Vimeo is changing its video bandwidth policy, here is what CEO Anjali Sud has to say

American video hosting, sharing, and services platform provider Vimeo has announced to change its video bandwidth policy. The decision has come after Vimeo which follows the guiding principal of ‘Users First’, realised that that their policies are failing to serve the best interests of a group of users.

Anjali Sud, CEO Vimeo, has extended an apology to top 1% of users of Vimeo who faced unnecessary friction and anxiety after some users consumed large amounts of video bandwidth — repeatedly hitting the bandwidth threshold for Vimeo’s top 1% of users.

Sud has suggested a solution to the problem. Vimeo has plan to charge those who consistently or significantly exceed the video bandwidth thresholds. She also highlighted that more than 99% of Vimeo’s users don’t reach the threshold that would require the Company to charge them extra.

Sud informs that those who require an exceptionally large amount of bandwidth need to pay extra as compared to their flat subscription fees.

According to Sud, more than 70% of users who originally hit their bandwidth threshold choose to pay more to continue using Vimeo’s service, and go on to become some of our longest-retaining customers.

Sud has also clarified that they are not specifically targeting video creators while employing this model, in fact it is applicable to all users equally.

Emphasising on Company’s policy to support their core creators, Sud writes that they will continue to invest in products and programs to support them. Vimeo supports creators by offering  online program for creative professionals to help sharpen their skills through courses, network, and find work. Sud confirms that they will continue to invest in these and other initiatives to help creators thrive.

Upcoming changes

To improve clarity and transparency moving forward, Vimeo will be setting the monthly bandwidth threshold at 2TB (or 2,000 GB)—which would impact even less than 1% of our users. Users can access their bandwidth usage report directly on their Vimeo account to track usage. This decision has been taken after fully reviewing Vimeo’s existing bandwidth policy and listening to feedback from some of highest bandwidth users.

More frequent and visible alerts

In addition to the analytics dashboard that shows ongoing usage and in-product alerts, Sud has announced that users will receive notifications via email when they’ve exceeded the monthly bandwidth threshold.

Extended notice periods

Vimeo has decided to give a minimum of 30 days-notice period to respond to their team and reach an agreeable resolution if a user exceeds the monthly threshold. During this time, there will be no changes to their account, videos, or service.

Giving users more alternatives

Vimeo will continue to provide a pro-rated refund for any current paying subscriber user that exceeds our bandwidth threshold and decides Vimeo is no longer the best fit for their needs. In those instances, the Company will provide time to migrate their videos off of our platform and repay the remainder of their account balance.

Rolling out an exemption policy

Vimeo CEO has also confirmed that the Company will be rolling out an exemption policy moving forward where creative professionals would not be restricted by the 2TB bandwidth threshold, as long as they aren’t using Vimeo to monetize those videos elsewhere.

Vimeo will share more details on the same within the next 30 days. The updated information will be available on their help center.

Vimeo offers paid subscription plans that enable access to their platform to cover the costs of operations. It serves as a one platform for all your video needs such as create, manage and grow. The video platform is used by more than 260 million users globally.

Each paid tier provides different limits on usage and different access to advanced video tools and features.

In another development, Vimeo has suspended support for new customers in Russia and updating their content guidelines. The decision has come in response to invasion of Ukraine by Russia.

iPhone14 with a pill shaped cut-out, Check the details here!

The Apple iPhone 14 series is scheduled to be released later this year, although rumours about it started circulating last year. The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max are said to be ditching the notch in favour of a punch-hole design. What? Yes, we’ve been this shocked as well!

iPhone 14 render

Even now, there are conflicting accounts about the notch. According to some sources, the iPhone 14 Pro display will have a single punch-hole, while others claim the display would have a mix of two separate punch-hole designs. A fresh render of the iPhone 14 Pro depicts how that design may appear.

iPhone 14 rumoured design

Pigtou has released concept renderings of the iPhone 14 Pro, which showcase the rumoured twin punch-hole design. The iPhone 14 Pro seems to have a notch-less display in the renderings, but the punch-hole design does not appear to be unusual at all. A pill-shaped cutout on the left and a hole-shaped cutout on the right make up the combination. The images don’t say what these two distinct designs are for, but if earlier claims are to be believed, the pill-shaped cutout would house all of the Face ID-related sensors, while the hole-shaped cutout will house the TrueDepth camera.

iPhone 14 design render

In the new renderings, the iPhone 14 Pro is gold in colour. Although the name of this variation is unknown, Apple has a history of releasing gold-coloured iPhones with unusual names. The gold tint seen in the renderings appears to be different from the iPhone 13 Pro’s gold colour.

Gmail to come up with more chat icons for Google chat and spaces for Android

Gmail launching chat iconsGmail for Android is getting a new update that will replace the status bar icons for alerts from Google’s Chat and Spaces services. With Google Hangouts approaching its end of life, this is a new feature that further differentiates the two chat systems. Chat is the company’s primary messaging software, while Spaces is a Slack-like rival for chatting with bigger groups. Before this update, both the icons for the chat and spaces looked the same. Each would display you a message bubble filled in with an empty one behind it. That is no longer the case, and chat will henceforth display only an empty single message bubble.

According to Google, an undersea cable that would increase internet speeds for millions of Africans landed in Togo on Friday, March 18, 2022, the latest phase in a multi-year initiative to bring cheaper access to customers throughout the continent. Reportedly, the Equiano cable, which is the first of its type to reach Africa, has twisted its way from Portugal and will increase internet speed for Togo’s 8 million citizens.

Togo is going to be the first one to reap the benefits. According to a Google-commissioned study by Africa Practice and Genesis Analytics, the cable is predicted to lower internet rates by 14% by 2025. Google has also predicted in a commissioned study by Africa Practice and Genesis Analytics, that the cable will lower internet rates by 14% by 2025.

Availability in other African continents

The new route will also reach Nigeria, Namibia, and South Africa, with future extensions connecting to more nations in the region. It is also expected to be operational by the end of the year. For other nations poised to profit in a region where internet use is rapidly increasing, but networks are frequently cripplingly sluggish and a drag on economic progress, this might be a taste of things to come.

According to a 2020 analysis by GSMA Intelligence, Sub-Saharan Africa remains the world’s least-connected area, with approximately a quarter of the population still missing mobile broadband service, compared to 7% globally. Furthermore, the majority of West African nations rank towards the bottom of a global rating of internet penetration by the World Bank.

Russians got banned while Ukrainians received more free features on PayPal

PayPal is expanding its services for Ukrainian users and waiving fees to aid humanitarian efforts in the country as Russia continues to invade the country. Ukrainians will be able to make and receive peer-to-peer PayPal or Xoom payments, according to a press release, and the company will not charge any fees on either side of the transaction.

Previously, people in Ukraine could only utilise the payments platform to send money out of the country. They will now be able to receive funds and conduct transfers both within and outside of Ukraine. Customers in Ukraine will be able to transfer money from their PayPal Wallet to their bank account by linking an appropriate Mastercard or Visa debit or credit card.

PayPal

PayPal also announced that Ukrainians will be able to transfer funds from their accounts to Mastercard and Visa cards. Also, citizens who have fled the country will be able to use these features provided they open a PayPal account in Ukraine. According to the company, Ukrainians will be able to send and receive funds in US and Canadian dollars, as well as British pounds and Euros. (The hryvnia is Ukraine’s official currency.)

PayPal’s announcement comes in response to a request from the Ukrainian government for the payments company to roll out new services that would allow Ukrainians to obtain payment access.

Ukraine’s Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation, Mykhailo Fedorov, praised the expansion on Twitter and shared a letter he received from PayPal with the public.

“Our teams have worked intensively to recognize how PayPal could quickly provide additional services to Ukrainians,” the letter from PayPal said. “We believe this service will be helpful for Ukraine people to accept money from their relatives and friends around the world. Also, it will help Ukrainian refugees in other countries, so they can receive funds to withdraw or use in their current location.”

Customers in Ukraine will be able to send and receive funds in USD, CAD, GBP, and EUR using their Ukrainian PayPal Wallet. The money will be available in the currency associated with that card after a consumer transfers funds from their PayPal Wallet to an approved debit or credit card.

PayPal’s services were shut off in Russia earlier this month, prompting the announcement. PayPal isn’t the only corporation to abandon Russia; Mastercard and Visa have both discontinued network services in the country.

Since the war began, people have been looking for methods to financially support Ukrainians. According to Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky, some people from around the world have been booking Airbnbs in Ukraine without intending to stay there, in order to send financial help to hosts in the country. Additionally, Ukraine has received cryptocurrency donations worth tens of millions of dollars from people who are looking to help its war effort against Russia.

The expanded services of PayPal will simplify a more direct way to support Ukrainians.
