Vimeo is a fantastic site for filmmakers, animators, and creators of all stripes. A big part of its appeal comes from how easily users can customize their uploads.

For example, if you have a Vimeo PRO, Business, or Premium account, you can give your audience viewing options not available to others. For example: letting viewers change the video's speed.

Note, however, that speed controls only appear when the video has been embedded on another site. They won't appear on the regular Vimeo website or app. 

Here's how to speed up or slow down your Vimeo videos using speed controls. This can be done using any internet browser on a Mac or PC.
