Very dissappointed with Vimeo

Anyone else disappointed with Vimeo and their decision to no longer allow videos to default to HD? I mean seriously, what is this? Who is gonna know to change the quality to the "best" HD by clicking on the HD button?

Here's a good discussion on Vimeo about this: https://vimeo.com/forums/topic:278667

I'm going to need to find an alternative, because I'm not paying for a service that does this to my videos. Any suggestions, anyone?

I never used vimeo just due to being lazy but now I'm glad I never switched. This is fucked.

The thought of having to use YouTube is not good.

What is the problem with YT? Really, I don't know much about it or why some don't like it.

Yup. Made the switch a couple years ago to YouTube and haven't looked back. Honestly most clients end up using YouTube any ways and the UI is a thousand times better. Best part is it's free

Hmm.......I use an add blocker and have no issues viewing. I have a channel, but I have no adds. So I guess I'm "F"ed!

Word. There's no way to embed in the highest quality though, is there? Maybe a programmer could draw up some type of code?

Not sure if you are talking YT or Vimeo. Here, I will embed a YT video. Auto is the default. If you have the connection speed you will get 720. Then you can go to 1080, but you don't need that for most screen sizes.

"The "default to HD" setting should not have been removed in advance of this rollout. We've reverted this change, and you should now have access to this setting once more."

I think they changed it back?
