Vimeo Launches Flash-HTML5 Hybrid Video Player

Vimeo has made their Flash-HTML5 video player the default player for the site bringing support for non-Flash devices such as the iPhone, iPod, and iPad.

The site began working on an HTML5 player late last year; however, it was mainly available to paying pro members and for a handful of its featured content channels.

Now the hybrid player has been integrated across the site. When you play a video it detects your hardware and loads either an Adobe Flash or HTML5 video player, as well as the proper video stream based on your connection.


Vimeo has also launched a "Watch Later" feature that lets you bookmark videos to watch at a later date.
