Vimeo enforcing content rating for all public videos

[Aapo Lettinen]

Just noticed that all of my videos and the company videos too (showreels, movie trailers, etc) went offline and trying to watch them only returns a message that the video is "not rated" and the viewer "must log in to watch it".

The content rating has been in the settings for a little while but now it seems that they don't allow anyone to watch a unrated videos without logging in... and all the old videos are unrated by default now so I have to go to the settings of them one by one and change every video separately to "All Audiences" to make them work again.

It is possible that it behaves differently in some other regions and does not restrict the wathing this much in some parts of the world, but at least here you are unable to get your public showreel or movie trailers etc. seen without changing this setting first.

made a typo on the thread title ?  meant to write "forcing" content rating.

Huh, never saw that. Just tested with a video I posted 6 years ago and has only been watched one time.

Not the case for me either. Can't find anything in the news either, and this would make the tech news I think

OP, I get a similar messages when they take down my videos / ban me.

if you can't see the effect in the USA or Switzerland  then it might be that they enabled it in EU now and the other regions may have different schedule?
