Vimeo signs users in with their Vimeo account — the connector for video tooling and creator platforms that read or publish videos.

## Copy the redirect URI

In the [Authdog console](https://console.authdog.com), select the project and environment, open **Authentication > Providers**, find **Vimeo**, and click **Enable**. Copy the redirect URI shown in the form:

```url
https://identity.authdog.com/api/v1/callback/<connectionId>
```

## Create the application

1. Open the [Vimeo developer apps page](https://developer.vimeo.com/apps) and create an app.
2. Fill in the name, description, and app URL.
3. Under **Authentication**, add the redirect URI from Authdog as a callback URL.
4. Copy the **Client Identifier** and **Client Secret**.

## Configure Authdog

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| **Client ID** | The Vimeo **Client Identifier** |
| **Client Secret** | The Vimeo **Client Secret** |

Save, then toggle the connection **active**.

## What Vimeo returns

Authdog requests the `public email` scopes and reads the profile from `https://api.vimeo.com/me`.

The `/me` endpoint returns the user URI, display name, avatar, and — with the `email` scope — the account email.

Vimeo user URIs look like `/users/12345`; the numeric portion is the stable identifier.

## Test it

1. Open your environment's hosted sign-in page, or link to `https://identity.authdog.com/api/v1/signin/<connectionId>`.
2. Select the Vimeo button and complete the flow.
3. Confirm the user appears under **Users** in the console with a Vimeo identity linked.

## Troubleshooting

| Symptom | Cause |
| --- | --- |
| `invalid_scope` | The app was not granted the email scope by Vimeo |
| Redirect or callback URL error | The URI registered with the provider does not match Authdog's exactly |
| Works in one environment only | Each environment has its own `connectionId`, and so its own redirect URI to register |
