YouTube gets most of the “auto-post new videos to social media” attention, but plenty of creators, brands, and agencies host on Vimeo instead — for its ad-free player, privacy controls, or client-facing portfolio use. Vimeo’s RSS support has a mixed history worth understanding before you build an auto-posting setup around it.
Vimeo Channel feeds follow a predictable pattern: add /videos/rss/ to the end of a channel’s URL. So a channel at vimeo.com/channels/yourchannel/ has its feed at vimeo.com/channels/yourchannel/videos/rss/ — open that URL directly and you should see standard RSS XML listing recent videos, updating as new ones are added to the channel.
Vimeo has discontinued RSS feeds tied directly to individual user accounts and general site activity — not everything Vimeo once exposed via RSS is still available that way. If you’re trying to auto-post from a personal profile rather than a Channel, test the feed URL directly in a browser first; if it doesn’t return valid RSS XML, that’s confirmation it’s one of the deprecated feed types, not a bug in your auto-posting setup.
For Vimeo sources where a native feed isn’t available, third-party feed-generator services (RSS.app and similar tools) can produce a working RSS feed by watching a Vimeo page directly, sidestepping the native-feed gap. That generated feed then becomes a normal RSS source for any auto-posting tool, including PostRSS — the auto-poster doesn’t need to know or care whether the feed came from Vimeo natively or from a generator sitting in front of it.
Test your specific Vimeo URL pattern first (Channel feeds are the reliable option), confirm it returns valid RSS XML, then add that URL as a PostRSS source and connect it to your destinations — Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Pinterest, or others. From there, new videos added to the channel post automatically on your schedule, the same as any other RSS source.
No — Channel feeds (via the /videos/rss/ URL pattern) generally still work, but Vimeo has deprecated feeds tied to individual personal accounts and general activity. Test your specific URL directly to confirm before building automation around it.
A third-party feed-generator service can create a working RSS feed by watching your Vimeo page directly, which then works as a normal source for any RSS-based auto-posting tool.
No, and it doesn’t need to — both are just RSS feeds by the time they reach the auto-posting tool, which treats them identically regardless of how the feed itself was produced.
Vimeo Channel feeds still follow a working, predictable URL pattern, even though personal-account RSS has been deprecated. Test your specific feed URL first; if it’s a Channel, you’re likely set, and if it’s a personal profile that no longer has native RSS, a third-party generator closes that gap without changing how your auto-posting setup works from there.
