Vimeo is one of the popular video OTT streaming applications that you can use to watch free videos on your streaming devices. However, earlier this year, Vimeo announced that it would end support for its apps on smart TVs. Before this announcement, the Vimeo app was available to be installed on Philips Android, Google, Roku, and NetTV versions.
However, I still use the built-in Chromecast function of the Vimeo app on my smartphone to cast the content on my Philips Smart TV. If you’re an Apple user, you can also use the built-in AirPlay feature to cast the content to your Philips Roku TV. In this guide, I will show you how to stream Vimeo content from your mobile devices on different versions of Philips Smart TVs.
