Using Vimeo Video for Contents

Vimeo is used as a centralized video hosting platform to ensure secure, controlled, and high-quality video delivery within the Gametize environment. By setting videos to unlisted and disabling downloads, it prevents unauthorized access and distribution while maintaining a smooth playback experience. Additionally, Vimeo supports clean embedding and consistent branding through presets, ensuring all content is presented professionally within the challenge.
