Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]  
REVENUE REVENUE
Revenue Recognition

Vimeo's revenue is derived primarily from SaaS subscription fees paid by customers for self-serve and sales-assisted subscription plans. Revenue, in the amount that reflects the consideration Vimeo expects to be entitled to, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual term of the arrangement beginning on the date that the service is made available to the customer. Subscription periods generally range from one month to three years with the most common being an annual subscription and are generally non-cancellable.

Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue consists of payments that are received or are contractually due in advance of Vimeo's performance. Vimeo’s deferred revenue is reported on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. Vimeo classifies deferred revenue as current when the term of the applicable subscription period or expected completion of its performance obligation is one year or less. The current and non-current deferred revenue balances at June 30, 2022 were $176.9 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Non-current deferred revenue is included in "Other long-term liabilities" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The current and non-current deferred revenue balances at December 31, 2021 were $173.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, Vimeo recognized $141.3 million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance at December 31, 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, Vimeo recognized $110.7 million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance at December 31, 2020.
Practical Expedients and Exemptions
As permitted under the practical expedient available under Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Vimeo does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, (ii) contracts with variable consideration that is allocated entirely to unsatisfied performance obligations or to a wholly unsatisfied promise accounted for under the series guidance, and (iii) contracts for which Vimeo recognizes revenue at the amount which Vimeo has the right to invoice for services performed.
Assets Recognized from the Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer
Vimeo has determined certain costs, primarily commissions paid to employees pursuant to certain sales incentive programs, and mobile app store fees, meet the requirements to be capitalized as a cost of obtaining a contract. Commissions paid to employees pursuant to certain sales incentive programs are amortized over the estimated customer relationship period. Vimeo calculates the estimated customer relationship period as the average customer life, which is based on historical data. When customer renewals are expected and the renewal commission is not commensurate with the initial commission, the average customer life includes renewal periods. For sales incentive programs where the customer relationship period is one year or less, Vimeo has elected the practical expedient to expense the costs as incurred. Vimeo capitalizes and amortizes mobile app store fees over the term of the applicable subscription.

The current and non-current contract asset balances are included in "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" and "Other non-current assets", respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and were $3.8 million and $6.7 million, and $3.5 million and $6.2 million, at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
