# Vimeo Import Preferences

**Location:** MediaBlaster → Settings → **Vimeo Connection**

Requires **Enable Vimeo Integration** on the Features tab. OAuth setup is covered in [Vimeo Connection](integrations-vimeo-oauth.md). This guide covers the import and upload toggles on that same screen.

All of these controls are MediaBlaster **toggle switches** (not checkboxes). Values store as `on` in `rovidx_smart_tv_vimeo_options`.

## Allow uploads to Vimeo

Shown in **Step 3 — Connect your Vimeo account**, above Connect/Reconnect.

| Setting | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| **Allow uploads to Vimeo** | Enable before connecting (or reconnect after changing) so the OAuth grant can include upload access. Your Vimeo app must allow API uploads. |

When this is on and Vimeo is connected, the post editor shows **Upload to Vimeo** on the [Vimeo metabox](metabox-vimeo-import.md).

## Import defaults

Shown in the **Import defaults** card below the connection steps.

| Setting | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| **Update WordPress title from Vimeo** | When importing, also update the WordPress post title. |
| **Update WordPress description from Vimeo** | When importing, also update the WordPress post description. |

Turn these off if you prefer to write titles and descriptions in WordPress and only pull stream URLs and technical metadata from Vimeo.

## Saving

Click **Save Vimeo Settings** at the bottom of the page. Connection credentials and these toggles save together; import/upload switches still persist in `rovidx_smart_tv_vimeo_options`.

## Legacy URLs

Bookmarks to the old **Import & Uploads** page (`rovidx_smart_tv_vimeo_options`) redirect to **Vimeo Connection**.
