Impronta or Vimeo
Vimeo protects against casual downloading. It does not tell you who leaked the syllabus or know who your student is.
Limiting video to your website does not identify the student
Vimeo can limit playback to your own website. That works well for preventing embedding elsewhere.
It does not stop an enrolled student from recording the screen or downloading and sharing the file. The video is identical for every student, so even if you find the copy there is no way to know who it came from or apply a consequence.
That is the main difference: with Impronta, the material shows the identity of whoever is watching it.

When to choose Vimeo instead
- Your uploads are marketing material: sample classes, testimonials or an academy presentation. Reach is the product there, and our protection works against that.
- You sell outside Moodle, such as WordPress, Teachable or Kajabi, and need to place the player anywhere.
- You need publishing tools such as channels, showcases and video-review collaboration. Impronta does not provide those features.
Many academies use both: Vimeo for the showcase and Impronta for paid course material.
What about price?
Comparing tariffs would be misleading: Vimeo is structured around storage and publishing features, ours around watched hours. Check both with your real usage; if Impronta does not make financial sense, we will say so in the demo.
