How to cancel a paid Vimeo subscription

2. Hover your cursor over the profile icon, located in the top left of your browser to reveal a dropdown menu, where you'll select "Settings."

3. From the menu list on the left side, click "Billing."

4. You'll see an overview of your membership plan, with an option to toggle "Auto-renew on." Click "disable auto-renew" or toggle the button to the "off" position.
