Vimeo couch fashion - how it works

Couchmode at Vimeo - that's the reason
- Just like you can play a playlist on YouTube, Vimeo also offers you the option of a video stream with its "couch mode": Whether you have a subscribed channel, clips marked as favorites or videos marked with "watch later" - the couch mode brings all of this to a personal playlist together.
- In contrast to the YouTube competitor "Leanback", you can also call up background information on the video in full screen mode.
