Here are some Frequently Asked Questions about Shared Rooms.

What does the Shared Room package include?

• Ability to share - manage/decorate together - a room with a friend

• Ability to make a shared room public using one of your slots

• Ability to use furniture or rooms from both collections to decorate the room

• An animated badge for your profile card (you can display it like any other badges you get)
  

Who can buy Shared Rooms?

The Shared Room feature is available to everyone, regardless of age or account status (VIP, AP, Guest, etc.).

How much is a Shared Room package?

The Shared Room package is available for $14.99 from our Store. This is a one-off charge -- the person you are sharing it with does not have to buy it too. In other words, a single package is good for two people.

Who can you share your room with?

You can invite anyone from your Friends list to share your room with you.

I purchased the Shared Room package but the tile is still locked in the IMVU Classic.

Once your friend accepts the Shared Room request, the new Shared Room button in the IMVU Classic will be unlocked. The tile will remain locked while the request is still pending.

Can I change my default room?

The Shared Room package comes with a fully-furnished starter room. However, you can use any of your own rooms to share.

Do we get a badge similar to what you get with a Marriage Package?

Yes! The package comes with an animated badge that you can flaunt in your profile card.

What will happen to the badge if I stop sharing the room?

The badge will remain with both users - only the room will be revoked.

Is it possible to share a room with more than one friend?

No. You can invite any number of users in a shared room, but only you and your selected partner are allowed to “share” (set up, decorate, and manage) the room.

I already have one Shared Room. Is it possible to have more?

You bet! If you want to share a different room with another (or the same) user, simply purchase additional Shared Room packages.

Is there a limit in purchasing the Shared Room package?

There is no limit. You can purchase as many as you want.

Is it possible to change the room to AP even if my friend is not AP?

Yes, it is possible. But your friend will lose access to the room since he/she is not AP.

Where can I access my shared rooms?

You may access your shared rooms on the following platforms:

• IMVU Classic - Both partners have to be on version 495.4 or above to share rooms.

• IMVU Website and IMVU Desktop - Head over to “Chat” at the upper part of the page and click on “My Rooms”.

Note: Your shared room is under the section “My Other Rooms”.

If I buy a Shared Room package and share it with my friend, will he/she have the option to stop sharing the room as well?

Yes. Both users will have the option to stop sharing the room.

Note: If you decide to stop sharing, you can simply go to your Shared Rooms page and click on "stop sharing". Once you do so, the Shared Room feature will be locked and any items in your room that are not from your own inventory will be removed.

Can I buy a room, share it with one person, stop sharing with that person and use that same package to share it with someone else?

No, one package purchase may be used for sharing a room with one person only.

Can I share two separate rooms with two separate partners at the same time?

Yes, it is possible. There is no limit to how many rooms you share to others (provided you have enough Shared Room packages), and how many rooms others share to you.

Where can I see all my shared rooms?

You may go to the Shared Rooms page to see the list of all the rooms you are sharing as well as check Invite status and/or stop sharing.

Can I revoke an invitation to a room?

Yes. An invitation that is unanswered after 24 hours may be revoked by the sender.

Can any partner make the room Public? If so, can we still both edit the room?

Yes. Any partner can make the room public. You will need to follow the usual steps for making a room public. However, there will be changes in the editing permissions. Please check out this article to know more.
