UPDATE: A recent change has made YouTube player products usable once more. As this is an unexpected change beyond our control, we cannot guarantee that players will continue to work for any period of time. 

YouTube player products have stopped working in IMVU Classic (the 3D Chat Software). This change was caused by Google/YouTube and is therefore out of our control.

Google no longer wishes to support Flash for external players and they are in favor of other avenues like HTML5 or HTML6. More information can be found in this YouTube document. Due to this and the uncertainty of a fix being implemented by Google/YouTube, impacted users should hide said products for sale in their catalogs.

As a reminder, any third party tool can include a dependency that is outside the control of IMVU. Creators of these products will have the ability to point their products to other video service providers if they choose.
