Important Update: YouTube playback will be gradually deprecated across all currently supported IMVU platforms due to ongoing compatibility limitations and changes outside of our control. As this process continues, the feature may become unavailable depending on the platform you’re using.
While video playback in rooms may return in a different form in the future, there are no concrete plans or timelines to share at this time.
In the meantime, Radio Streaming remains fully supported and can still be enjoyed in rooms, allowing you and others to continue sharing music and enhancing your room experience.
A recent change has made YouTube player products unusable. 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.
