Asset Type "Background" Does Not Show Thumbnail While Logged In

[Inkthirsty]

If you are authenticated, the thumbnail for backgrounds do not show. However, they do show if you are not logged in.

I believe this happens because while authenticated, the batch thumbnail API returns a raw file url with content-type “application/octet-stream” instead of “image/png”. The browser does not know that the content is an image causing it to fail. Additionally, the API response while logged in lacks “imageUrl” which may also be why it does not show currently.

This appears to have been fixed

Hi, any idea how you get access to uploading backgrounds?

[Inkthirsty]

I am unsure but I believe only Roblox can upload them at the moment, they may either become public or locked behind a pilot program like UGC animation packs.

Heya!

This will be available in the coming weeks, see:

@zephyr16_64

In the coming weeks, Plus users will be able to upload their own background designs in Creator Hub and sell them in Marketplace.

Hope that helps
