Well that’s very sad, This is a very useful feature. If they don’t plan to make this feature finally fully available to the public (As in allow to upload), might aswell find a way to make videos possible for everyone.

With audios now being free and private, this now becomes an interesting asset.
If custom video uploads are eventually added, they will more than likely become private too and require an upload fee.
I could see this fee varying dependant on file size though, making video compression the norm before uploading assets. (Videos over 7 minutes??)
The biggest concern Roblox probably has with this right now is copyright and moderation concerns.
Hopefully this will see the light of day eventually but I doubt it will be anytime soon.

I doubt this will ever come out, and if it does it will be really far in the future. This is just yet another Roblox update they’ve revealed to us and then went radio silent for years.

Why do these updates always get left in the dark? I have a perfect use for this as an instructional video in one of my group games.

For real. This is getting old. We all had many uses for this. We planned and saved for this. Then you just stopped. This is 300 replies long, you can’t just abandon this and work on other things.
This is a perfect example of what Roblox does, and shouldn’t do to begin with. they announce something, and then they send us back to the dark.
The clouds feature they announced like couple years ago didn’t receive any follow up either. Roblox should be more transparent with what they’re doing.
to everyone who keeps asking, they did give an update. it should be coming sometime later this year if everything goes accordingly.
That’s great to hear but it would be cool if they replied to some of our comments regarding the feature. At the moment we feel like we have just been left in the dark. How do we know our opinions on the feature have been looked at if we haven’t had any communication from them. But thanks for that news.

That’s great! Though don’t be disappointed if they leave us in the dark again. It’s just what companies are great at.

Yeah I was anticipating this a lot, seems like they just abandoned ship for a bit
I feel like the reason why it’s not out yet is also correlating with the audio update/issue. I hope Roblox will try to fix the audio issue and make their copyright scanner/finder better so they can roll out this feature to everyone to upload their own video.

They could give us a small update at the least though. That’s what we are more annoyed about. We have been left in the dark for over 2 years with no update at all.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it never went public. After the music lawsuit, videos can be copyrighted much heavier.

I agree, this will probably cost ROBLOX much more than if they didn’t release it at all.
Although I have to say that ROBLOX probably did this just as a testing demo, to see if their engine can handle videos. This will give developers a bigger way of making, for example, horror games more realistic, and also will improve the user experience, as games like bloxburg will actually have something to play on the TV and not just neon cat last time I checked.
They should honestly leave it UGC program only. I think roblox gives them more trust than almost anyone on the platform.
