When can we find a different way to let users experience new updates in a more secure way without verification? I’m kinda getting tired of all these new features being announced with me along with lots of other users being locked out of it due to id-verification being required, just because I don’t want to submit my id verification.
Will 17+ experiences also be considered for this, or is it limited to all-ages content?
Can the music used include music from the Roblox library?
Given I have never been on the top picks and exposure has been limited I don’t hold out much hope. But if I was I think I might need to tweak my video to remove the text between cut scenes:
Actually, they have called this out that they would reimburse costs…
I don’t really see why ID verification is needed just to upload a gameplay video. It’s not like we’re dealing with payouts or anything sensitive. Kinda limits younger devs who could still make good content.
This is YET ANOTHER feature that does not need to be locked behind experimental testing.
I’m pretty sure it would be easier to release it to the public in the first place, anyways.
Edit: So stupid this also needs ID verification. It’s literally a video improvement for clients, stop obsessing over ID verification roblox. Please and thanks!
I have a question if I apply and get accepted if I don’t immediately upload a video for my game will I get kicked out or will I have a limited time to upload a video or just unlimited? because I am working on a project that’s unfinished and I want to be able to use this one day 1 release @skpm_plz
Hi @FouledAnchors , video playability will be gated by the user’s ability to play (due to it depicting actual gameplay). So even though you will be able to upload a video, not all users will see it.
Hi @pjhinthehouse, yes you can use music from the Roblox creator store.
Also your game looks really good, will put on my list to try
Hi @Minerdude_alt, we are testing the efficacy of this feature while we scale out some of the more tricky aspects like video serving performance, storage and moderation.
While I wish it would be easier to just release to everyone, unfortunately that is currently not the case
Hi @Puma_incredible, in this pilot we will be manually mapping your experience to the video asset ID.
If you don’t upload the video within an acceptable timeframe (TBD timeframe - you could ask if you get into the pilot), there is no guarantee that the mapping will exist on production on your release day.
is there at least gonna be some way to do it for free and without ID after this feature gets further along?
Thanks for asking @Wheatly199, since we are using the video upload flow, our requirements are currently tied to these existing requirements.
We can discuss with the appropriate team as we gather more insight about the feature usage.
Ohh, that explains why the video thumbnail upload button for games I can’t click anymore. It used to show 400 Robux price I think and the button was green in old GUI. Well hopefully we all get a chance to use it soon!
Edit: The reason for the price increase from 400 to 2000 is because Roblox now uploads the videos directly to the website for moderation meaning it takes up more storage to save rather than just a link to the video. I still think everyone should have a chance at video uploads.
it literally took me 5 minutes to do
If you have a ID on hand then yes it would be fast, some people may not have a id with them yet. But if you do then you have go verify using a third party and let that third party and roblox access your personal information, you have to trust roblox and that third party to not leak your information. I hope they don’t leak that information like how they leaked RDC emails but anyways. Not everyone feels sure about the safety and trust of Roblox at the moment. I believe Roblox could do real well but at the moment they do make questionable decisions and lots of false bans.
Imagine getting false banned on an account with your ID attached to it. If they enforce bans like they do then you wouldn’t be able to use your ID because they ban alts meaning all ID verification stuff will be locked forever unless you convince Ai moderation you did no wrong on the account that was banned.
Apologies if I missed somewhere where it says this, but is there any predicted time for this release? I’m wondering if I should have a longer video for my trailer on my upcoming game, so I’d make the trailer in a few months and would like to get the most out of it if I can.
Thank you!
This is great!
Love to see this new way of game discovering being implemented. W Pilot!
I am certain that on Web, it is played on an embedded player and on clients it is simply a WebView within said client. If the latter is what you’re referring to - makes sense. But really, why restrict this feature to gameplay only, instead of using it for its intended purpose - trailers - that other marketplaces do as well? Or is the gameplay restriction purely for this test?
Sadly the games I made/scripter are not my own games
and the game I am working is not even close on being finished sadly, will be for another time, but a W feature, I had loved to help on it! but sadly I need to pass for now.
