Ello ello!
It’s been a while since my last post, but I want to talk about something that has disappeared out of the roblox development community & has really been set a side, that’s why I would like to put into the spotlight, a lost feature: Videos
2 years, still no change, on 2020-08-31T23:00:00Z roblox introduced a feature into the marketplace, videos!
To this day you can still view videos that have been uploaded & insert them into your game, however in recent times we’ve had almost 0 changes provided to us developers.
At the time, many people were making assumptions that Roblox would make huge changes on this update and provide us with brand new features, such as standard developers being able to upload videos to the roblox marketplace & have them inside of their own roblox games.
Yet, here we are - 2 years later, with absolutely no changes provided to us. One of the first main sighting of videos was at the 2020 bloxies, where we saw major changes to how roblox events were handled, however in 2021, we have a 3D bloxies with a combination of videos and 3D models.
I feel as if developers who don’t have massive connections in the roblox community were expecting to have access to bigger tools, but we still see high end roblox developers getting into the action with smaller developers getting little to non access to special features.
What’s going to happen to roblox videos?
Personally I have no idea, we haven’t gotten any news from roblox regarding the video situation, I feel that this isn’t going to happen to “normal developers”, videos coming to roblox have really been put under the cover and I don’t feel like anything major is going to be coming back.
I did say earlier on that “normal developers” won’t be getting much, even some big developers are not getting access to the roblox videos, this could have simply been an excuse for roblox just to give videos to themselves so they can use it in roblox.
Passing to you!
