YouTube Removal

This temporary info page is about the removal of YT support (April 6, 2022)

Last updated 3 years ago

Since before the start of this project, our central mission has always been clear, and that is to create a vibrant service that allows for a unique and engaging experience. We strive to provide our users with a full-fledged product that can satisfy their needs - which is why this decision wasn’t made lightly.

In an effort to ensure our service remains ToS-compliant and intact, we have decided to remove YouTube support from StormBeatz effective immediately due to legal concerns.

The side effects of this change are:

  • YouTube videos cannot be played

  • All platform-specific commands have been removed (youtubesearch, soundcloudsearch, spotifysearch, etc.)

  • Soundboard must use audio file links (YT links won't work)

How can I play music now? Try using the play command with the song name and artist name. If our new primary source has it, it will play. Most fairly well-known songs should be available. Track and playlist links from various music platforms (spotify, soundcloud, tidal, apple) still work and attempt to play the song from our primary source.

We apologize for any inconvenience and hope you stick around to see the cool new features we have in the works for the remainder of the year :)
