1Join Discord and link your Roblox account
This tells us which Roblox account is yours. You only do it once.
- Join our Discord server if you haven't yet.
- In any channel where the bot works, type
/linkand press Enter. The bot (As Productions | Hub) answers with a Roblox Access message and three buttons: Close, Play on Roblox and Enter code. Only you can see this message. - Press Play on Roblox (1). The game opens and shows you a code. Copy that code.
- Go back to Discord, press Enter code (2), paste the code and send it.
/link again. If it says you are already linked to Roblox, everything is fine. Linked the wrong Roblox account? Use /switchaccount.2Turn on two settings in Roblox Studio
Your game must be allowed to talk to our server and to draw the video on the screen. Without these two settings the video stays empty or black.
- Open your game in Roblox Studio.
- Click the File menu at the top and choose Experience Settings (1).
- In the window that opens, click the Security tab on the left (the tabs are Basic Info, Communication, Security, Additional Settings).
- Switch Allow HTTP Requests ON (1, first picture). The switch turns green.
- Scroll down a little and switch Allow Mesh / Image APIs ON (2, second picture). It turns green too.
- Press Save (3). The Save button is grey until you change something. Both switches must be green.
3Upload a video
Videos are uploaded in Discord with the /videochunks command. The bot converts the video for Roblox and saves it in your library.
- In Discord type
/videochunksand pick it from the list (1). Discord shows the description Upload a video to your video library and the text +4 options. - Add your video: attach a file (2), or paste a url (3).
- Optional: type a name in output_name (4). This is the name shown in the game. If you skip it, the file name is used. For a big file choose source (5), see below.
- Press Enter and wait. The bot replies with a message that only you can see and shows the progress in percent (for example 0/100%). When it finishes you get a green message with a link to the Video Library.
| Box | What to put |
|---|---|
file | A video file from your computer or phone (mp4, mov, mkv, webm, avi, m4v, flv, wmv, mpg, mpeg or gif). |
url | A YouTube link, a direct link to a video file, or a gofile.io link. |
output_name | The name of the video in the game and on the site. |
source | Choose Gofile for big files (see below). |
Big file? Use Gofile
Discord limits how large a file can be. For a big video choose source: Gofile. The bot sends you a message with two buttons:
- Press Open Gofile, upload your video there and copy the link Gofile gives you.
- Go back to Discord, press I uploaded it — paste the link and send the link.
- The bot converts one video at a time. If someone else's video is being processed, yours joins a queue: the bot shows your position (for example #2) and starts your video automatically when it is your turn. You don't need to do anything. You can have one video waiting at a time.
- Short videos upload faster. Very long videos may be refused (see the limits below).
- You must have linked your account first (step 1), otherwise the bot asks you to use
/link. - Can't find
/videochunks? It is only available to approved members. Ask in Discord.
Your limits
The owner can set limits for every person. You can see yours on the Video Library page (next step):
- Number of videos — you cannot upload more than your limit. Delete a video to make room.
- Video length — a video longer than your maximum is refused. Send a shorter one.
- Storage — the total size of your videos. If it is full, delete a video first.
4Open the Video Library
This is the website where you manage your videos and choose in which games they play.
- Open Video Library and press Sign in with Roblox (or Discord, when the button is shown). You only sign in with Roblox or Discord — we never see your password.
- If the page says Account not linked, go back to step 1 and use
/link.
After signing in you see the My videos tab:
- My videos — how many videos you have out of the number you may have.
- My storage — how much space your videos use out of your space.
- Max video length — the longest video you may upload.
- ▶ Play — watch the video on the page. Rename — change its name. Delete — remove it for good (the files are deleted and the video disappears from your games).
5Add your game and choose its videos
A video only plays in a game after you add that game here and tick the video. A game is called a Place and is found by its Place ID.
Find your Place ID
Open your game's page on roblox.com. The Place ID is the number in the address: roblox.com/games/920587237/My-Game.
Add the game
- Open the Places tab.
- Type the Place ID in the box (1) and press Add (2).
- This place belongs to another Roblox account.
- This place belongs to a group you do not own.
- This Place ID was not found on Roblox. — check the number.
Choose the videos
- Click your game in the list (1).
- Tick the videos that should play in this game (2). Select all and Clear help with many videos.
- Press Save (3). The game sees the change after a moment.
You can come back at any time to add or remove videos. Remove place removes the game from the list (your videos stay in your library).
6Play your videos in the game
After steps 2 to 5, join your game. The Video Screen panel is already there.
The panel
- Video buttons (1) — one button for each video you ticked in step 5. The name on the button is the name of the video.
- Settings (2) — the Code ID box is only for screen sharing (step 7). Start (green) starts the screen share. Reset (red) reloads the panel.
Play a video
- Join your game on Roblox. At the start the screens show a loading percentage (for example 31/100%). Wait until it reaches 100%.
- Click a video button to play it. The selected button gets a green frame. Everyone in the server sees the same video at the same time.
- To stop the video, click the same button again or right-click.
7Share your screen in the game
Show your own computer screen on the game's screen, live.
- Open Video Screen in Chrome and sign in. Screen sharing needs access: if the page says no access, ask in our Discord.
- Choose the Stream quality (1) (see the table below).
- Press Start screen share (2). Your browser asks what to share: the entire screen, a window or a tab. Pick one and confirm.
- An ID appears (1 in the second picture). Press Copy ID (2).
- In the game, click the Code ID box in the Settings column and paste the ID (1). Then press the green Start button (2).
- On the website, Game: connected and receiving means it works.
While you are sharing
- Change quality — pick another quality in the list. It changes immediately, the ID stays the same.
- Change screen — press Change screen to pick a different screen, window or tab. The ID stays the same, so the game keeps playing. If you cancel the picker, you keep sharing the old screen.
- Stop — ends the share. Press Stop on the website, and Reset in the game, when you are done.
Quality
| Quality | Size | Frames per second | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low | 320 × 180 | 12 | Slow internet |
| Medium (recommended) | 480 × 270 | 10 | Most people |
| High | 640 × 360 | 8 | Sharper picture, little movement |
| Maximum | 960 × 540 | 10 | Only for members the owner approved |
- Keep the Video Screen tab open while sharing. You can switch to another window.
- Only the screen is shared, never sound.
- The game shows your screen a few seconds late on purpose, so it plays smoothly.
- If the game lags, choose a lower quality. A higher quality needs a faster internet connection and a stronger device.
8Problems & answers
Click a question to open the answer.
My video does not show in the game
Check these in order: (1) the video is ticked for your game and you pressed Save on the Places tab (step 5); (2) you added the right Place ID; (3) Allow HTTP Requests and Allow Mesh / Image APIs are ON (step 2); (4) you rejoined the game after changing things.
The screen in the game stays black
Most of the time Allow Mesh / Image APIs is OFF. Open File → Experience Settings → Security and turn it on, then press Save. Also check that you pressed Start in the game after pasting the ID, and that the website says Game: connected and receiving.
"This place belongs to another Roblox account" / "a group you do not own"
You can only add your own games. Sign in to the Video Library with the Roblox account that owns the game, or with the owner of the group. If the game belongs to a group, only the owner of that group can add it.
The bot says I reached my limit / the video is too long / not enough storage
Open the Video Library, look at your limits at the top, and Delete a video you don't need. For a video that is too long, cut it shorter and upload it again.
The bot says "Link your Roblox account first"
Use /link in Discord (step 1). The Video Library also shows Account not linked until you do.
I can't see /videochunks in Discord
The command is only for approved members. Ask in our Discord server.
The browser did not ask me which screen to share
Use Chrome and allow screen sharing for the site. If you pressed Cancel in the picker, press Start screen share again. On a Mac, Chrome must be allowed under System Settings → Privacy & Security → Screen Recording.
The picture is laggy or stutters in the game
Choose a lower quality in the list (you can do it while sharing). A phone or an older computer works best with Low or Medium.
Where do my videos go? Is it private?
Only you (and the site owner) can manage your videos. Read the Privacy Policy for details.
