Step by step

Add your room on the Catvu dashboard and sign in.

Invite the bot from inside IMVU, like inviting any friend. It accepts automatically and joins your room.

Turn on the radio — paste the stream URL the bot hands you into your room's radio settings. (Make the bot a moderator and it sets the radio for you — no pasting.)

Play any song — type !add bohemian rhapsody (or any YouTube/Spotify track). It queues and plays for everyone.

FAQ

Can I play music from YouTube in IMVU?

Yes — a music bot resolves the track from YouTube (and Spotify) and streams it to your room's radio.

Do I have to be the room owner?

For public rooms, owners or moderators can set it up. For private rooms you invite the bot from inside IMVU.

Can other people add songs too?

Yes. !add is open to everyone in the room; mods keep control with skip/stop/ban.

Is there a free way?

IMVU's own radio plays any audio URL, but maintaining a 24/7 stream of any requested song is what the bot handles. See the Music Bot page for pricing and the money-back guarantee.
