If you've searched for an IMVU music bot, you probably want one thing: music playing in your room without fighting with radio links, audio software, or a laptop you have to leave on. This page shows exactly how it works, what you can type, and what it costs.
A music bot is an account that joins your room and streams to the room radio. Anyone types !add and a song name and everyone hears it. Setup takes about two minutes and works on mobile.
What an IMVU music bot actually does
IMVU rooms have a built-in radio that can play an audio stream. On its own, that means hunting for a station link and pasting it in — and everyone hears whatever that station happens to play.
A music bot replaces that. The bot joins your room, takes over the radio, and streams the songs your room asks for. When someone types !add, the bot finds that track, plays it into the room radio, and moves to the next one when it ends.
Nothing is installed on your computer. The bot runs on our servers, so the music keeps playing whether you're at your PC, on your phone, or asleep.
How to add a music bot to your room
- Add your room.Sign in with Discord and paste your IMVU room in the dashboard. Public or private both work.
- Invite the bot in IMVU.Invite it exactly like you'd invite a friend. It accepts and walks in on its own.
- Make it a moderator.Then it switches the room radio on for you. Nothing to paste, nothing to configure.
- Type a song.Type
!add blinding lights. It starts playing for everyone in the room.
Everything you can type
This is where most music bots stop and Catvu keeps going. There are 50+ commands. Music is the reason people install it — the games are the reason rooms keep it.
Music
The core. Anyone in the room can queue; mods can override.
Moments
The small touches people actually screenshot and share.
Room games
This is what keeps a room busy on a slow night.
Room control
Owner and moderator tools.
Music gets them in.
Games keep them there.
It greets people by name, on its own
Most rooms die the same way: someone new walks in, nobody says anything, they leave. The bot fixes that without you having to be at your keyboard.
A fresh line each time — not the same copy-pasted greeting.
You stay in control of what it says
You can write your own welcome with !welcome, or let it write one. Either way it runs through a content filter first, so it won't post anything crude, sexual, or spammy in your room — even if someone tries to make it.
It roasts people, gently
Type !roast @someone and it writes a custom roast from their profile. It's the single most-used game command, because it makes people laugh and then stay.
Bot vs. the other ways to get music
| Radio link | Basic bot | Catvu | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pick the exact song | No | Yes | Yes |
| Guests can queue | No | Yes | Yes |
| Works on phone app | Partly | Varies | Yes |
| Plays while you're offline | No | Varies | Yes |
| Synced lyrics | No | No | Yes |
| Room games | No | No | 16+ |
| Private rooms | No | Varies | Yes |
If all you want is background noise, a radio link is free and fine. The moment you want a specific song — or you want the people in your room to pick — you need a bot.
The things people worry about first
Will this get my account banned?
The bot is a separate account that joins your room — it never touches your login, your password, or your credits. You are not installing anything into IMVU or modifying the client.
Does it work on the phone app?
Yes. Setup happens on the website once, and after that everything is typed in room chat. Same commands on mobile and desktop.
Do I have to leave my PC on?
No. The bot runs on our servers. Your room keeps playing when you close IMVU entirely.
Can other people spam it?
Anyone can queue a song, which is the point — but mods keep !skip, !clear, !stop and !mban to shut down anyone who abuses it.
Does it work in private rooms?
Yes. Invite it in IMVU and it joins. One plan covers three rooms — two public and one private.
What it costs
- 3 rooms — two public, one private
- Every command unlocked, no upsells or add-ons
- Runs 24/7 on our servers, not your PC
- Cancel any time from the dashboard
- 30-day money-back guarantee — if your room doesn't feel more alive, email us and we refund every penny
That's roughly the price of one coffee a month to stop your room going quiet.
Common questions
What is an IMVU music bot?
An account that sits in your room and streams songs to the room radio. People type a chat command, the bot plays the song, everyone hears it. No downloads and no audio software.
Can I play YouTube or Spotify songs in IMVU?
Yes — that's where the bot pulls tracks from. You type a song name rather than a link, and it finds it.
Do I need to own the room?
For a public room, the owner or a moderator sets it up. For a private room you just invite the bot in IMVU.
How many people can hear it?
Everyone in the room. It plays through the room radio, so there's nothing each guest has to install or turn on.
What happens if I cancel?
The bot leaves your rooms at the end of the period you paid for. Within the first 30 days you can ask for a full refund instead.
Is there a free way to do this?
IMVU's radio can play a free public stream, so you can have background music at no cost. What it can't do is play a song someone just asked for — that's the part a bot handles.
