Smoke launches, plus call and post fixes

MyTube

•Fixed the error when attaching an image or GIF to a community post
•The header now has three tabs: MyTube, Concord and the new green Smoke

Concord

•Ending a call is much more reliable — hanging up always closes the call right away
•If the other person hangs up or cancels while it's still ringing, your call screen closes too
•Closed the tab or lost connection mid-call? A popup lets you jump back into the same call as long as the other person is still on it

Smoke

•Upload a project by pasting its link, giving it a title, and optionally a description and thumbnail
•Clicking a project's thumbnail opens the game right in the same tab

September 24, 2026

Community Posts, a MyTube notifications tab and ban appeals

MyTube

•Recommendations are gone — Community Posts take their place, and the old community ideas were cleared out
•Community Posts work like a public feed: text, images and GIFs that everyone can see
•Every post has an upvote arrow above the score and a downvote arrow below it — the score goes negative when downvotes win
•Moderators and the Admin can pin a post to the top; only the Admin can unpin someone else's pin
•Your latest posts now show on your channel page, and tapping one opens the MyTube posts feed
•The Daily Vid tab is now a Notifications tab: new videos from channels you're subscribed to, who liked your videos, and who subscribed to you, with times
•Bans and suspensions now show the reason the Admin or moderator wrote
•Banned or suspended people can send one appeal, which goes straight to the Admin — accepting it lifts the ban right away, rejecting it is final

Calling comes to Concord, plus a notifications centre

MyTube

•Faster, lighter loading on smaller and older devices — thumbnails and shorts now only fetch what they need up front
•Videos start quicker and stutter less on slower connections
•The top MyTube and Concord tabs are now rounded like a proper tab bar, with more breathing room above the toolbar

Concord

•Voice and video calls: hit Call on anyone's card or in a DM, then choose voice or video — it works on both sides
•Video calls have mute, camera on/off, and a reaction picker (happy, sad, star, heart, withering rose, moai, party, angry and more) that floats over the call
•Mid-call you can ask to switch a voice call to video or a video call back to voice — the other person accepts first
•Incoming calls drop down like a phone notification with the caller's name and Accept or Decline buttons
•A ringing sound plays while you wait, and fades out exactly as the join sound plays when they pick up
•Missed calls are recorded as 'Missed call' with who tried to reach you
•Do Not Disturb silences every sound and popup — no ringing, no call cards, no notifications
•New Notifications tab under DMs: unread chats, friend requests, group invites, deleted chats, blocks and call activity all land there
•'All read' marks everything at once, and read notifications clear themselves after 7 days
•The DM chime is much quieter
•Voice Lounge rebuilt so everyone in the room hears everyone — except people you've blocked and anyone a moderator has banned from the lounge
•Removing a DM now warns you first, and deleting one for good is a separate, clearly marked step
•Only the group owner can delete a group chat, behind two warnings — members are told in their notifications and the chat can never be opened again
•A card pops up when a friend comes online, with a Say hi shortcut straight into a DM

September 3, 2026

Admins vs moderators, full account wipes & chat cleanup

MyTube

•Roles renamed: the protected owner account is the Admin, and everyone promoted through the password is a Moderator — the Admin keeps every moderator power plus account deletion, announcement removal and password changes
•The Admin never shows a Moderator tag anymore in the moderation console — the protected account is recognized by its role and username everywhere (console, channels, Concord), not just on one page
•Deleting an account now wipes it completely: the sign-in, profile, videos, shorts, comments, replies, reactions, announcements, recommendations, playlists, reports, watch history and Concord messages all go with it
•Private accounts only reveal their display name and bio to other people; everything else stays yours
•Profiles and channels can use a custom background banner image instead of the gradient
•The MyTube and Concord tabs sit flush against the toolbar with no gap, and the app you're in always sits on top instead of overlapping

Concord

•Hiding a DM with the x only tucks it away — the new All DMs list brings it back, and a trash button deletes it for real
•Reorder your DM list however you like without affecting anyone else
•Delete messages just for you or for everyone; deleted ones read 'This message has been deleted'
•Send voice messages with the mic button in the chat bar
•Group chats have a members panel: owner first, then online and away people, then everyone offline
•Group owners can upload a custom icon or GIF; default icons use the chat's first letter on a random color
•Concord profiles show bio, last seen and full details in one place

•Private accounts show up as a private profile in Concord too

August 26, 2026

Concord

•Opening Admin, Profile or any Account page from Concord keeps you in Concord instead of switching back to MyTube
