If you upload or play video on BlackPlanet, we have some important news for you:

The BlackPlanet tool you currently use to upload and view videos will be discontinued. If you wish to download your original videos already uploaded to BlackPlanet you can do so for a limited time, until April 11.

After Monday, April 11, members will no longer be able to upload and view videos using the Twistage tool on BlackPlanet. As a result of this change all the previously available pages in the

of BlackPlanet will no longer be available. In addition, the Video features of your personal pages will also be going away. 

If you want to save your favorite uploaded videos here's what you can do:

In your Profile "My Videos" area, look at each individual video, and hover over them. You should now see a "Download" link. Click that link, and the download will begin.

If you would like to add a video to your personal page please follow the instructions below:

1) Download your current videos from BP using the "Download Video " link

2) Sign-up and/or log-in to YouTube, Vimeo, etc.

3) Choose “Embed” and copy video embed code

4)  Check the "Use old embed code" option

5) On your BP page Personal Message select "Edit"

6) Click "Source" button in the edit menu

**Put spaces between each embed code so that you can edit/remove individual embed codes easily. (note- your personal message has a 100,000 character limit, so you will be limited in the number of videos you can embed)

8) Select "Save Changes"
 

9) Select “view your page” to preview the videos on your page

You liked them so much we now offer more! Today we introduced two more games to BlackPlanet.

Farmandia puts you in the farmers seat. Grow your produce, care for your animals and build your barns. The more you play, the more points you’re rewarded so you can keep your farm in business. Need a little help? Invite other BlackPlanet members to lend a hand.

When you’re done spending time on the farm, grab your virtual fishing rod and head to Fishdom where you’re responsible for feeding your exotic collection of underwater friends. You better earn your bucks because they get mighty hungry. You never know when you’ll need to purchase more food, accessorize your underwater kingdom or give your fish some new friends.

Don’t forget to select the Games tab on the homepage to stay in touch with other friends activity.
