Update Patreon and VivaPlus 2/8/24
Added 2024-08-02 03:36:55 +0000 UTCHello Patreon Community!
What a wild week it’s been for both us! We’re thrilled by the amazing feedback and reception of VivaPlus so far. Your support and enthusiasm mean the world to us as we embark on this exciting new chapter. Here’s some new updates and also the same important information you may find helpful in relation to Patreon and VivaPlus.
For Annual Members:
If you have multiple months remaining on your Patreon annual subscription and want to switch to VivaPlus, we can transfer those months over to a new annual plan on VivaPlus. This transfer discounts the monetary value of your remaining months off your new VivaPlus plan, up to the value of 1 year of VivaPlus membership. Note that we cannot cancel your Patreon subscription for you, so you’ll need to manage that separately however you will still have access to both Patreon and VivaPlus during these discounted months. To start the transfer process, please email us at info@vivaplus.tv with your Patreon email and the VivaPlus tier you’d like. Please wait to create your VivaPlus account until you receive your transfer code, as we cannot apply discount codes retroactively. This offer cannot be combined with other offers, and the deadline for transferring is September 1st.
For Monthly Members:
If you’re on a monthly Patreon plan and want to switch to VivaPlus, use the code NICEMONTH at checkout to get one free month of VivaPlus at any tier! This code helps avoid double charges if your Patreon renewal is coming up soon. We recommend canceling your Patreon account after using this code.
Note that NICEMONTH is valid only for monthly plans. Discount codes cannot be combined, stacked or used in conjunction with any other offer. Discount codes are only applicable on the VivaPlus desktop website, not the VivaPlus App. They can only be used once per account so please keep the codes and your account information confidential. Only one code is accepted at checkout - if two or more are entered, the code with the best value is automatically applied.
This code expires on September 1st 2024. Unfortunately, we cannot refund or apply the code retroactively to your account if it’s forgotten at checkout, so be sure to enter it correctly. If you are a new member and you have missed the deadline, email us at info@vivaplus.tv for an alternative free month code.
For more information on discount codes please check the FAQ here: https://vivaplus.tv/pages/faq
What’s New with VivaPlus:
VivaPlus offers much more than Patreon, with fantastic new features and more planned for the future. While we do plan to phase out our Patreon page eventually, it will remain active for the time being to fulfil those long-term perks. We encourage you to transition to VivaPlus to enjoy its expanded content and features.
App Update:
As of August 2, 2024, our VivaPlus app for Apple is still awaiting approval from third parties. We apologise for the delay and will update you as soon as it’s available for download.
However, it is now available in the Android store! Search for Viva+ TV in the Google Play store to download. Please keep in mind Google Play and Apple add on a 30% fee to transactions made through the app, so we still recommend signing up for your tier on vivaplus.tv to avoid this cost.
Patreon Perks:
We’ll continue delivering perks for Patreon members throughout the year, including voice notes, Bandcamp access, and the end-of-year video shoutout. If you’re missing any perks, please message us here on Patreon.
Feedback and Content:
Thank you so much for your patience as we work through any teething problems in our first week of launch!
If you’ve moved to VivaPlus and have any feedback or issues, please email us at feedback@vivaplus.tv. We’re collecting your feedback to make real-time improvements.
Thank you Patrons!

Yep - it's a massive backlog so it will take a while and we'll be asking what series people would like to be moved over first so we can prioritise!

2024-08-09 05:40:38 +0000 UTCWill you be uploading all your videos that are on YouTube to the viva+? It seems to be missing a lot of my favorite videos unfortunately 😞
Julie Desjardins
2024-08-08 16:28:52 +0000 UTCGotcha. That worked. I think the confusion was “it only works on monthly plans” which is what I was coming from.
Bj Forrest
2024-08-05 04:53:11 +0000 UTCGotcha! Makes sense. I actually signed up on viva+ with a different email but I changed it to my patreon email 2 or 3 days later, hopefully that doesn’t mess things up. Thank you 🎉

2024-08-05 03:20:05 +0000 UTCYou can use the same email you use for Patreon and it should show up on your profile within a week, or if you must use a different email, please send proof of your Patreon membership/Members Card to contact@support.vivaplus.tv.

2024-08-04 23:19:15 +0000 UTCHow do I get my Patreon “streak” to translate over to my Viva+ membership?
Heaven Scent
2024-08-04 22:56:48 +0000 UTCApologies for this Paul, we included the transfer information at the beginning of our FAQ posted July 23rd before launch. We didn't include it again on the previous post on Launch Day as majority of our members are monthly and the annual transfers were being done on a case-by-case basis. Email us at info@vivaplus.tv and we can see what we can do!

2024-08-04 22:53:55 +0000 UTCHi BJ, it will work at any tier but only on a monthly plan, not an annual plan as I believe you are trying to select. The code that will give you more than one free month off for an annual plan is SAVE20.

2024-08-04 22:48:09 +0000 UTCThey accept paypal on vivaplus.tv, yeah.

2024-08-03 15:12:27 +0000 UTCHi, PayPal will work or Google Pay? I don't want to share my credit card number..

2024-08-03 08:37:18 +0000 UTCI can absolutely appreciate the desire for Viva+ … makes perfect sense to not have to pay the Patreon fees. However, I do not desire to support creators through anything other than Patreon or YouTube Subscriptions. Thank you so much for making the content available on YouTube. You folks are hilarious, and I am happy to have supported you for the last year or so since we found you. If you ever come back to Patreon or YouTube subscriptions, will support you again. Good luck!

2024-08-02 23:34:25 +0000 UTCAh. Too bad the annual membership transfer information wasn't on the last post that this is largely a duplicate of. I couldn't find any information on this subject previously, so I gave up and signed up in Viva+, since there was a time limit on the discount code. I guess I'm supporting Viva on both platforms for the next year.

2024-08-02 19:31:36 +0000 UTCIt says at any tier though? “If you’re on a monthly Patreon plan and want to switch to VivaPlus, use the code NICEMONTH at checkout to get one free month of VivaPlus at any tier!”
Bj Forrest
2024-08-02 19:05:44 +0000 UTCGuys, Viva+ is great. I know we get lots of sollicitation online, but this one is really worth it. Much easier to use than Patreon, more content, more perks. I'm telling you, you won't regret leaving Patreon behind for Viva+.
Sylvie Gendron
2024-08-02 17:08:32 +0000 UTCIt's a different code if you're going from a monthly into a yearly. I can't remember it right now, but you should have gotten an email about that.
Sylvie Gendron
2024-08-02 17:05:24 +0000 UTCWeird. The promotion code shows invalid. I’m on a monthly subscription on here and signing up for a year on viva+.
Bj Forrest
2024-08-02 14:28:33 +0000 UTCViva has been the only entity I've backed on Patreon. About a year now I think. I'm really not feeling the Viva+ thing. I love everything they do, but this seems to be too much.
Michael Norys
2024-08-02 13:14:27 +0000 UTCThe app will not clear through my Norton software security. Sorry guys, I don't download if it can't be cleared.
John Woods
2024-08-02 12:19:49 +0000 UTCHeh! Rowan would love a chance ro show o...oh... you mean uncensored profanity? Yeah. That would be nice. I'm not a fan of swearing myself, but still it feels more natural than beeping.
Bartosz Błaszkiewicz
2024-08-02 12:04:07 +0000 UTCWill the videos be uploaded to Viva+ uncensored?
Eric Steup
2024-08-02 11:52:21 +0000 UTCYep! That's why it'll take a while to upload our entire catalogue of videos, as they'll all need a re-cut! Note taken :)
Viva La Dirt League
2024-08-02 11:12:28 +0000 UTCWhy has this become so complicated?
cyberjanet
2024-08-02 06:56:49 +0000 UTCThanks. I found an unusual amount of Viva+ and vivia plus apps so it was throwing me off.
Kellic
2024-08-02 04:54:04 +0000 UTCSo you do recut them to remove the sponsorship? That's what I wanted, but not what I expected what with you having so many videos... I think it's worth emphasising this point in your communication because it's great!
Bartosz Błaszkiewicz
2024-08-02 04:27:28 +0000 UTCWe manually cut out any midrolls and annotations that usually interrupt a video! We also don't upload any sponsored content like our AFK Journey collabs. The only exception may be our very very old Patreon bloopers as they are Youtube embeds. With hundreds of them, we haven't begun our process of transferring them off Youtube, so there is a slight chance a banner ad could pop up pushed by Youtube. This is pretty rare this slips through though, embeds are not meant to have any ads.
Viva La Dirt League
2024-08-02 04:22:40 +0000 UTCWhat does it mean that your videos are available ad-free? Is it like when I pay for YouTube premium? Where YouTube doesn't display any ads, but I still get sponsor messages and all that is embedded in a video? Or is it true ad free like some youtubers are doing (e.g. KyleHill or Veritasium) where Patreons get a different edit of their videos - without any sponsorship?
