You've probably noticed by now that cameras have been disabled in Habbo for quite a while. We regret to inform you that after much consideration, Habbo has decided not to restore the photo-shooting functionality on the camera.
This decision has been made because of the way that cameras work in Habbo. The way they save the image makes them vulnerable to scripting and possibly harmful actions inside the Hotel. We want Habbo to be as safe as possible to use and in order to achieve this, camera functionality had to be removed.
If you own a camera and film, then there is no need to worry; the camera will remain in your possession as a regular, non functioning item of Furniture. If you have logged in within the past 90 days and own a camera, you have also been given some Credits as compensation for not being able to use your camera the way you could before and for having unused film in your possession.
The amount of Credits you received was determined by how many unused films you own. You must have a camera and a minimum of three films in order to qualify for the compensation (this is because the camera used to come with two free films when it was purchased).
Regrettably any pictures you already own will no longer display in Habbo.We are sorry that we had to take away this popular feature within the Hotel, but would like to assure you that we are busy working on many new features that we hope will be just as popular in the future.
