+## DISCONTINUATION OF THE VANCED PROJECT
 
-# Vanced Issue Center
+Vanced has been discontinued in the month of march 2022. Since then we have removed all download links but our Discord server, Telegram chat and subreddit will stay. The reasons for the discontinuation can be found here: https://telegra.ph/Vanced-Discontinuation-03-19
 
-The purpose of this repo is to help you find your way around.
+**UPDATE APRIL 2023:** It has been seen that vanced has started to stop working for many people. This was expected since Google deprecates older versions with time. Hence, please update to the official Youtube release.
 
-Make sure to look through the existing issues to check if your problem was already reported before opening your issue!
