MTV.com experimented with entirely video-based layouts between 2005 and 2007 . The experiment began in April 2005 as '' MTV Overdrive '' , a streaming video service that supplemented the regular MTV.com website . Shortly after the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards , which were streamed on MTV.com and heavily utilized the '' MTV Overdrive '' features , MTV introduced a massive change for MTV.com , transforming the entire site into a Flash video-based entity . Much of users ' feedback about the Flash-based site was negative , demonstrating a dissatisfaction with videos that played automatically , commercials that could not be skipped or stopped , and the slower speed of the entire website . The experiment ended in February 2006 as MTV.com reverted to a traditional HTML-based website design with embedded video clips , in the style of YouTube and some other video-based websites
