In 2018, PokeLulz, BasedYoona, Chris Chan and his wife, Pecca left the group due to monetary reasons. PokeLulz left due for him not getting a Travel visa for America, Yoona left due for the group having a bad communication with him and due for coordinations of IRL Trips of the Group as Yoona lives far from the old OfflineTV House, and Chris Chan and Pecca left to focus on family and other endeavors.
Following this, Fed joined as the 5th member after being an editor for over a year. About a month after this, Yvonnie joined as the house manager for OfflineTV.
Later that year, sleightlymusical joined as another member of the group, however, left in late 2019 due to personal complications, and in late 2019, Michael Reeves joined, making him the 6th member of the group at the time.
In late June of 2020, Reeves first began streaming on Twitch.
On June 27, 2020, Yvonnie and LilyPichu came out with sexual allegations towards Fedmyster, a former member of OfflineTV. Because of these allegations, Fedmyster was removed from the group and the OfflineTV house.[1] According to Ng (Yvonnie), the start of the situation started happening months prior to the allegations.
On 2021, they rebranded their logo after 4 years of using the same logo which were drawn by Aria Manzoori.[2] The same year, QuarterJade, Masayoshi and Sydeon joined the group.

Federico M. Gaytan (born: August 7, 1995), better known online as Fedmyster is an American Youtuber and Twitch streamer who mainly makes IRL content. He was an editor for OfflineTV and was featured in many of their videos. Fed originally made hype trailers for gaming groups such as TSM. However, Fed got popular for making videos with OfflineTV members. He joined this group in June 2017.
On June 27, 2020, fellow OfflineTV members Yvonne "Yvonnie" Ng and Lily "LilyPichu" Ki came forward with sexual misconduct allegations involving Fed. Yvonne stated that on two separate instances, Fed would enter her room uninvited, lay down on her bed, and begin inappropriately touching her. Lily also stated that he would enter her room uninvited and make inappropriate advances on her. Fed was removed from the group following the allegations, and in the week following his removal, over half a dozen members of the OfflineTV friend circle came out with their own stories of his inappropriate or manipulative behavior.
On November 24, 2020, a 25-page statement by Fed titled "my truth" was leaked, which alleged that much of the situation was exaggerated to form a false narrative against him. Fed specifically cited a story where Imane "Pokimane" Anys claimed that he had attempted to have Yvonne "Yvonnie" Ng fired after she refused advances from him; he refuted this allegation and instead claimed that Poki had wanted to fire Yvonnie much earlier as conveyed in text messages presented in the statement. Poki addressed the leaked document on stream the next day by reading and responding to each section, conveying the situation in her point of view, but stressing that neither had ill will for the other. Fed later responded to the leak by stating that the statement was made months ago and that although they disagreed on some aspects, they eventually decided to keep it hidden and move on, and that the statement being leaked was unintentional and undesired for both of them.
In June 2021, Fed uploaded a video to his YouTube channel announcing his return to content creation.
