2020

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, MTV rebranded the show to MTV Unplugged at Home, as part of the network's #AloneTogether campaign, a social media initiative created to encourage the practice of social distancing among young people "in the hope of 'flattening the curve'" of the outbreak. It became an online series instead, with episodes released on MTV's YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter accounts, and featured a mix of local and international artists performing from their respective homes around the world.

  • Wyclef Jean – March 20. Jean was the first artist to perform under the new At Home format
  • JoJo – March 25
  • Yungblud – April 1, Los Angeles
  • Alessia Cara – April 3. Cara was the first artist featured after MTV announced the official launch of At Home as a livestreaming series earlier that same day.
  • Melissa Etheridge – April 7
  • Finneas O'Connell – April 10
  • Jewel – April 14
  • Shaggy – April 17
  • Kiana Ledé – April 21

  • Marcus Mumford – May 5
