I'm a Twitch VPX streamer but I LOVE playing in VR. It's next level for sure.

 

I've tried to stream my VR view, but people complain that it's difficult to watch because of the head tracking POV, which makes sense.

 

I'm wondering if down the road we can have a "Spectator" view checkbox where it will either show the old pancake view as well as the VR view to the player

 

OR

 

show a locked off second view from the VR view in addition to the player VR view.

 

I know this may use up some additional CPU/GPU cycles, but this is almost common amongst other popular VR games that have a spectator view for Twitch/Mixer/People watching on the couch. etc.

 

Also, you can turn it on so people can watch you play instead of the isolated VR view only.

 

Cheers,

I second this.   It would be nice to display out to your monitor/TV for other people to view live as well.

In this year 2026, I'd really love to see the feature somehow. 

 

I really want to stream without people getting sick watching my head bob up and down.
