Bigscreen VR UPDATE: Watch live TV channels in your own private movie theater on
Bigscreen Beta · published
We launched a major Bigscreen VR update today!
Previously, Bigscreen TV channels were only possible in public TV rooms that was hosted and managed by Bigscreen. Fun, but not for everyone. Over the past 2 years, we heard lots of requests from users that they wanted to create their own rooms and watch TV channels privately, with their own friends.
Today, we launched an update that lets you watch TV channels in your own room! You can easily switch between different channels in your own room and watch TV with friends. The TV channels are free websites such as Pluto TV, Twitch, Adult Swim, and more.
Over the last 2 years, we've been building up the library. We currently have more than 100 TV channels up and running. Rick and Morty, Hells Kitchen, and a bunch of 24/7 movie channels are among the popular channels. We also host rocket launches, tech keynotes, and live streams pretty often.
🏈 SUPER BOWL
We dropped this update before the Super Bowl so people can watch the Super Bowl in their own room with family and friends. This new feature works just using a Quest, no other PC or laptop is required to stream.
To watch the Super Bowl in Bigscreen, you just need to launch Bigscreen (free) on your VR headset (Meta Quest 2, or any PCVR headset like Valve Index, Windows Mixed Reality, HTC Vive) and click on the Super Bowl icon in the Bigscreen VR menu. It will immediately load the Super Bowl live stream in your own private room.
If you want to watch the Super Bowl with others, you can invite your friends into your private room, or make the room public and hang out with football fans across the country.
Release Notes
This update also fixes several bugs. Notably, the social videoplayer and social movie rentals now work correctly! This previously broke in December 2021 when we launched the major Streaming Update.
