Watching gameplay in Steam; in Play it works, in Make it does not.

Hi Kevin,

Per the subject line, my Steam friends can watch me play the game using Steam's video streaming, but they can't watch while I'm in the Make portion. Is this something that is relatively simple enough that you would consider implementing in the game, possibly by a developer Steam setting and not actual coding? They do not have to own the game to watch (although they do actually own the game, as I gifted it to a few of them).

For a comparison, my Steam friends can watch me while in the editing portion of Kerbal Space Program (V 1), known as a vehicle assembly building; as well as in actual gameplay with physics enabled. We use a voice app to speak to each other, which is not a part of what I'm talking about.

Please consider making this possible, as its easier for me to show a friend how use the editor than it is to try to explain it.

Thanks!

Hello,

That is very odd. There is nothing in the game that explicitly sets whether or not you are able to broadcast, so I would think that it should work in all areas of the game.

Does streaming work if you are on the main menu, before starting a game? Does it work if you choose "Start Offline Game" rather than "Host Game"?

My bad. My settings were changed by a Steam update at some point, so I fix that so now I can invite friends to watch. It works very well while in the maker.

Thanks!
