Can I view Disney+ Amazon Prime Netflix?
Can I view those services if I have them? Can I view them with friends even if they don't have them?

Bigscreen doesn't stop any of these services from working. The app just streams your Windows 10 desktop to everyone in the room. Some apps and programs may block Bigscreen for DRM reasons though. There's nothing we can do about this if this happens, and the only workaround there is to use a different program or app to play your video.

Thank you very much.
One last questions: Do the movies you can rent rotate?

Yes, I think at least some of them change every week, maybe month. Periodically anyway. Though by "rotate" I am not sure that they always come back around, but they do change.

As someone who use to stream on public side , you will find netwrok providers seem to be blocking access to doing this , Youtube for example gave me warning when streaming with firefox , i had bluescreen yesterday when streaming movie and i noticed someone today who was streaming disappeared fast. Seems to be getting more diffcult to stream movies in Public rooms

Firefox browser runs the streams from these streaming services fine. Other browsers have in-built DRM from HBOMax, Disney+, Netflix to prevent streaming outside of the browser.

I bet the Hollywood companies want every individual person to buy the movie. But that's really pretty stupid, because if you have IRL friends over to your house to watch a movie, that's obviously legal and accepted.

What difference does it make if your friend is an IRL friend watching at your house or a virtual friend watching the movie with you in a private VR room on Bigscreen?
