Browser / YouTube for the private session room

[Doctor Raul]

How about imprementing a browser / YouTube player to the private room area? Games like AltSpaceVR already have this and it's quite useful. It would be a major addition. People could watch videos together or play their favorite music while playing cards.

And being in VR, it could potentially handle 3D and 360 degree videos too.

3D on a flat screen would always have parallax at an angle problems though. Everyone would need to be at the center of the screen for the full effect. 360 video could be possible if there was a way to make on orb and everyone could enter it, yes. I think AltSpaceVR even has those orbs as well.

But for now I'd just like to at least see a simple screen impremented, that acts like one owuld in real life. Everyone just sits down and the videos play on a screen on the wall.

I always assumed that the "under construction" area in the locker room with all the TV's was a hint that something like this could be coming aslong some time.

I'm with Raul and Smelly. Bring on the Youtube player :)

RecRoom is more about what happens "inside", what you can "craft out of it". Adding external features such as these kind of "break" with the game direction, IMO.

Some of us might get a bit bored already when in the Event Rooms and whatnot (no sh*t, we're on the many hundred hours playtime already) but for the very most, this is a feature that would just prevent and suck people out of the Locker Rooms, bringing everybody to their private rooms, where instead of having fun, say goofing around trying to make a card castle or prettending to be a barman (enjoying RecRoom), everyone would be standing stiff staring at a screen watching random stuff, thus also killing "inmersion". VRChat and AltSpace VR are examples of this. Dull, somewhat unsuccessful games for the most part.

If anything, maybe a custom Boombox you can input music into. Definitely not a screen.

It's almost as if you're implying that the screen idea is too good and people would much rather watch videos than play Rec Room. Doesn't make sense to me.

If you didn't have a TV in your house and had house parties do you think that buying a TV would ruin your parties, because then everyone would just stand around looking at it? lol

Another reason to have the video player in the lounge is that I don't like staying in the locker rooms too much anyway. Too many people who disrespect me and troll just for no reason. I love having the lounge area and private matches to spend time with the people I care about.

Thats because half of the audience is immature as hell. I didnt see you having too much of an issue playing paintball with you last night - thought that might have been a one-off.

yeah, probably once a week, I have some crazy person who attacks me for having a deep voice.
