how to stream this via discord?
hi
this game is more difficult to stream than other vr games for me.
my friends told me the quality is really bad through discord stream.
other vr games like beat saber are fine.
what is the best way to stream this game?
thanks.

Open SteamVR first. Once you have the little status window, MINIMIZE IT.

Then, open Half-Life: Alyx by double clicking it in your Steam list. You should see "SteamVR" be replaced with Half-Life: Alyx above your voice settings in discord - at that point, click "Stream"

If the SteamVR isn't opened and minimized ahead of time, for some reason it takes precedence and you just stream your status window.

(Be sure to set Spectator HUD to medium or small, and Spectator camera smoothing to medium or high for best viewer experience.)

Did you stream the Steam VR "Display VR view" window?

I just use Steam broadcasting for my friends to watch. If anything is going to work with a Valve-made game, it's that.

Oh! And be sure you click back onto Half-Life: Alyx. This game is a system-sucker, and your FPS will suffer if the "preview" in Discord isn't paused while streaming.

Oh! And set Spectator view to RIght Eye if you aim down your right eye (as most do I think?) otherwise everything looks off for them during gunplay.
