How to watch Netflix or a video while playing poker

[skandal83]

I seen someone on PokerVR watching Netflix in a big screen in the VOID while he sat at the table and played. How is this accomplished?

could be OVRdrop. its on the steam store.
edit: free version is called Open VR Desktop Display Portal. might want to try that.

I imagine you can also do it with Oculus home, it lets you pin windows. I'll have to try it.

I couldn't find the free program you recommended so I paid for the OVRdrop. Works great. Thanks.

+1 for OVRdrop, very easy to use.

I can confirm that if you are on Oculus, the in built virtual desktop lets you do it. I was watching the NFL on Sunday while playing.

I use OVRDrop and it works really well. It's a little tricky to grab and resize with the controllers, but once you get the hang of it, it's not too bad. I watch music videos while I play poker. :)

press the home button, select virtual desktop, pin the window, navigate, and play the movie, pull it out, move it and resize to your liking then exit the oculus home screen and it will be pinned as a overlay into the virtual world.

so you can "pull" individual windows out of virtual desktop and have them "pinned" into VR? Or is it just the entire virtual desktop that gets "pinned"
