Here's the details for today's big update!

• 2 theater environments with dynamic lighting. Light from the screen affects the environment—it looks really cool and totally immerses you
  
• a Campfire environment with fire animations
  
• 4 space environments at 4K resolution

When 2-4 people display their desktop on the big screen, it turns into a split screen

• New 3D video controls: when you go into SBS it only changes the big screen, so you can still choose your video on your small screen.
  
• 3D video hotkeys: F6 toggles SBS, F7 toggles OU. These keyboard shortcuts are customizable in the Input settings.

• Camera interface for easily taking GIFs & screenshots and capturing video for Youtube or streaming to Twitch
  
• Screen brightness slider for your screen (massively reduces godrays)
  
• Performance and streaming quality/framerate improvements

We just launched another Bigscreen update!

You can now send text messages to people in your multiplayer room. This is great for chatting and sharing links.


We now perma-ban users that get too many reports in multiplayer rooms. If someone trolls you (ex. coming into your room and displaying porn), please report them. After several strikes, they will be banned from using Bigscreen's public rooms. Banned users can still use Bigscreen in singleplayer or private multiplayer rooms.

If you kick someone from your room, they will not be able to re-join your room (even if they restart or reinstall).


Next week, we're launching a new Home Theater environment! It's legit amazing to play games and watch movies in there. The light from screen makes the environment light up dynamically. We think you're going to love it, it's better than real life. Seriously.

• We added a bedroom environment for watching movies while lying down in bed or a couch. This can only be used in singleplayer or private rooms, not public rooms.
  
• You can now customize your hair color!

• Only the room admin can change the environment in multiplayer rooms
  
• When you take off your headset, your avatar will switch to a model of your HMD instead of a creepy decapitated blinking head
  
• Oculus Home users see their Oculus Home profile image in the UI
  
• The customize screen sliders are less sensitive
  
• Fixed bug with leap motion hands color
  
• Hopefully fixed bug with avatar mouths not animating
  
• SBS works on the big screens
  
• Other people's monitors get hidden when they enter your personal space bubble
  
• Fixed bugs with streaming your desktop when rejoining a room
  
• When streaming your desktop audio, you can change the outgoing volume in the Room UI
  
• Temporarily removed anti-aliasing options due to a bug with Oculus SDK 1.3 (we'll be fixing this soon)

Hey everyone!

We made a new trailer to celebrate the new custom avatars!

• More supersampling and anti-aliasing (MSAA) graphics options
  
• Added volume controls for desktop audio
  
• Expanded latest rooms to show latest 20 rooms instead of 10
  
• In Multiplayer you can mute your microphone and desktop streams by clicking the green icons in the Control Panel. When you pause your desktop stream, other people will see a black screen saying "Paused"
  
• Bug fix: SBS video in multiplayer
  
• Bug fix: Vive controllers and SBS working on TVs
  
• Added new UI to Offline mode
  
  A subtle note but we changed the styling of our name to "Bigscreen" - all one word - instead of the previous styling which had a capital "s". Also, we're not related to Steam Big Picture and Bigscreen is not made by Valve. We had some negative reviews on Steam complaining about that!
