Bigscreen’s new update adds support for 12 players

It’s time for another Bigscreen update, and this latest edition makes the social VR app even, well, bigger.

The Big Room Update, as it’s called, includes some key new features. Perhaps the best addition is support for up to 12 users in three new expanded environments, all based off of pre-existing scenes. Previously the app had supported up to four people in a room in the smaller rooms. In these larger spaces, only the host is able to stream content to the virtual display and they’ll need an internet connection of 10Mbps upload or better to do it.
