Stream Camera

By default, the VRChat window shows a first-person view that moves with your head. With VRChat's Stream Camera, you can switch to a fixed third-person view for streaming or recording.

Opening the Stream Camera​

  1. Open Display VR View in SteamVR. After you switch to Stream mode, the VRChat window no longer shows the first-person view, so you will need VR View to see what you are doing.
  2. In Bridge, click Mouse & Keyboard, then press Q to open the Quick Menu.
  3. Open the camera and switch its mode to Stream.

The VRChat window now shows the camera view, and you can continue operating in VR View.

Flying Mode​

With Flying mode on, the camera can leave your avatar and move freely, which is useful for third-person shots.

  1. In VR View, click Flying in the camera settings.

  2. Press Alt+Tab to switch to the VRChat window, then use the mouse and keyboard to move the camera into position.

  3. Press Alt+Tab to switch to Bridge, turn off Flying mode, then exit Mouse & Keyboard control. The VRChat window now shows a fixed view that no longer follows your head.

tip

Turn off Flying mode before you exit Mouse & Keyboard control. If you do it the other way around, the Stream Camera may flip upside down as your avatar's hands lower. To fix this, enter Mouse & Keyboard control again and press Q to open the camera settings, and the view will return to normal.
