VRChat+ Feature Ideas

Post ideas for new features for VRChat+ subscribers!
CDN and screen capture
The number one feature I want from VRChat+ is the ability to cast my desktop on to a surface in VR. Tools like VRCDN exist and work fairly well, but setting them up is involved and inconvenient. It is pretty annoying trying to use tools like OBS within a VR overlay. Lately, vrchat seems to be locked in a cat and mouse game with youtube repeatedly disrupting playback as well. There is heaps of utility in being able to easily do things like: play a youtube video on my own computer and cast it out to everyone, without needing to rely on "youtube downloader" type tools play a flat game, like ps5 remote play or geforce now or on a powerful enough computer, even run a game locally, and enjoy the couch co-op kind of vibes like people could give tips on puzzles or just enjoy the social element of seeing someone reacting in realtime show a photo screenshare an app like blender or unity and get realtime advice from experienced players on how to problem solve or improve creative projects put on an actual physical DVD or something and have a movie night analogous to IRL movie nights inviting friends over to my house. Providing low latency video broadcast services is inherently expensive, so it naturally justifies itself as a paid feature. It doesn't feel like a nickle and dime thing to me. On mobile and standalone vr i'd love to see the same thing supported, but offering the option of either an embedded web view getting captured, or on mobile devices where possible, integrating with the OS screencasting function in a similar way to apps like discord and streamlabs, so the whole phone UI could be captured and sent in world while the user could remain connected to immersive spatialised audio chat in world. Even better if it were possible to connect a second device like a tablet to the vrchat app and use that as the screen sender. You can imagine stuff like using webrtc to transmit p2p video directly between users devices so you get a really low latency view locally, where you could have a game running on an ipad that goes up on a screen you and your friends can see, that you could access on a quest standalone for example, as a more social version of the kind of AR pc monitor stuff that's becoming popular lately.

VRC Film Feature
This idea I thought of after watching the vr film called S.Y.N.C by Legend50210. Before VRC implemented EAC, there was a plugin that allowed you to record yourself and clone yourself to become multiple people in one scene. VRChat features a lot of avatars, people make a lot of avatars and worlds which inspires some people to create vrchat movies, or even skits. But what about the people who don't have many friends or helpers? What about the people who wanna record ambitious ideas using vrchat avatars for a film but lack the people? I'm talking about a feature where when you move around with your avatar you would hit a record button, after you are done, the movements you did will be able to replay or be paused in time while you can switch into other avis placing them in different spots aswell, just like an animation. For example, what if you wanted to record a fight scene or a shootout scene, or anything else using avatars you have and you don't have enough people? You could just record yourself to make these entertaining ideas come to life. Another way to visualize this is how "The Russian Badger" uses Mocap animation being literally every character on screen, this vrchat version would allow people with fbt or not to clone themselves in the world to play every character placed down. As a film director myself and maybe many others, I find it difficult to rely on gathering people and slowly overtime those said volunteers would leave mid recording session which would cause more issues, this feature would be able to save me so much time while also being able to make more action like sequences happen that weren't possible before. An example of this is populating a scene, background characters, main characters, vehicles, etc, and maybe going off this, maybe there can be a feature to add props, or explosions, or particles with it being a feature to the vrc film side instead of having someone in an avatar be those said particles. This feature will also solve the latency issue which happens when doing fight scenes or even timing things in scenes in general. This idea would be beyond using an animation software or even using greenscreen, this is basically like a sandbox to what people can create or record using all existing public avatars. If this feature can be possibly added, I hope you would be able to place down maybe up to 20 or more avatars, maybe even add the feature where your friends can join in and duplicate themselves as well.
