Copy the URL

Once the stream starts you get a URL just for that screen. No complicated streaming settings.

03
Paste the URL▶

Paste it in a world and watch

Paste the URL into a supported VRChat video player. Your screen shows up in VRChat right away.

New here? What to set up on the VRChat side

Viewers need to turn on "Allow Untrusted URLs" in VRChat. We recommend a player that supports AVPro in Stream mode; turning on the player's "Low Latency" mode reduces the delay further. These are world-side settings. If a world restricts playback to its own allowlist of domains, ask the world author to add tv.choicast.com.

ABOUT LATENCY

What to do about latency in VRChat

Even when the preview in your browser looks almost instant, expect about 1 second of delay in a VRChat player (about 2–3 seconds on Quest). Here is why, and what to do when the delay grows.

The preview and VRChat take different routes

The preview on this page simply shows the captured screen right where it is. The video played in VRChat arrives only after passing through this route.

  1. Your browser captures the screen you selected
  2. It sends the video to the streaming server over the internet
  3. The server delivers it in a form VRChat can play
  4. The VRChat video player receives and plays the video

In a test streaming from Tokyo to a VRChat player on PC, the delay was about one second. It varies with your connection, world and player.

Why can there be a delay even in a nearby world?

Video reaches each viewer from the choicast streaming server, separately from the world’s region setting. Your connection and video player can cause delays even in a nearby world.

Use an AVPro player for live streams

Use an AVPro-compatible video player in Stream mode for live streams. Other types of players may not play live streams or may fall further behind. Even compatible players can have different delays depending on the connection and audio.

VRChat’s official Video Players documentation

When the delay grows

  • Right after pasting, give it about 30 seconds to settle. Delay and stutter at the start usually smooth out on their own.
  • Check that the world's player supports AVPro. Supported players are listed under "Can I watch in any world?" in the FAQ.
  • If it stays far past the usual delay, paste the same URL into the player again to restart from the live edge.
  • Do not paste the same URL over and over. VRChat limits video URL loads to once every five seconds per person.
  • If your connection is unstable, try a wired connection or a steadier Wi-Fi network and compare.
  • If the delay only grows when audio is on, audio/video sync may be involved. Compare against a share with tab audio turned off.

Delays can have several causes, including a busy connection or the player’s current state. Try the steps above one at a time.

A FEW LITTLE ANSWERS

Frequently asked questions

Q.Is it really free?

We plan to keep the features currently available free to use. We may review the features offered or pricing depending on usage and the resources needed to run the service. We are also considering paid plans for longer streams and higher video quality. Details and availability have not yet been decided. Sign in with Discord to stream. Each stream lasts 15 minutes, with one extension for up to 30 minutes in total.

Q.Can I watch in any world?

It works in worlds with a video player that supports AVPro in Stream mode — ProTV, VideoTXL and Yamadev's async players among them. Some worlds and player settings will not play it. Check "Allow Untrusted URLs" as well.

Q.Can I share audio too?

Yes. What you pick in Chrome's share dialog decides which sound goes out. A "Chrome Tab" with "Also share tab audio" on includes only that tab's sound. A "Window" with its app audio on includes only that app's sound (other windows of the same app are included too). "Entire Screen" with "Also share system audio" on includes every sound on your PC. In the latest Chrome every switch starts out on; turn it off to send video only. The audio options available depend on your browser and OS.

Q.Why does the audio loop, or pick up notification sounds?

You are sharing all of your PC's audio. Sharing the entire screen with audio includes notifications and VRChat's sound, and re-captures the stream playing in VRChat, so the audio loops. To stream audio, share a Chrome tab or a window; for the entire screen, turn audio off. If picking a window shows "Also share system audio", that is your whole PC's sound too, so update Chrome or share a tab.

Q.Why won't my stream play in VRChat after I restart it?

If you started with "Stream with the same URL as last time" selected, press the reload button on the VRChat player to bring the stream back. If you started without selecting it, the URL changes, so share the new URL again.

Q.Does it work on Quest?

Friends on Quest can watch the same URL. Use a world with a supported video player. Expect about 2–3 seconds of delay, varying with the connection and the player.

Q.Is my shared screen stored anywhere?

We do not save stream video or audio for later playback. If you start recording, a recording can be saved in your own browser. Anyone who knows the stream URL can watch, so check that your shared screen contains nothing private. We can't take responsibility for anything that shows up on your shared screen.

Q.Can I record, and where are recordings saved?

Select “Start recording” during a stream to make a video on your device. Once “Saved in this browser” appears after stopping, you can close the page and retrieve it later in the same browser.Use the Recording panel shown during a stream to start, stop and download. Recording files are not uploaded to our servers. Download any recordings you need to keep.
