I've spent almost 3000 hours in bigscreen. It once was a great little VR community full of enthusiasts and all kinds of folk, watching movies, 3D movies, playing games, just chatting. It's honestly a good technology. But it's been ruined a lot of late by the VR market maturing, becoming available to loads of kids who obviously scream and ruin things. There's moderation tools but you need a really active host. I hope one day big screen will return to its former glory even though at peak it was never massive, and become great again. I've watched literally hundreds of movies and met some really great people here. It's free, I recommend it.

I remember this being very good, but in 2026 i cant even launch it. steam VR stops functioning all together for a good 30 seconds after launching and bigscreen crashed after that. I tried verifying game files, reinstalling, and a few other things, but this is non functional for me at time of posting.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | My Favorite Way to Hang Out in VR Bigscreen has become one of my favorite VR apps. Being able to host my own private room and watch movies, TV shows, or YouTube with my besties feels like we're all piled onto the same couch, even when we're miles apart. One of the biggest features for me is the ability to **lock my room**. Public VR spaces can be... chaotic. 😅 Kids screaming, people blasting microphones, and random trolls can completely ruin the vibe. With a locked room, it's just me and the people I actually invited. We get to relax, laugh, watch our shows, and enjoy the night without interruptions. The environments are cozy, the social experience feels natural, and it's honestly become one of our favorite ways to spend an evening together. If you're looking for a place to watch content with friends without dealing with the circus that public lobbies can sometimes become, Bigscreen absolutely delivers.
