    Hey, so is it possible to play a game and at the same time have a second window dedicated for, say, YouTube?

    Not with vorpX alone, but at least for SteamVR there are tools that can display a desktop window in VR. Forgot the names unfortunately…

    Dear Ralf, you are absolutely right. In fact, I’ve been using Desktop+ (free tool on Steam) to achieve this. I play SteamVR games such as Eleven table tennis, SkyrimVR etc. while having a second window pop up with my browser so I can watch YT or netflix and everything works flawlessly. Even Oculus games work without any problems.

    It’s only when I start vorpx (in the vorpx config tool I changed back to Steam VR since I use a WMR headset) the second window which I created with Desktop+ for this purpose freezes as soon as I start a game. It’s still there where I put it but unfortunately it’s frozen so it becomes unusable and I have not found a way to make it work with vorpx.
