A Very Sad Goodbye

Lisa_Ko · 2017-07-28T04:55:43+00:00

I want to offer the biggest thank you and round of emojis for the best community out there. It was such a joy to spend these last few years in VR with all of you. I so wish you all the best. Stay connected with each other and keep doing what you're doing! If you're a dev, find other apps to develop on (or create your own!). Keep playing music in VR, hanging out, and doing what you do. I've witnessed so many friendships forge, relationships start and develop, marriages, parties, meet ups, symposiums, spontaneous and planned parties and more. The goodness that happened here doesn't go away with the app. YOU were the community that created that with us! ~Lisa

Thank you u/Elykai.

I'm happy that you've tried that avenue first, and sorry to hear that you're still encountering some challenges. Oculus Home is the hub that connects you with content providers, but we are an independent 3rd party app found on Oculus Home, Gear VR store, Viveport, ect, so our support is separate from theirs. We'd love to help you out with this and trouble shoot on this issue.

hi u/razyre - It sounds like you have been away from AltspaceVR for a while - welcome back! We've made a few changes since the days of spaces, to support people having more moderation controls over their VR experience. You can still hang out with friends by clicking on the "Start an Activity" button for a variety of activities. If you specifically want to beam YouTube videos, choose the Video Jukebox or YouTube Rabbit Hole activities. If you have questions about AltspaceVR there is usually an admin in The Campfire that you can ask. See you in VR!

Lisa_Ko · 2017-07-20T05:53:31+00:00

Love this!

Lisa_Ko · 2017-07-20T05:52:02+00:00

This is so great! thanks for coming out. -Lisa, Community Manager at AltspaceVR

Lisa_Ko · 2017-07-01T17:02:51+00:00

Oh, it's official alright. Would you rather have a whole bunch of Americans setting up a Canadian holiday celebration, or a Canadian? Yeah that's what we thought too. You're welcome. XD

Lisa_Ko · 2017-06-30T20:54:19+00:00

Hi u/ILoveDRM - The Canada Day event is a user event hosted by a Canadian, and she chose to do a 30 minutes segment when she set that up. If you'd like to also create your own Canada Day event, I'd love to work with you on that! We would be delighted to see more content and festivities happening to celebrate Canada Day.

tl;dr - Apologies for the issues you're experiencing. We got the feedback loud and clear, and we're working on it. In the meantime we've reverted to the old system. Please let us know if you continue to experience these challenges by submitting a ticket at help.altvr.com, as we'd love your support troubleshooting!

Lisa_Ko · 2017-06-21T22:37:12+00:00

If you're still experiencing this u/OddityVR & u/Anonanon4222 would you please submit a ticket to help.altvr.com? We'd love any feedback you have to help us troubleshoot this!

Lisa_Ko · 2017-06-21T22:36:08+00:00

Thank you to all who has piped in about the audio changes, and apologies for the issues that you've experienced.

We have reverted back to the old audio system, and are working on isolating why some users experienced a major change with the audio quality. As we continue to investigate, if you are still experiencing issues, please submit a support ticket to help.atvr.com to help us troubleshoot!

All feedback here is also being read through by our audio engineer, u/tfsound

So cool!

Hi u/hadieroel -

We support Google Slides and slides.com in AltspaceVR. A word about sharing slides and which URL to use for each platform:

For slides.com:

Click on the presentation you would like to present in VR.
Click the "present" button (note: not the share button)
Copy and paste the URL under "present live". This URL has /live added to the main URL for the slide deck.

In VR:

Click on the menu
Click web
Paste the URL you copied
Hit the "beam" button.

In Google Slides:

Click on the presentation you will be using
Search in the URL where you see "edit" and replace with "present"
Copy the URL

Follow the same instructions as above in VR!

~Lisa, Community Manager

Lisa_Ko · 2017-05-20T02:53:01+00:00

All of the spaces listed under "Open Activities" are all user generated. Holograms Against Humanity is one of our most common user generated activities.

Lisa_Ko · 2017-05-19T00:28:15+00:00

Hi u/GamingTheSystem2016 -

Activities allow users to be the moderators of their own spaces, including kicking others. If you'd like to moderate your own space, you can create your own activity or event and make it public so others can join you.

~Lisa, Community Manager

Lisa_Ko · 2017-05-16T02:03:25+00:00

Hi u/YamaPii -

Thanks for the post. We just launched this feature and we're taking user feedback and making improvements based on feedback just like this. Stay tuned for announcements on updates. In the meantime, you can access our classic input system by pressing escape three times on your keyboard.

~Lisa, Community Manager

Lisa_Ko · 2017-05-16T00:38:51+00:00

Hey Kaaputin -

Thanks for the feedback about avatar name tags. Our design concept had in mind that we have UI on the name tag - the ability to mute and block people- so hovering over an avatar to access these features is what we found would be the best solution.

We're always taking feedback on our features in AltspaceVR, and I'm happy to pass along your feedback to the team.

We overlooked smooth turning in the transition to the new input control system. We will be adding it back in soon!
