Detailed Description

Livestreaming to Facebook is a great way to increase visibility of your application to people that might not have a VR Headset.

We provide both a push and a pull API for Livestreaming status changes.

You can call ovr_Livestreaming_GetStatus() to retrieve the current livestreaming status.

You can register for the ovrMessage_Notification_Livestreaming_StatusChange notification to be alerted when the user starts or stops an active livestream.

Potentially your application has content that don't make sense to livestream publicly. For example: a pin entry screen or a sensitive social interaction.
You can toggle the livestreaming state (INCLUDING audio) using ovr_Livestreaming_PauseStream() and ovr_Livestreaming_ResumeStream().
NOTE both of these methods are safe to call when no livestream is active.

If want to disable (or re-enable) livestreaming for your application, you can visit the developer dashboard:
