[b]VRChat 2023.3.1, the "Video on Quest" update, is now Live!![/b]
No patchnote video this time!
This update includes [b]video link support for the Meta Quest headset[/b], a highly requested feature that means that links to various video hosts (https://creators.vrchat.com/worlds/udon/video-players/www-whitelist) will work without any additional URL changes required! Simply paste in the video URL and hit Play!
This release is network compatible, so there won't be any confusing errors this time around. 😅
Check out the full patchnotes [url=https://https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/latest-release]here[/url]. A short list of new features follows!
# New Features
- [b]Added video link support to Quest![/b]
- Previously, you'd have to use a direct video link or an external link resolver to get videos from various sites to play on Quest. Not anymore! Video links of all kinds will work.
- We've implemented a link resolver similar to the one we use on PC, so now you can play video on Quest without having a direct video link. You can simply paste in the URL.
- See our [url=https://creators.vrchat.com/worlds/udon/video-players/www-whitelist]Creator docs for our allow-list of services[/url] that work without having to Allow Untrusted URLs.
- [b]You can now purchase yearly VRChat Plus subscriptions on Oculus Quest![/b]
- There will be a new button on the VRChat+ menu yearly subscriptions, with a 16% discount versus subbing monthly.
- ⚠️ Yearly VRChat Plus subscription purchases will not work on the Beta on Oculus Quest.
- [b]We also redesigned the VRC+ homepage in the Main Menu![/b]
- If you're a subscriber, this page will now change to indicate the status of your sub, as well as show VRC+ specific settings.
- [b]New "Avatar World" filter added to search[/b] for when you just need something cool to wear
- [b]Added support for [url=https://github.com/vrchat-community/vrc-oscquery-lib#vrc-oscquery]OSCQuery[/url], which allows for easy OSC setup![/b]
- [b]Applications that implement OSCQuery can _automatically_ find VRChat and configure themselves to send data.[/b] "Legacy" OSC applications should continue to work just fine, but OSCQuery is really cool and you should implement it :))))
- [b]Native support for multiple OSC receivers! [/b]VRChat will automatically find OSCQuery apps which support data it can send, and open up a new port to send that data to each supported receiver.
- You can still configure OSC using [Launch Options](doc:launch-options). However, if you don't, VRChat will automatically find a good UDP port if you turn on OSC at runtime.
- See the [url=https://github.com/vrchat-community/vrc-oscquery-lib/blob/main/Readme.md#-examples]Unity Examples[/url] for more information on setting up an OSCQuery App** to send and receive data.
