This is neither a bug with Bigscreen, or a feature request. Please use <#7395459...
Technically it is a feature request: No desktop activity from Bigscreen while in VR. (optional on/off if needed) 😉

There isn't any. Bigscreen does not pop up on it's own. I use it all the time, and often have it behind other screens, and have helped multiple other people who had the issue you had, and it is the result of Oculus software, or a setting in Windows forcing it to the front.
Hence why I said this is not a bug with Bigscreen, or something that could be added as a feature.

i'm streaming right now, but i'll show you some screenshots when i'm done, to show you what i mean.
and yes, it DOES pop up on its own.
vapid raven
I don't think you read what I just said.
It happens, but is the result of Oculus software, or Windows forcing Bigscreen to the front, not something Bigscreen is doing itself.
As I just said, I've helped multiple other people with this issue in the past.
quaint summit
that's exactly what i meant.
Oculus does it. but it can be solved by having no desktop splash screen or whatever it's called for Bigscreen.
vapid raven
It's not a splash screen, it's just the Bigscreen app running.
quaint summit
again, i'll show you when i'm done streaming, maybe tomorrow cos its gonna be late today
yeah it is the bigscreen app, again, like i said
vapid raven
And I can show you it not doing that at all, if you'd like.
quaint summit
i can show you it actually is. please, i'm not bullshitting here, i'm actually seeing it happen as we speaek
vapid raven
It's not something the Bigscreen app is doing on its own.
quaint summit
join my room now, i'll show you

Again, as I mentioned before, this is the result of Oculus software, or something else you have running in Windows bringing it to the front.
And this is not the appropriate place for this. I'll repeat again, please use #need-help.
quaint summit
yes. again, it IS the Oculus doing that, but it can be solved through just removing the desktop visuals for the BG app...
i can't email Oculus to remove activating the current app whenever I put my HMD back on, can i
vapid raven
There is no visual thing. If you mean making the app not visible, then you would be losing functionality that a lot of people, including myself, use.
quaint summit
lol ok, nevermind man.
vapid raven
As I mentioned already, I have helped a number of people already with this issue in #need-help.
