¶ Camera (PC)
Category: 🎨 Visual
¶ Description
(Desktop/PCVR only) A virtual camera you can place in the world to drive the Desktop Camera view. Bind to an F-key to switch to it instantly, or trigger via jolt.
Place this camera anywhere to define a viewpoint for the Desktop Camera (the on-screen view broadcast or recorded outside VR). Each camera is auto-assigned an F-key shortcut (F1, F2, ...) to switch between them, and the active camera can be transitioned to via the 'Call Desktop Camera' jolt input. Optionally lock the camera to a player (head and/or controllers) to follow them. While the camera is active and Shift is held, the 0-9 keys set its transition duration in seconds.
