SteamOS 0.5.8 Beta for Steam Frame<\/p>\n

Camera Pass Through \/ Room View:<\/p>\n


\nPC Streaming now supports Room View. Previously, enabling Room View would hide remote content.
\n
\nYou can now see remote desktop \/ remote game theater while camera passthrough is active.
\nPC VR games with OpenXR mixed reality support are now able to blend VR content and camera passthrough. (Example: X-Plane 12).

\nNote: this feature requires also opting into the beta branch of SteamVR on PC
To opt into the beta branch of SteamVR on PC, right-click on SteamVR in your Steam library, select Properties, Game Versions & Beta, and choose beta. <\/p>\n

General<\/p>\n


\nOverlay render quality is now always set to Low on Steam Frame, and the option is hidden. This fixes problems that happened when Ultra was selected.
\nImproved eye tracking self-calibration.
\nFixed low-end gamma response, including inconsistencies between eyes, on some headsets.
\nFixed a permission issue that prevented WebXR from working in Chrome v157. <\/p>\n
