Permit others to control my stream camera

It would be benefiting to (with permission) allow others to grab and control my stream camera so I can have my friends record me on my own stream without having to do it myself. It would also be good that if at any time I want to revoke that right the camera would drop where they are at and / or allow me to recall it from them at anytime. This would also be beneficial for the other idea I have for multiple cameras where I could have several friends operating other cameras of mine that I could switch between when the time is right. I could have a full camera crew helping out with a stream.

Allow Streamer Camera handoff

Hey there! I'm going to get straight to my point. The Streamer Cam is very difficult to work with when you're filming, as you have to keep track of its settings, other players, and a ton of other variables. It gets even more difficult if you're trying to make cinematics with multiple actors, and even more if you want to be in them. If you want to be in a Streamer Cam shot with your own STR, you need to be either using the follow camera system, which is not very versatile in terms of camera angles, or you need to use a static camera, which obviously removes the ability to really move around in your shot. It gets even more difficult if you want other players to film using the STR, but they are not on PC. This causes issues for me all the time as my only friend on PC is currently unavailable, and I'm on Oculus Quest. My suggestion to resolve these issues is to add a setting or controller button that allows you to make it so other players can pick up and move your STR. You could even have a setting under the STR settings similar to the "voices I can hear" bar in the Audio Settings panel of the watch, where you can have "can handoff STR" with everyone, friends, favorite friends, no-one. You could even have two more options, "whitelist", and "blacklist", both of which let you set either people who CAN handoff, or CAN'T, respectively. Thank you for your time reading this post, and I understand this is a difficult feature to implement, however I feel this would really help content creators in making even more amazing Rec Room content. Thanks!

For clarification, STR stands for StReamer Cam. This acronym can be found on both sides of said Streamer Cam in-game.

I could work. But the recording will not save for the psvr user. Only the pc user

Could there be a list in stream cam settings that only people you add on that list will be able to grab it instead of all of your friends?

Rasp: I like that idea better
