Teamspeak 3 overlay in VR

[FTC_Mephisto]

Any good solutions to display Teamspeak or Discord overlays in VR? Ideally just the names and highlight who speaks right now somewhere on the screen or cockpit. SteamVR for Valve Index. Any hints are much appreciated!

I had to run both applications as administrator to get the overlays to show on my monitor. I imagine that it's the same requirement for VR.

OVRdrop, available on steam.

I don't think that there is a direct plugin for TS.

Thanks. I suspected that additional software would be needed. Can you set-up everything in a way that the overlay remains in VR and you dont need to grab and move the window everytime the game is started? This is the approach it seems outlined in various youtube video. Also I guess purchasing the OVRdrop software is a must? No demo versions / freeware to try it out? Would be stupid if it doesn't work at the end...

That is not related. For VR you need an app to render itself in the game's worldspace.

I use OVR Toolkit for overlays.

Thanks. Any impact on performance from the OVR Toolkit?

I was streaming simultaneously and noticed a few more drops below 90. So yes, how much I'm unsure.
