Voice control in the VR hub


Voice control in the VR hub. You can run the whole hub by voice: hold the A or X button on either controller, say a command, let go. A small plaque shows what was heard and what happened. The hub understands the language it is set to (🌐 Language in the top row) — and English words work in every language. The microphone is allowed once outside VR: on the invitation page press Voice control: allow the microphone once and confirm in the browser; the same button switches voice control off again. Nothing is recorded or stored: the short snippet is turned into text on our own server and discarded.

Tips. Speak one command at a time, in a normal voice; two or three words are recognised better than a single short word — say next clip rather than next. If the hub did not catch it, the plaque says so and you simply try again. Creator names work for creators currently on screen (Discover, Shop, Live); anything else becomes a search in the Shop. Voice control needs a signed-in account for tips and purchases, like the buttons do.
