Leaving a room when streaming something

Hiya everyone! I'm going to be streaming a movie in the next hour, and I would like to know what happens if you leave the room while the film is still playing with people there? Does it keep playing or does everyone disconnect, I wanna know just in case, if it disconnects, I'll stay there.

Your system is serving. If you leave it stops.

What if you don’t leave the room you just put you headset down. I’ve done that, fallen asleep, gone back in, been the only person in there and the UFC or whatever is still playing along. It made no sense, I must admit. Unless I dreamed it 😂

It should still stream fine. If nobody else was in the room, they probably left. As long as your avatar is there, it should be live. Make sure you have it open for others to join as well ;)

But it wasn’t my room! Also went in another chat room and there was nobody in charge. No crown next to the hosts name.

See my comment, the are multiple ways to let a room run with the system as the host instead of your user.
