    Query: Can you run this on a Second PC with the same RaceRoom & Steam account? So you're watching this on the 2nd PC whilst Racing on the 1st PC?
    I've tried this with other Sims but Steam logs you out of one of them when you try to have them both running at the same time, didn't know whether this Starting Command Prompt would change that somehow?

    I'm looking (hoping) for a way to Stream the TV View whilst I'm Driving, idea is the Stream takes the main PC Cockpit View and I us a Webcam to point at the 2nd PC showing the TV Cam. Thanks

    Hi Marc,
    I managed yesterday to do what you want. You just have to create a second steam account and you launch Raceroom in spectator mode from this account . You will be able to stream your race in TV mode.

    Hi mate many thanks, a second account was something I was hoping to avoid but if that's the case I will give it a go, thanks :)

    Ok did a test last night on a Ranked Server, it worked almost perfectly for my needs except for one little annoying issue; I had the Spectate set to my Car in game for Qualifying, when it switched to the Race the Cam changed to another car and I didn't notice this until the end of the race (had VR HMD on so couldn't "check"!). Other than that all was good.

    I have found a recent bug I would like to being to your attention, during a 2 race round while spectating in race 2 the camera glitches itself into scenery and got stuck there and caused all cars to have no front wheels. Please can you look into this, if theres any files you may need to help then let me know

    I'm looking to do this for a project. I'm hoping to be able to run a race with just myself and AI and hopefully spectator mode only showing the rear view of my car? Possible?

    The Broadcast tool works for multiplayer only via a remote server and currently online does not allow ai.

    Hola: estamos intentando abrir el modo Espectador con todas las herramientas para Streaming, encontramos que el navegador NO ABRE NADA, con el error en la pantalla. ¿Alguna sugerencia?

    OK... Good Morning... after wasting a ton of time trying to get the Page One version of spectating widget running, I followed the advice of @thebaz

    But here is the thing...

    This thread is pushing 5 years old and the information is old and the org program does not work. It is a waste of time to have this thread up as a guide to Spectating.... It is an Ex-guide... it has chuffed it's mortal cool.... dropped the perch... bought the farm

    It need to be archived and a new lead post/thread needs to be started. I'll write the thread even.. .but man was last night frustrating, and for no good reason...

    I *KNEW* that a 5 year old guide to a program was not goign to go well....

    plus the instructions themselves could be clearer..... with your permission and ack that you will archive the old thread, I will create a new one... PLEASE...
