Can overlay run in SteamVR Home or steam game?

[TitansWhale]

Thank you for your tutorial.
I have tested the "Tutorial 2: Your first in VR overlay" project and it runs successfully in Hello XR. However, when I open SteamVR Home or VRChat on the Steam platform, the overlay is not displayed. I'm not sure why this is happening.

Hmm neither SteamVR home nor VR Chat use OpenXR.

This project is an OpenXR API layer for OpenXR applications. It will only work with an OpenXR application running.

If you are looking for something that runs into SteamVR regardless of the app (OpenVR or OpenXR), look at IVROverlay. But using that solution will not work for users that don't use SteamVR (eg: OpenXR via native platform support). Hence the existence of this tutorial.
