I wanted to share a short update with some of the changes and improvements we've made since Spaces launched. Here are some highlights of both the user-facing and under-the-hood improvements we've made that will lay the foundation for bigger updates soon to come

- Avatar Mirror Improvements: It's much easier to select different facial features in the mirror when creating and customizing your avatar.
- Search for Friends: We've added a virtual keyboard and the ability to search for your friends to Invite or Call them. No more paging through friends to find someone manually!
- Messenger: You can now resize your Messenger call and respond quickly to messages with 'Like' so you don't have to take off your headset.
- Experimental Feature - Desktop: Under 'Settings' you'll find a new 'Experimental Features' option. When you turn it on, a new 'Desktop' icon will appear on your tool shelf. Grabbing it will bring your Windows desktop into your space along with a wrist menu option to show it to your friends in your space. We've been using this to develop Spaces in Spaces (meta!) and play games together. We're testing to see if it's a useful way for people to do even more things together in Spaces. Note: If you click 'Show,' anyone in your space can see your desktop, but it will not show up outside of the app in Messenger or selfies.
- Tons of bugfixes, performance, and latency improvements.
We're excited to see what you do with the new updates!! Share your thoughts, ideas, and feedback here so we know how you're using Spaces or what we're missing and can be improved.

At reddit there are also some threads but no solution till now...
Desktop space is not shown (in mirror or in the Live window) only black.
Live broadcasting, can't see it as a saved broadcast after session, did also have some issues starting it.
(I asume Live broadcast is supposed to be available to "2D" phone/tablet users and VR users os Spaces?)
Would like to see;
Custom space setup (selectable from menu) for example diffrent pre designed spaces to select from depending on what you want to do and what audience you want to reach (Studio Broadcasting/Classroom/Gamingroom)
Forexample it would be nice to vhave a studio/broadcasting room (Space) set up with various backdrops/monitors, cameras etc. Then invite a friend and have a live news broadcasting together in that space.. (Like running your own TV channel)
More Tools, like backdrop monitors, tickers, spotlights to build/setup a live broadcasting session.
A Audio(Video) Mixer in the Spaces environment to control your Live broadcasting sessions!
Did have issues getting audio from video (360 & 2D) to LIve broadcasting and to friend sessions, would be nice to control and selecting/mixing audio from Video Clips, Friends & Mic. (And why not also different cameras)
Friends Online, would be nice to indicate who's online with a green circle around avatar/photo! Needed to select friend first to see if he/she was online,,,
Record & Edit Shows / Sessions, review those before making them public (an offline mode instead of Live)
Browse Public Live sessions and recorded ones.
Finally, make some cross platform integrations with other HMD's and an ARKIT viewer ;-)
Great app with possibilities....

A request! Web cam viewer as a tool would be fun!
want to insert camera stream into the VR world!
3 things to be fixed;
Incoming messenger call seems only to go to my mobile phone and not to the Rift headset!
Start picture and color background, make it bigger, if you look on (to) the sides during startup of it you fell I’ll....
Application hangs most of the Times’ when you end it, might be after a session with friend...
/J
Anyone else have this issue? any fixes?
thx
Oh, and the bug report "feature" also has the "please wait" bug... meaning I cannot even report that bug the usual way...
I mean... it would be fun to see all the great stuff available that you guys put in there. But the 5 second loop might be enough it seems... Maybe us lowly mortals aren't ready... because that's all that has been available from a couple of months back.
All I'm saying is that maybe... just maybe... someone could look into this for one of the countless non-descript updates that facebook pushes out?
I don't think it is doing very well is it with only 3/5 Stars. That's not good for Oculus.
