How to Launch SteamVR Games:
There are two methods:
Method 1: Launch SteamVR from PC
Open Pimax Play and click "Launch SteamVR" on the device page; or select SteamVR in your Steam Library and click "Launch".
Method 2: Launch games within SteamVR
Put on your headset and use the controller's ray to select the game you want to play in SteamVR Home. Press the controller's trigger to confirm, then click the "Launch" button to start the game.
How to Watch VR Videos through Steam:
You can watch VR videos using the built-in Steam video player: open the SteamVR menu → select "Media" → "Video Player", then click "Open File" to select a local video for playback. It supports local 2D/3D/360° videos.
You can also search for and install apps such as "BigScreen Beta" in the Steam Store. After launching, select "Video" → "Local File" to play videos, and you can choose from different virtual cinema environments and screen sizes.
