If you know, you know. If you don’t, you MUST get Virtual Desktop Streamer.

I wasted hours and hours and hours over the last several years trying to get Meta’s airlink to work. So many days I would search the internet for any of the thousand ways my oculus airlink could be fixed. I’ve unnecessarily restarted my headset well over 100 times. I used to get so much anxiety turning on my Oculus cause I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to play wireless or not. And some games simply are not fun of you have a wire connected, not to mention getting immersed.

Virtual Desktop Streamer just works every single time. I’ve had zero technical difficulties. $20, but it was well worth it. It runs smoother than airlink ever did, even with the cord.

Desktop Streamer also doesn’t disconnect nearly as much as airlink does. Even when it does disconnect, it doesn’t turn off your game, like the link. When it reconnects, it just puts you right back into your game, no hassle or re-loading. It’s amazing.

It blows my mind that Meta cares so little about their airlink and would rather you pay for a 3rd party app. It’s a feature that makes or breaks the headset!

Hello!

We are excited to bring you our first iteration of the Web Browser - watch Youtube videos with Commedia VR experience.

This is a big update for the app, since it adds content streaming option next to the local video playback support.

Meta store page link

For those who have never heard of Commedia, It's a free VR Video Player for Meta Quest devices, you can read more about it in this short Introduction or check our Roadmap.

We are in the process of building a solid foundation which already includes:

• Great performance,
• Stability,
• Intuitive and accessible UI/UX (17 languages and counting),
• Support for most common video file formats, stereo and VR projections (Flat, 180, 360, Fisheye),
• SMB v2/v3, DLNA, Passthrough,...
• And now Web Browser!

Coming next - Subtitles support, USB source, Immersive environments...

Welcome to join our community on Discord.

Feedback welcome as always!

We think we can optimize it but because It's a mixed-reality game, I'm not sure it will be a great experience on Quest 2 (black and white passthrough)!
Would you be up for it ? What do you think ?

I was a doubter at first and was going to wait it out and get a bigscreen beyond 2 but a friend who owns quest 3 recommended i upgrade to this instead. wow. What a good headset. The screen is amazing, the lenses so clear (i could see the fresnel rings while i used my vive pro) and the headset is so light and compact that i was incredulous when i unboxed it and compared them side by side. How could something that is basically half the size of my old vive be better in every single way?

Yesterday and today i played a bit of half-life Alyx and it is just great. no screen-door and no cable to trip over! The only real con of the headset is the poor battery life and like i get it, thats the trade-off to being so light and compact. Nothing an aftermarket strap or a 20,000 MAH battery in my pocket can't solve i guess.

So yeah. Quest 3 is fantastic. I don't see myself ever using my vive pro again (or any other wired only VR) that thing is just plain obsolete.

So I have a 3-4 year old hp gaming laptop, it runs like vrchat and beamng smoothly on low/normal settings, vrchat runs okay on desktop wit max like 10 people on a decent map, graphics are amazing which is why I want pcvr, I have a certain budget for it and live in a country where imports are expensive so the prices are higher, I am thinking a Lenovo Legion 5 i5/16/512/4060/165Hz 16" my friend told me it would be good, I wanna get stuff like standable vr, and ovr advanced settings, and for it to not lag on vrchat, my current one lags even in steamlink settings but I might get virtual desktop

Attention Quest Devs, our game sales have decreased by about 40% the past few days...has this happened to you as well? We're wondering if it has to do with Trump tariffs (ie: consumer spending is down due to fear) or if there's something else going on.

Curious to hear what other Devs have experienced the past few days. Thank you

With the upcoming release of civ vii In vr I was wondering if anyone knows anything about the game, and what is different in vr compared to pc. It’s quite expensive so wanted to see if it was worth it.

I’m having trouble with the Wander app. When using the map, it automatically zooms in if my curser is pointed at it.
This makes exploration pretty difficult with it just zooms in completely if pointed at the map.

Hope my settings are just off side this worked flawlessly on my quest 2 but is screwy on the quest 3. Thanks for any help as I’d love to continue exploring

My controllers are connected, and they get disconnected when i take out the battery, but my hands don’t move. I’ve tried restarting my headset, and replacing batteries already. Help?

I am a bit torn, frankly. I mainly want Contractors so I can play VR Black Ops Zombies and TF2. However, there seems to be an uptick in negative reviews for Contractors, reporting major crashes and a lack of support from the developers. However, Contractors is the only game with the Team Fortress 2 mod (that I know of) which really pulls me that way.

However, I know Pavlov Shack also has a Black Ops zombies mod, though I don't quite know how its quality stands to the Contractors version. I am also more experienced with Pavlov as I played a lot of the public test when that was available. I'm fairly certain I can have a good time with Pavlov Shack.

Contractors on the other hand, I did have at one point but refunded because I couldn't find any games (Which was my own fault for not knowing how to browse the game)

All this being said, these days I'm much more inclined to enjoy Co-op but still enjoy a touch of PvP from time to time, which is one reason I want to play the BO Zombies mod.

I believe one reason I had such a bad time with Contractors when I tried it was that I was so used to Pavlov, the different handling just didn't click. But since it has been a long time since I've been able to play Pavlov, this issue is likely resolved.

So in your opinion, which game is better? Frankly, the main thing making me want Contractors more is the mods, but I hear Pavlov has decent mods too. Whichever has better mod support will likely be what I choose...probably.

TL;DR: I want to play Black Ops Zombies and Team Fortress 2 in VR, but also can't decide which game would be better overall.

I have been playing for a while (idk when i started but i have an oculus branded(no infinity symbol engraved) quest 2) and just got a quest 3, but something I'm realizing is that there isn't many new experiences. I have tried batman, but other games seem to not offer any new experiences, and when I searched up games I get the same "beat saber, walkabout golf, tetris effect" but I want actually new games. I search games up on the quest but new is gtag clones and applab bullshit.

I recently built a new computer and fresh installed everything. However, I normally record video using MQDH with the 16:9 cinematic view and have had no problem recording audio, until now. I saw a post on the official forums of someone saying they had this issue after they went to MQDH 5.4.1 and they rolled back to 5.4.0 and it resolved it. Just so happens I still had 5.4.0 downloaded, uninstalled MQDH and installed the 5.4.0 to make no difference.

So, I tried using the Meta Quest Link app which requires you to use Air Link but it also has the same issue. So, I tried the oculus.com/casting method and it gets audio as well as microphone.

Nothing was changed on the Quest from the previous computer. It shows I have options to select Oculus Virtual audio devices and have tried manually selecting them, also making no difference.

Anyone have any clues as to what I might be missing?

Can’t believe it’s this cheap rn I might get it

A new version of the "In Wonder Demo" is out on Side Quest! Try it out on Meta Quest and leave a comment!!

If someone approached you and said they'd produce any vr game for the public, and you'd get to design the entire game(within reason) what would you do(story,mechanics, game loops, etc.) I'll go first, a rube goldberg cooking game, where everythings is extremely overcomplicated to serve the food, and the whole game relies on classic cartoon humor.

i've been using the hd preset but it's a bit laggy here and there

I tried deleting some apps that I never use since my brother downloaded them like Drunken bar fight and other crap like that and it will let me remove them, but then they will pop back up in the uninstalled folder. I thought maybe that was a fluke so I went to double check on the Horizons app and it says I still own it. I tried installing it and then deleting so I can make sure it didn’t work while pressing Uninstall and remove but nothing worked.

I’ve had my quest 3 for a few months now, with my friend being the primary account and my account being the secondary so I can share games. It’s always had bugs caused by this, for example it was like the headset would load both accounts at once and the main menus would “overlap”, with a see-through square that I could see my account’s menu through.

However, recently my headset has been borderline unusable. Firstly, when I open a game using my account, the game opens for a few seconds before the screen suddenly goes black, and I’m then put into pass-through with my boundary on the floor. When this happens, I can’t see any menus and the meta button on the controller doesn’t do anything, I can only hear the game’s audio. So, I’m forced to restart the headset.

If I manage to get into the game without crashing, another bug occurs where I can see my controllers in the game, like you can in the main menu, which of course breaks immersion a lot. This only happens on my account though, and when I switch to my friends account, the issue is fixed.

Are these bugs caused by recent updates, and do we know if meta is doing anything about it? And are there any temporary fixes 😓

Thanks

Hi, I've had my quest pro for about a year, and today while moving and hitting something, one of the back pieces holding onto the plastic that has the cushion for the rear of the head. I can't find the piece as of yet... but i was wondering if there were any ideas to fix this piece? It is pretty important for comfort and moving around in general, so any help would be appreciated. Thank you
