Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

EASY WIRELESS STREAMING FROM OCULUS QUEST TO TWITCH, YOUTUBE, OBS, ETC.: ✔ Uses standard Oculus Quest casting facilities ✔ Does not require any additional software or hardware on Oculus Quest ✔ Does not impact performance of Oculus Quest any more than casting to a TV ✔ Can deliver full casting quality to streaming provider (network speed permitting) ✔ Supports most RTMP based streaming services: YouTube, Twitch, … ✔ Supports casting to streaming software like OBS Studio, … via RTMP server* ✔ Can stream to multiple targets simultaneously (network speed permitting) ✔ Works well on Android-x86 in VirtualBox (bridge network, allow promiscuous) EASY SETUP: ► Make sure your Android device and your Oculus Quest are on the same WiFi ► Install and open QuestCast app on your Android device (not on Oculus Quest!) ► Add any streaming targets (YouTube, Twitch, custom RTMP target or server, …) ► Click "Start" to turn on casting service and desired outbound stream(s) ► On your Oculus Quest, open the casting menu and cast to "QuestCast" ► Done… Enjoy! ;) A NOTE ON PERFORMANCE: ► It is highly recommended to use QuestCast over a 5GHz WiFi network: ► A typical Oculus Quest video stream creates about 2.5 to 5 Mbps of bandwidth ► This data needs to reliably (!) traverse your WiFi network at least 3 times for a single streaming target: ● Oculus Quest to WiFi router ● Router to QuestCast ● QuestCast to router (for internet) ► Every additional streaming target adds another WiFi trip from QuestCast to the router ► While 15+ Mbps may not sound like much these days, it can still push 2.4GHz WiFi to its limits, especially in congested areas ► To make things worse, the stream from the Quest to the QuestCast app does not provide a way to recover lost packets (uses UDP) ► Such packet loss will therefore lead to unavoidable visual and/or audio disturbances in the stream! * Requires premium upgrade
