Get outta here with that ip grabbing ahh link
@@japanramen7295 Bro what? 🤣 It's a website I've built from scratch to help the VR community find deals and discounts. It doesn't collect anything 🤣 you trippin'
@@VRManCave wait until till he finds out every website uses your IP
Users should leave “Automatically adjust bitrate” CHECKED btw, in fact stick to defaults for everything to avoid issues..
Whoa, the man himself, it’s an honour to have you here Guy! 😄 Regarding the settings, I’ve personally tried with it both on and off and the framerate is very similar, yet with it set to on the quality suffers dramatically, but yeah I guess it can differ from case to case.
Omg! The real one!!
@@VRManCavei already have my pc connected with the router but is it ok if my vr headset is connected wirelessly with the router?
@@HypeRay9yes! Thats what I just did yesterday
Funny when the developer says somthing like this even auto bitrate is the worst way to go in VR and you shut know this
Somehow convinced my mom to get me the quest 2 for Christmas so I gotta stock up on stuff I’ve got to know so thanks for this you’ve earned my sub
You’re super welcome mate thanks so much for watching and subbing! I’m releasing a new vid in about two hours about some great black friday discounts on games and accessories so maybe check that out! Cheers!
Lmao I got that no pc tho 😭
thank you i had just got it today and I was struggling. but thanks to you i was able to Compleat the setup. thank you
You are just incredible. It's so rare to find these quick and to the point videos.
Hahaha thanks man! And yeah I know right? That's exactly why I tried to keep it quick and on topic, cause especially for tutorials, nobody's really clicking to hear you talk about random things, people just want the answers in a quick and easy to follow way. Have a great day mate!
@@VRManCave just got my quest, thank you so much dude
@@relaxxed_ you’re super welcome, hope you’ve been enjoying it. Sorry for replying after 6 months 🤣, UA-cam is weird with comment notifications sometimes 😄
@VRManCave do you have to have the oculus app?
you're a big help, thank you for being so helpful
You’re welcome mate, thanks so much for watching! 🙏🏻
you fixed my problem I am extremely happy. tysm
Christ, I love how straightforward this video is. I have a gaming laptop, if I connect it to my router and leave it in that room should I be good to play quest in another room with virtual desktop?
Thank you very much and glad you liked it! If your laptop is connected via wire, then consider that part ok, and I would say that it matters more where you are positioned versus the router and the signal that the Quest is receiving ✌️
Thanks for sending me here. Didn’t have to do all those extra steps. Great video and straight to the point. I subbed!!!
Thanks mate, really appreciate it, welcome to the club! 😄 If you have any questions, let me know, I’m happy to help!

Cheers Dude! Thanks for watching!
Hey great video, very helpful and straightforward but I just have one question. How do you connect your headset to a router? Do you need an external adapter in order to plug it into what would usually be the Quests’ charging port? If so, wouldn’t that make it non-wireless?
Thanks so much, glad you've enjoyed it! You don't need to connect your Quest to your router via wire, just your PC needs to be wired to the router, the Quest can be connected via Wi-Fi only.
@@VRManCave does this mean if my computer does not have Bluetooth I can use this?
Thanks! Any chance you could do a tutorial for us Quest 2 users on how to get Valheim VR working through Virtual Desktop? Or is using a link cable, along with both Virtual Desktop and Steam VR all running together the only sure way to get games like that to recognize you as a VR headset?
You’re welcome! Yeah so for Valheim or any other VR title the process is the same whether you’re using a PC wired headset like the Valve Index, or a Quest/Quest 2 with an Oculus Link cable or Virtual Desktop. It should work the exact same no matter what method of transmitting data, wired through Link or wireless through Virtual Desktop. Hope that helps!
@@VRManCave No, sadly I only got Steam to briefly detect my headset despite having both the link cable active and Oculus app recognizing the connection. I ALMOST got into Valheim VR, when I loaded it up? I saw gloves in the foreground and virtual environment surrounding me on all sides, but then something failed, and despite re-starting the devices and my pc multiple times, i haven't been able to get SteamVR to detect my Quest 2 every since.
Any suggestions? Please I could really use any help if not a tutorial on getting into Valheim!
@@AnotherCoyote Do you have the Valheim VR mod installed? Because the game does not natively support VR, so you need this: www.nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/847
@@VRManCave Thanks for the replies, also I SOLVED the problem! I had to connect the cable and go into SteamVR's virtual mountain top room (with the plushies and companion cube in the cubbies?) and from there select my virtual desktop from the big screen theatre there and go into my PC and play Valheim through steam that way, and instead of saying 'no headset detected', the SteamVR mini window shows a headset and controllers icons in it.
Valheim is still buggy and I cannot clearly read the text in the graphics settings at all, but the game works! I still am forced to restart it once and a while to fix movement issues, but otherwise, I'M IN!! :)
Valheim is now THE BEST VR GAME! Unless someone has made a decent 6DOF Fallout 4 VR walking, ducking, and running experience with Kat walk S loco or vive trackers, then it will be one of TWO best VR games of all time!
@@AnotherCoyote I'm so happy to hear that you got it working mate, that's fantastic, even if you had to fiddle with it a lot, at least you got there in the end. Enjoy Valheim my man! 😄
thanks, very helpfull
Great tutorial! I LOLed so hard when you put that potato and UMF picture for their grades xD
Hahaha thanks so much for watching, glad you've enjoyed it!
They just added HEVC 10-bit support which is objectively better than H.264 with better image quality and lower latency
Super clear & to the point video!
My use case is using PC + windowed apps on multiple (virtual) screens.
Since I would be mostly sitting and using it, I'd not mind a more stable wired connection to my PC / GPU.
Does VirtualDesktop have wired access support or is it wireless ONLY?
If it is ONLY wireless connectivity-
Could you recommend any other Desktop projecting app for Quest 2 which will work wired (link cabled Headset to PC)?
Thanks so much man, really appreciate it! Regarding your question, you can either use the Rift/SteamVR version of Virtual Desktop to use it wired. Alternatively, if you connect your Quest using the Link cable(or a third party one), then you can just launch, resize and reposition desktop windows for free using Oculus Home(which is already installed), although with this method you need the actual physical monitors too, unless there's a way to set up virtual monitors in Windows directly. When you connect the cable you should see a prompt in your headset saying Oculus Link is Available. Just click on that and it should open up Oculus Home, where you'll see a menu bar at the bottom, which you can use to access your desktop monitors.
Im gonna try this hope it works
u sAVED ME I NEEDED THIS IT WAS SO LAGGY WITH WIRLESS LINK THANK YOU IT FINAALY WORKS
Haha you're extremely welcome man, enjoy it!
This may be a little late for the party, but if you do set your PC up like this, do you have to plug the Ethernet directly into the router or could you possibly use a wall Ethernet outlet to get the same effect?
Not late at all. Ideally you would have it plugged into your router yes. It might work with an ethernet wall adapter but you will likely experience fluctuations based on the wiring in your house, so if someone were to turn on a dishwasher or washing machine, you’ll most likely get latency and stutters.
Do you recommend Virtual Desktop for VR through Shadow on my laptop? I have 50mbps 5ghz wifi on my laptop, but my Quest 2 connects to my 2.4ghz WiFi automatically I believe. I also can't split my WiFi bands.. what do you think? Love the videos, you got a new subscriber!
Thank you very much Diego! 🥰
If you're talking about Shadow as in the Desktop streaming PC I think that it won't work ok, because you have too many components adding in latency, which for VR would translate most likely into motion sickness. However, I know they're working on something, where a client for VR exists, which you install directly as an app on your Quest, but as far as I know it's still in the works
Regarding the Quest and 2.4 GHz, here's an idea: maybe MAC ban the Quest on the 2.4 network from the router, so you force it on 5 GHZ?
I had a similar issue. I’m no IT genius so will explain in layman’s terms based on my experience:
I was running a modem/router combo & wasn’t getting great signal upstairs. Considering there were around 22 devices connecting, figured an upstairs extender would be helpful. It split the device connections (same network) which helped signal strength, minus my work computer that I use upstairs. It kept connecting to the downstairs modem/router so signal was weak.
Problem was I too could not split the 2.4ghz & 5ghz signal so got a separate router. The new router let me establish separate networks so connected my work computer & my kids’ gaming laptops to run on the 5ghz network. Problem solved.
Bottom line, look into getting a router with the ability to create a separate 5ghz network & I think you’ll be good to go. I use a Netgear Nighthawk which recently dropped in price with Best Buy from $120+ to like $71. Might be a little older tech now but works fine for me lol. Plus the app lets me manage & pause signal to devices which comes in handy if I’ve gotta get my kids’ attention. I’m going to see if it’s stable enough to run virtual desktop. It should be ok but will test now that I’ve seen this vid!
@@jrichr01 wow thanks so much for sharing that man, and yeah splitting networks is essential for ensuring a stable connection, otherwise devices will switch dynamically between 2.4 and 5ghz which is definitely not ideal for wireless VR. Cheers mate!
@@VRManCave sure thing! Appreciate your quick & concise videos. I don’t subscribe to anything but def had to to your channel. Keep up the great work!
-Rich
@@jrichr01 Thanks so much man, that really means a lot to me and I appreciate your support! 🙏🏻
This is awesome, I plan to try train sim world when my Quest comes in
So you can use it with a cable right
I need this for fingertracking and also to ise my rift as body trackers(thats why I cant use the oculus runtime for my quest)
I'm likely being dumb here... but do the VR games actually play in full 360° mode? I did watch your old video as well as this one, and both times you've shown a flat panel then this kind of curved one. Would be nice to know if when you boot up the game it actually works as a full vr game?
Hi Josh! In the previous video I was just showing that you can also play non-VR games on a huge cinema screen, but native VR games as well as games that have both VR and non-VR modes will run in full 360 just as any native VR game that you've played before. Virtual Desktop simply transmits the data to and from your Quest 2 wirelessly, but otherwise it behaves exactly as if you had your headset connected to your PC via an Oculus Link cable. Hope that helps!
@@VRManCave it does help, thank you!
@@Josh-pm9xf you’re welcome mate! ✌🏻
So this means i can look po.rn with my pc and stream it to my Quest 2 in better Graphic? The Graphic with Quest Browser is not Really good? Thank you
Well, I'm not gonna say I've tried that, but if I did, the quality would be the exact same 🤣. The issue isn't the Quest itself, but rather the quality of the source itself, which is fairly low resolution. If you want your movies(adult or otherwise) to look better, you'll most likely need to download higher resolution versions locally, or maybe find a streaming service that offers higher quality than the well known free ones out there. Cheers!
@@VRManCave i love how you toom it seriusly
Thank you, thank you!! I am rather new to all of this, so I very much appreciate you speaking as I understand it. Lol great tutorial!!
You're super welcome Eileen, thanks for watching! ❤
After 2 yers this tutorial is stil relevant ..
Thanks for this good vid…💪✌️
It absolutely is, yes, thanks so much for watching and you're super welcome! ♥️
Welcome mate …works seamless…even on my provider router without special game router ….mich more immerrsive without cabel
Oh wow! Never knew how bad I needed this.
Thanks for the help!
You’re welcome mate! And yeah Virtual Desktop is a game changer. Hopefully Air Link will catch up in terms of performance one day, but for now VD + a power bank is the way to go for hours and hours of wireless PCVR. Thanks for watching!
Thank you! I'm on the part at 2:25 and it's going well! Just gotta get to 80% and I shall continue!
You're very welcome! Let me know if you need any help and thanks for watching!
Thanks a bunch big guy 👍
Thanks man, appreciate it and glad to hear you've enjoyed the vid!
Amazing stuff man, you just got a new sub
Thanks so much man, appreciate the support and super glad to hear you found the video useful!
I am surprised at how well this works on the Quest 3. I use my headset around 20-25 ft away from my router and computer and my latency is around 20-30ms and the picture quality is really good. I just wish the Quest 3 didn't have such a horrendous battery life even with the battery strap.
I don't have the Oculus app installed on my computer so I don't know how well those games work but I buy all my games through steam or other store fronts anyway so I see no reason to bother installing the Oculus app.
Yeah it really does work awesome! I personally prefer Airlink nowadays because I can bump up the bitrate way higher than on VD, but both work and look very nice.
@@VRManCaveis airlink better than virtual desktop now? I have a quest 2 and want to know the best solution.
Please advise :)
@@hammerhog22 sorry for the very late reply, UA-cam doesn’t notify me of replies to existing comments, stupid bug.. anyway, AirLink definirely works way better now than it did when I made this video, but Virtual Desktop still has a big advantage when it comes to flexibility, changing settings on the Fly, better desktop environments and other things. If we’re just talking about VR gaming, I’d say they are somewhat on par. VD had the AV1 codec which is great, but on Airlink you can push the bitrate much higher and get better clarity provided you have a decent router.
@@VRManCavethank you for your time to go back and look at my comment and answer
Pro tip: If you get an error message when installing the Streamer App onto your PC from the setup you downloaded, try making sure you have Windows up to date. That's one problem I encountered!
Great tip, thanks so much for taking the time to leave this comment, appreciate it! ♥
i love you bro thank you
Great tutorial! Also as a scroll further through these comments, I see how your replies are just so kind! You are such a nice person! You just earned yourself a sub!
Thank you so much, and yeah I’m always nice and try to reply to as many comments as possible, cause realistically without you, there would be no channel. Have a great day and cheers for the sub! ❤️
@@VRManCave 😁exactly my point!
This video worked great, I was able to get the desktop working perfectly, but when I launch games, they stay in the desktop mode, meaning if you were to just take your headset off and stare at your monitor. I’ve looked up a million things on how to fix this, but nothing has helped. Has anyone else had this issue and does anyone know how to fix it
Glad to hear the video was helpful, thanks for watching! Regarding your issue, if you're trying to play games that have both VR and non-VR modes, then most likely you will need to go into the game settings and set the rendering mode to Oculus/SteamVR. Another thing you can try is to start the games from the Virtual Desktop menu instead of directly from your Desktop or Steam, that should launch them into VR mode directly. Let me know if that helps and we can continue troubleshooting if it doesn't. Cheers!
@@VRManCave I tried to start the games from the virtual desktop menu through the games section, but I still had the same issue. As for non-VR mode, I'm just trying to play beat saber and blade and sorcery, so that isn't an issue. I'm going to try air link first, I'll let you know if it works.
having the same issue. if you fixed it how did you?
I forgot to come back, I ended up just using air link- it works, though it lags a bit sometimes
You know what's funny I used my mobile hotspot on my phone to connect my gaming laptop and my quest 2 with virtual desktop. Haven't experienced any stutters at all enjoying things so far
Hmmm, that's a very interesting use case Dr Sketch 🤔
Mainly you're using your phone as a bridge to the laptop, but i would have thought to have _some_ drops.
Wireless adapters in phones are good, but i wouldn't expect to route such a high volume of packets on the internal chips.
Side question: how do you have your laptop going out to internet? Wired or wirelessly through the phone?
Let me know if this is a good option in the long run! ✌️
thank you for doing this great video! When trying to figure out the magic balance, which do you reccomend going up on first? The FPS or the VR bitrate?
Thank you!
Thanks for watching! I’d say it depends on your motion sickness tolerance level. For me personally I would up the bitrate until it looks decent, then if there’s still headroom start increasing the fps. But if you get motion sick easily, then increase framerate first as it will help with that.
@@VRManCave thank you !
I actually love you sir I have been waiting two years and countries to tourist in will do anything for you you are amazing love you
Haha thanks so much man, you're the amazing one for the support and kind words! Love you too! 😁❤
@VRManCave do you have to have the Meta Quest app?
So this means I can play DOOM Eternal VR on my quest and blade and sourcery? I never knew that so you have a new subscriber 😊
Well, yeah, you can basically play any PC VR game wirelessly on your Quest without needing an Oculus Link cable, but you will still need a PC to do all the processing.
thanks, had a blast on roblox vr
I'm super happy to hear that. I've never actually tried Roblox, in VR or otherwise. Maybe you can give me a tour sometime 😄
everything was working fine until the next day the steamvr application when i launch virtual desktop says “oculus is not connected” so any idea on how to fix it? would appreciate it alot
thx!
You’re welcome Lucien, cheers!
Sweet. Wonder if it'll be useful for me anytime soon?! 🤔
I certainly hope so! ✌
awesome video but i have a question, do you need to have the oculus app for pc because i can't run games on there because it says my graphics card in not compatible so would i still be able to play games without using the oculus pc app or is it required?
Thanks so much man! Yes you do need the Oculus PC app, as that has all the drivers and runtime to be able to use the Quest 2 on PC. Your graphics card still needs to meet the minimum requirements for VR games regardless of if you go wired/wireless, as your PC is processing everything, so it's the same as with any other flat game, if you can't run it at a decent FPS, nothing will really fix that 100%.
I only have my hot-spot through phone if I buy the link cable for quest 2 will it help with potential quality issues without buying WiFi?
Hi! Thank you for sharing, Can Quill app work with Virtual Desktop? or its for only streaming videos and games? Thanks!
From what I see on their website the app has been discontinued, but yes, anything that works on your PC will work with Virtual Desktop, VR or flat.
Cool!
Cheers, thanks for watching!
thanks bro.
Cheers!
When i load pop one via VD it loads 2d on my computer but does not transfer to headset, any idea?
Try double clicking the menu button, that should switch you over to VR mode in VD.
Hey! Great video man one question though do I have to buy the games I already have again or does it automatically go in the virtual desktop
Hey Michael! So the game need to be VR games. It does work with flat games too, but you'll just see a huge screen and not a 360 VR experience like normal VR games. Some of the Quest 2 games are cross-buy, meaning that if you have the Quest 2 version, you get the PC VR version too for free. For native PC VR games like, let's say, Half Life Alyx, you will need to purchase it on Steam.
@@VRManCave thanks so much 👍
Ima save this for when I get VD
Awesome! And feel free to ask me if you have any questions then!
@@VRManCave wii do! 👍
I just got the Quest 2, I had the Rift S but wanted to wireless option, is it going to be just as good or better than the rift s?
I'd say it should be better. I haven't tested the Rift S myself, but on paper, the Quest 2 is higher resolution and higher framerate.
we have the same wallpaper on our phones, freaked me out for a sec haha
Hahaha, that's so cool, but to be fair it's an awesome wallpaper 😄
Congrats for the great video. Does anyone know if there's a way to connect the Quest 2 to the pc without using a router or even without needing to be connected to the internet? My router is far from the PC and I can't find a solution for that
Thanks so much Roni! You don’t need internet for Virtual Desktop, but networking is tricky and latency is a VR killer. You could try broadcasting a separate wi-fi network from your PC and connecting to that, but since the PC isn’t wired, you might still experience stutters, but it’s worth a try.
VD is super worth it. Even if your PC is nothing to write home about...
100% mate, it's game changing.
do you have to be close to your pc in order for the virtual desktop to work?
i dont understand the whole connect router to pc and stuff like that so can i just play how it is?
Cheers for the tutorial! 👍
No worries, cheers! ✌
how do i connect my headset to the oculus app on the shadow pc? i want to access my recordings on it
plugging the headset in doesn't seem to work and it technically isn't on the same network for airlink
Do you know if distance from computer plays a big factor? My room isn’t big enough for me to play most vr games since my bed is large so I go to my living room which I’d say is about 20-30 feet away. Also my router is an Xfinity Xfi and idk if I can find a ethernet cable for it.
It's a tricky question. It shouldn't be a big issue though if your computer is connected directly to the router via wire, but it depends a lot on this like how thick/what material your walls are made of. 20-30 feet is not that much, so I doubt you'll have issues if the computer is wired to internet.
link cable return to sender , ty sir :)
Haha you’re welcome man, enjoy! 😄
Thanks for the video. The Oculus app is not require though.
That's correct, it's not required anymore, but it was when I made the video. Now you can just use VDXR as the runtime and it'll work without it.
@@VRManCave Thanks for the speedy response. I'm still using SteamVR and it's working pretty well. Is VDXR better?
This comment is a bit late after the fact but i travel with my quest and i want to use pcvr wireless while somewhere elss in the world. So can i do that with VD or does it need to be on the same network?
I discovered, that rtx 3050(my graphic card) is not working good with oculus link (the only rtx that doesn't work properly). However, it can work with virtual desktop right? I wanna know before buying it.
I have virtual desktop on Steam can i use hand tracking on my Oculus with this on pc?
hey, i was just wondering if you could use VD without a graphics card (only for virtual enviroment)
Well, not really... Your GPU is used to render the environment, so if you don't have one, doubt the integrated one would work properly.
Do I need a powerful laptop or computer do make this run smoothly?
Useful video thanks! Any idea why, when I'm in Virtual Destop via my headset, each button in the VD menu just brings up the virtual keyboard so I cannot access the menu items?
Thanks so much for watching! Not sure why that keeps happening to you, maybe try reinstalling Virtual Desktop?
@@VRManCave Thank you for the quick response. I wasn't using the trigger. Duh!!
I didnt realy understand, can I use this app to play games on pc, because for some reason I cant use the oculus app to Connect to my pc so can I use this to play on my pc without connectiong to the oculus app?
So this was a huge help but im still getting a lot of flickers and lag when im trying to play blades and sorcery like itll be ok until i go to move at all
It may be due to Wi-Fi signal strength or congestion(having to many devices on the same network. If when you play connected via wire there are no stutterd or lag and it’s only when you go wireless, then your best bet is a dedicated router used strictly for VR. It doesn’t need to be anything too fancy, I paid about 60 bucks on Amazon for mine and it works great.
@@VRManCave thank man this helps a lot 🤘🤘
i subbed for the wink
Hahaha, thanks Wesley, welcome to the club and have a great day! 😉
if i buy this, can i play re 4 vr on the headset while i have music from my pc streamed into the headset?
RE 4 is only available on native Quest, and not PC VR, so sadly the answer is no, since you can only either run native Quest, or Rift mode, not both in parallel.
My Pc and quest are connected to the same connections its just that my pc is ethernet and my quest is wifi but it says its not on the same conection on virtual desktop.
thanks for the video very nice. I have population one installed on both the headset and on the PC. I also have call of duty. Now call of duty was crappy when using oculus link, jumped all over the place. So I put it on Vd and it worked much much better. However if I try to open Pop 1, it wont open with VD. Pop 1 works with Link but I have to delete VD from my PC... so you see the issue. Any chance you can help? Im using a 2070, loads of RAM, Trident X Plus (RAM upgraded) Quest 3. playing it on the oculus platform - and considering trying it on the Steam platform to see if that works...
Thanks for watching! I'd recommend starting any games directly from the VD menu, that'll guarantee they start in VR mode. If they don't, you can just click Switch to VR in the VD menu. I use both Link, Airlink and VD and never had to delete VD for the others to work, so not sure what to tell you there.
do you need the quest app for gorilla tag mods?
si tengo los juegos piratas,,,, virtual desktop los ve y se los puede ejecutar?
do you have to use link cable or can you use a charger
You don’t need either of these anymore. You used to need a cable for the initial first time setup only, for which you could have used the charging cable that comes with your Quest but now it’s not required anymore.
I have a 8GB ram i3 and amd AMD R(TM) M330 can i run games on it with some good graphics and fps please answer me i am going to buy the quest 2
Hey man! Check my reply from the Q&A video, cheers! 😄
Can you download mods onto virtual desktop games?
can you please tell me why black tiles are on my screen when in steamvr and why are the controllers late when I move them?
PLEASE EXPLAIN!
Hey Teoma, from what you're mentioning it seems that there's a delay between the PC and your Quest. I would suggest you make sure you're running on 5GHz and disconnecting other devices that might over crowd your network. Feel free to check out more Q&A about VD here:
ua-cam.com/video/gejQOh5Ds_o/v-deo.html ✌️
Can I be wired directly to my pc? I’ve tried with a good usb c cable it recognises it but still asks for Wi-Fi on the headset
do i need to have my quest 2 setup with oculus app on pc because when i try to it says my graphics card is incompatible and it won’t pair at all.
i use a laptop if that helps
Yes you do need the Oculus app on your PC, but if your graphics card is not above the minimum requirements for VR, it will simply not work sadly.
I got virtual desktop recently and I checkout out environments but I cant get modern or gaming environments ive looked up what to do and tutorials but I cant find the fix for it it shows up with a ! and a cloud around it how do I get them? Do I have to download something?
Hmm, normally to change the environment it would just download it automatically when you click to select it. Maybe try reinstalling it to see if that fixes the issue?
Will it still work with wireless connection to pc? I have fast 5G internet but I can’t use an Ethernet cable.
It does work with a wireless connection on the PC side but they recommend it being wired to the router since it provides the most reliable connection. It's worth trying on wireless, but maybe test it out a bit with AirLink before paying for Virtual Desktop.
So if I play a steam game does it use the hardware on the quest or the laptop? Im asking because I have an old laptop I'd love to play all my steam games on but it's kinda old and doesn't run very well
I'd love to just run it on my quest 3 to save buying a new laptop
Virtual Desktop is strictly for PCVR, aka all the games are running on your PC/laptop's hardware.
is there a big performance difference between vd and air link that makes it worth the price this is the 2nd new tutorial i watched in the space of a week and no one mentions air link from the youtuber
Hey Steve, there are certainly videos on Air Link made by other people out there, but we haven't made a clip about it _yet_ . We tested it out when it came out a few months back, but we hit some performance issues but with no patterns or symptoms. Mainly we got black bars from time to time, but not all the time, and we decided just to let the technology fine tune a bit, because it was just released. In the meantime we haven't got back to it, and being Virtual Desktop users from before, we tend to rely on what we know as humans✌
I brought VD a couple of years back. I think it's a superior product vs airlink. VD also allows you to stream and cast to TV at the same time, not to mention misc benefits.
Try airlink, if it's working to your taste then stick with it!
Having much more user base makes it a better viable product for this purpose. The Oculus free one has been around for too little time for the time being
THANKS I HAVE BEEN CRYJNG IN MY ROOM BECAUSE I COULDNT DO IT BUT NOW IT WORKS BECAUSE OF YOU
I’m super happy to hear that you got it working, that’s awesome!
