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!
