- I’m about to completely change how you play VR and convince you to finally ditch that cable!
Everything I will tell you about today is completely true and it is the culmination of what I’ve learned from using Virtual Desktop for over a year now. I was in your shoes at the beginning too but I took a leap of faith and purchased it on the Oculus store, and I don’t regret it at all.
This video is an introduction into a year's worth of testing, and having fun in VR by me in order to figure out what works and what doesn't when trying to play on your Oculus Quest wirelessly.

If you’re watching this video, you probably are trying to use your Oculus headset wirelessly but can’t figure out how. I had the same reaction when I got sick of using the oculus link cable. Well, a good solution to that is using Virtual Desktop. Now some people may be saying, why not just use Airlink? It is in beta and does not work for a lot of people.
So you want to use Virtual Desktop? Well, you made the right choice. It is a stellar program that is worth every penny in my opinion. It is the main way I use my VR headset, especially now since my headset refuses to work with oculus link or airlink. This tutorial will show you where to get Virtual Desktop and how to install it.
For this tutorial you will need:
To have Virtual Desktop purchased on the oculus store, and a solid 5GHZ wifi connection with your headset being wireless and your PC being ethernet connected for optimal performance.
Again, just want to emphasize that you need to purchase Virtual Desktop on the Oculus store and NOT on Steam.
Ok so now go ahead and put on your VR headset. Open up the oculus store and purchase Virtual Desktop. Then install it and open it. You see these instructions right here, well we are basically just going to follow them. Also, make sure to remember what it says your username here is, you will need it in a step I will show you later on.
Ok so go to settings and make sure your screen looks the same as mine. This bitrate down here can change though as it just depends on how good your wifi connection is. Mine is set pretty low. Now go to stream settings, and make sure all of yours are the same as mine. There should only be 2 potential differences. Your quality could be different depending on your graphics card, I have a 3070 so I'm setting mine to the max. My bitrate is also going to be different because again, it's dependent on your wifi and my signal is pretty weak in my room. Alright so now go back on your PC and go to the virtual desktop website.
Ok so download the windows version, mac if you’re on mac obviously. Install it. Now type in that oculus username that I told you to remember from earlier. Make sure you go through the settings and change them to your liking.
Now you can put on your headset and restart Virtual Desktop and open it, make sure the streamer app is still open on your PC. Your PC should automatically connect. Now just start the streaming and you should have a virtual view of your monitor. From here, you can open things like SteamVR games like Beat Saber or just use your desktop normally.
So by now, you should have virtual desktop setup to connect your pc and oculus device. Have a nice day!

Dude…. Thank you sincerely I have a 3060 laptop… I bought the right cord thinking it would be easier, 14 hours chunked out of important times in my life I spent tinkering trying to get it to work, and after following your instructions it took 2 seconds of being in the headset to just be flabbergasted with joy it actually actually works finally it’s just smooth as butter and my router is in the living room I could almost literally cry this was so helpful I can’t even begin but I’ll subscribe omg thank you and thank virtual desktop oculus link got nothing on this

Do yall know of any good games to get that are not already in oculus store
I connect to my glasses without any problem, but the desktop is not reflected and the screen is black
I Wish This Was Free!
I love virtual desktop and have used it on quest 1 & 2 for more than a year but now that you have airlink for free it is difficult to see the reason for buying / using it.
ive had it since before airlink came out. also I mentioned that airlink is extremely buggy and is in beta still. it doesn't even work for me and I'm the tutorial guy lol
Its cause airlink is laggy as FUCK
@@ayyvibin6977 i was bouta say the same thing until i saw ur comment!
Ty airlink didnt work fornme to its black screen whole time
Bro is a vampire 💀
Help? When I download/open VR streamer it doesn’t bring me to the option to input my username. Instead I get the “vive not detected error108” and the vr streamer displays those two horizontal bars which show headset status. I can’t seem to connect my quest to the pc
Same my pc when i try to set up my pc to air link it won't work
I cant play my oculus pc games on desktop vr because it does not show that I am connected to the app any way you know that I can fix that? Please
Do I need to have the oculus pc app to use this or can I just purchase the VD app on pc and quest and be able to run steam vr games?
you don't need the oculus app, but its free so why not?
@@JosephKhateri my pc Oculus app doesn't open so this may be my fix to play pcvr?
What user was it
I have ask how i can connect if i haved gtx nvidia 740
What if we dont have a graphics card?
my pc virtual desktop app looks a lot different
Does it work for a 6 year old laptop?
as of now you have 999 subscribers. so ill be the 1000th.
I LOVE U SO MUCH
@@JosephKhateri 🤗✌️
im having problems my pc disconnects on and off and i cant see my pc screen
All ot says is to plug in your headset what do I do
Do you use Windows 11
Do i need to enable developer mode to do this?
Yes
Can you do this with windows 11
Yes
Do you need a pc because I have a laptop but it’s not the best
it will work as long as your laptop can run the vr games you want at a good fps and you have a solid 5Ghz connection
Thanks bro
you kinda look like Yakumo Oomori lol
