I'm going to have a party with multiple headsets running, each with a stream so people can view, and I can easily help new players.

I used to be able to begin a stream from the Quest app by clicking cast and selecting the device- Chromecast in my case. Once the connection was established, my phone was no longer necessary.

Easy.

Now. As far as I know, I can either:

  1. Stream to my phone and cast a mirror. I hate that, because private phone stuff, I can't turn off my phone, or use it for phone stuff.
  2. Stream to a PC: Make the request from the headset. Access the headset from a browser. Connect that to a TV.

Option 2 would be fine, except neither option has been stable for me. There is almost always a disconnection within 30 minutes.

Is there a better option? A way to increase stability?

Thanks!

I have had problems with casting from the headset for months now, if not longer. I would love to know if there’s an alternative that works better.

Used to work pretty well. Now it's a mess. I don't understand why they would make it so much worse.
