Meta Platforms, Inc

Connect your Meta Quest headset to devices with an HDMI or DisplayPort output, including handheld PCs or consoles, laptops, and more.

This app requires third-party hardware—specifically, a UVC and UAC compatible USB capture card and any associated cables. For a high-quality streaming experience, please ensure that the capture card and other USB adapters and cables are rated for USB 3.0 SuperSpeed.

Features

  • Auto launch app when a USB card is detected.
  • Menu setting to control capture video format, frame resolution, and fps for each connected session.
  • The screen is freely resizable, within certain limits.
  • Toggle instant streaming stats by clicking anywhere on the screen.

FAQs

How do I troubleshoot a blank screen? Why can’t I play movies from streaming services? I hear only audio?

  • Capture cards do not display video if the HDMI signal has HDCP protection enabled.
  • Make sure you are using the correct input port if your capture card has multiple HDMI/DisplayPort ports.

How to troubleshoot low video frames rate?

Ensure the instant stats overlay in the streaming screen displays SuperSpeed to confirm USB 3.0 speed, rather than Hi-Speed (USB 2.0 speed).

  • Not all USB-C cables are created equal. Some USB-C cables are rated for USB 2.0 speed.
  • Some USB-C cables operate at USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 depending on the orientation of the connector; flipping the USB-C cable upside down may resolve the low fps issue.
  • Change capture video frame format menu setting to match the fps offered by the capture card.

HDMI link not working after v74 update

My UGREEN Capture card worked fine for weeks with the HDMI link app, but since my headset has automatically updated to v74 Quest 3 it gives me the following error. "Video frame format negotiation error". This is so frustrating, I need this for my work. Please fix this a soon as possible.

Intentionally Unusable

It does technically work, at 15fps 720p, and less than 1fps at 1080p. But that's not because of the technology. the Quest can obviously stream 120fps at 4K for Oculus Link over USB3, and Skybox can stream 4K 60fps wireless, and Virtual Desktop can do 120fps. The only way this ended up so bad had to be Meta intentionally making it unusable to drive more revenue through their in-store content. Greed ruins everything. :-(

Fails after v74 firmware update

With ugreen USB video video capture card it now fails to work with v74 of Quest 3 firmware. You need to set three permissions: Camera Yes, Record Audio Yes, USB No; shows as USB permission denied. This needs to be fixed. This is a problem with v74 not the video capture card as it worked before and is seen by Quest 3

Works well, but...

I got the Hagibis 4k@60fps to 1080p@60fps, just make sure to plug the USB-C the right way, if you are getting 30fps or less, flip the USB-C it only works at 60fps on one side. But if I unplug the capture card and I plug it back, it doesn't work, I have to restart my headset for it to work again, I don't know, also If I want to go back to the resolution list to change it, it can't go back when I select the back arrow, I figured out that swiping the screen left would sometimes take me back go settings, but it feels not solid, please imrprove the UX a little more, thanks.
