Complete Guide on How To Stream Quest 2 to Discord

Oculus Stream 2 was launched in the fall of 2020 by Meta. It was an extension of the Oculus headsets family. Ever since its launch, the headsets have seen a constant surge in their popularity.

With Oculus headsets, everything you need is in your little device. You can enjoy many VR experiences in these headsets without resorting to any other protocols.

These VR headsets have everything you need — from games, movies, TV shows, concerts, and many other experiences.

On the other hand, Discord is the platform that allows you to chat with your friends on text and voice channels. You can also stream your games, movies/shows, or videos you watch in real-time with your audience on Discord.

The good news is that you can also stream Oculus Quest 2 on Discord without the help of any third-party protocol or software through Quest 2 casting system.

Step #1: Cast Oculus to Your Computer

This step is the most crucial. Luckily, you do not need any third-party app to cast your Meta Oculus Quest 2 to your PC.

Unless you do not cast Quest 2 to your PC, you cannot use the screen share option on Discord to share your virtual reality experiences.

Follow these steps:

1. First, ensure your Quest 2 and PC run on the same Wi-Fi network.
2. Next, open either Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge browsers. You must use Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge browsers to cast Quest 2 on your PC, as Quest casting works in these browsers only and not others. 
3. On your browser, navigate to Oculus.com/casting.
4. Enter your Oculus or Facebook credentials to log in. You must log in with the same account on both PC and Oculus. 
5. After login in, you can see some casting options. Leave them be for a minute, as we have to do some other work on your VR headsets.
6. Now, press the Oculus button on Quest 2 controller.
7. Click on the share option (arrow icon) from the menu at the bottom.
8. On the window that opens, click on the “Cast” option.
9. Under “Available Devices,” you can find your PC if you have set up everything perfectly, as explained above. Select it and click “Next.”

If you have followed all the steps perfectly, your Quest 2 will start broadcasting on your PC browser. Everything else is a piece of cake.

Step #2: Stream to Discord

Once you have broadcast your Quest 2 screen on your computer, you can stream it on any voice channel on Discord.

There are two ways to do it.

Method #1: Use the “Share Your Screen” Option

The first is as follows:

1. Open Discord on your PC.
2. Select the server from the left panel.
3. Join a voice channel where you want to stream.
4. Click on the “Share Your Screen” option at the bottom.
5. Select your browser window where Quest 2 broadcasts.
6. Tweak the streaming settings.
7. Hit the “Go Live” button to start the stream.

You can send an invitation link to your friends to join your stream.

Method #2: Add Browser as a Game

Alternatively, you can add your browser as the game on Discord by going like this:

1. Open Discord on your PC.
2. Click on the settings icon at the bottom left.
3. Select “Registered Games” from the left navigation.
4. Click the “Add It” button.
