Quest 2's "Go LIVE To YouTube" Feature Not Working

So recently I've seen that in the Camera, there's now an option to go live on YouTube and see your chat while you stream. I've tried to use this feature, but every time I do it always says "something went wrong". (for the record I use OBS studio and stream the oculus.com/casting window.

WHAT I'VE TRIED:

- Going live on OBS then casting
- Starting a scheduled live

If someone could please tell me what I'm doing wrong I would appreciate any help.

  • What does OBS stand for and how do I use it for the quest 3? I'm trying to figure out how to livestream myself and I'm having the same issue but whenever you say use OBS for casting then it gets me confused

    Hello that1flame! Thank you for reaching out to us with this matter. We understand how important it is for our device to work to their full capacity, and we would like to get this resolved for you. If you haven't yet, tried the option of making your live session Public as stated by ToXXuS? With Meta Quest, you can livestream from your headset to YouTube and see your YouTube live chats while fully immersed in VR. This feature requires casting from your headset to a desktop and using a stream companion desktop software such as OBS (Open Broadcasting Software) in order to livestream to YouTube. Keep in mind, this feature is available for public livestreams only and will not work for private or unlisted streams. For more information please take the time and visit our public article HERE. We hope this information was of help to you. Have a legendary rest of your day!

        Hi whatdouneed7, thanks for reaching out!

         

        Yes, you need to have a device you are able to cast the headset to while the livestream is occurring. As stated by another user within the thread, start the stream on the pc and set it to public prior to clicking the "Cast to PC + YouTube" button.

      Hello Oculus. I came here trying to find a solution to my problem, but i found nothing of this issue. When I put in my channel handle, nothing pops up. I put @ in front of my handle and made sure I had spelled it right, but still, nothing pops up. Can you please help me fix it?
