Dedicated server with Oculus Voice
Hello!
SculptrVR multiplayer currently runs on dedicated servers in the cloud. I want to use Oculus voice in this setup.
Right now when I try to open a voice connection with another player it connects, but then never receives any data and times out. I believe this is because I'm not using an Oculus Net Connection since we're connected to the dedicated server directly. If I try to establish a session and connect, I think players will be connecting directly to eachother instead of to the dedicated server. The server cannot create a session since it's on Linux and has no Oculus SDK or Oculus account.
Is there a way to get Oculus voice working with dedicated servers?
Second question: can users connect in voice chat where one is on PC and one is Go/GearVR/Quest? These titles have different app IDs, but multiplayer works between them through dedicated servers.
Thanks!

- I haven't personally tried this but my suggestion would be to look into sockets. I'm not even sure if you can implement them with Unity and in VR, but they are a good way to handle things like VOIP and messaging. I briefly looked into it, it would definitely be complicated but might be possible -
