Quest / Go / Gear VR Build 10.0 Release Notes

ShowbizDonkey
Retired Support
Casting

We’ve made the following updates and enhancements to casting features:

  • Quest now supports all generations of Chromecast as well as some Chromecast built-in devices (NVIDIA SHIELD TV, Google Home Hub, and some smart TVs).
  • You can now start a casting session in-VR, as an alternative to using the Oculus Mobile app. To do so, select Sharing > Cast and choose the device you want to cast to.
  • Chromecast latency, connection stability and picture quality have all been improved.
  • Feedback when a casting connection is established or broken has been improved.

Notification Preferences
  • We’ve made some improvements to notification preferences from in-VR to clarify that the preference set in the headset are different from those set in the mobile application.
    • To access your notification settings in-VR, select Settings > Notifications and adjust the toggles to reflect your settings preferences for each notification type.

Settings
  • We’ve made improvements to the in-VR settings that allow you to better personalize your VR experience.
    • To access your settings in-VR, select Settings and adjust the toggles to reflect your preferences.

New Experiments

This section includes new features we’re testing for future releases. You can opt-in to experimental features by selecting Settings > Experiments in-VR. Please note, the experiments section includes features that are still being developed, so you may encounter anything from minor-issues to app-crashes.

  • On Quest, you can now see when your friends beat your high score in games like Beat Saber. You’ll be able to see these updates in the Oculus mobile app, as well as in-VR.
  • On Quest, you can now see a curated set of trending and popular videos of people playing games on Quest.
  • On Quest, you can now see a list of the “The Best 5” of a certain type of content, such as the “The Best 5 Sports Games, The Best 5 Games to Break A Sweat, The Best 5 Apps for the Weekend, etc.

Miscellaneous
  • We’ve made system updates that improve performance when running some applications.
  • We’ve created new icons and optimized our iconography for consistency, improved performance and enhanced readability.

Just got the firmware update and my casting has gone form bad to not working at all.. I've a 2nd gen chromecast which did cast from my phone. Now it doesn't appear on my phone cast items or the headset cast devices? What's going on? I can cast from my phone with other apps without a problem so l know its all on the same network and casting fine with other devices / apps.. 

Take that back....turned the headset on two hours later and l can see my chromecast on the device list and is casting.. happy days ?

Still waiting for the update (BE, EU).  Update from 8->9 took about 48 hours as from when it was announced.

Also waiting on the update. I'm in the UK. This must be one of the slowest rollout update as of yet.

How long did you have to wait to get the update?

I dont understand why can't we just get a notification in Home when the update is available?
Is it just me, or does having to leave your headset on idle for long periods and randomly doing power resets just to see if it has downloaded and/or spamming the manual update (if you have v9)  seem amateurish and silly?
