I mean you can't stream from a PC at all without signing into a meta account I'm pretty sure, so it's not like it changes anything.

Actually idk if you can do anything with the headset without signing in?

I can and do. I don't have a Meta account.

Yes that's my concern but I was hoping someone would have hacked it by now just enough to make it functional for SteamVR without Meta services.

Or ideally a whole different OS.

Huh, didn't know that, what are you using to stream? Cuz if I remember correctly the meta app forces you to login.

Why would I need a Meta account to stream from my PC?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Because the oculus PC app forces you to login before you can use it

You don't need an Oculus PC app to stream from your PC. You just use Steam. Or any number of other options like Moonlight.

I wasn't talking about streaming your screen I was talking about streaming VR games
