Mic Drops When You Open a Game

On Meta Quest, microphone access is exclusive — only one app can use it at a time.
  • If BeamXR Live is in focus, the mic works for the stream.
  • But when you launch or focus a game that requests the mic, the mic is handed over to the game — and your stream loses audio input.
We know this is frustrating — we want the fix as badly as you do! We’re exploring multiple solutions to improve this:
  • Mic Toggle Feature
    We’ve added a mic toggle for users with Seamless Multitasking enabled.     You can now manually switch your mic to go either to BeamXR Live or to the game — but not both.
    Some games will still automatically take the mic back, but BeamXR Live will now show an on-screen indicator so you always know if your mic is live on stream.
  • OBS Workaround (Desktop Only)
    We’re working on support for users who want to stream via desktop using OBS.  You’ll be able to:
    • Add your Quest headset as a video and audio source in OBS
    • Use a separate microphone on your PC for commentary or voice-over
    • Stream to Twitch, YouTube, or any custom RTMP destination
  • BeamXR InGame SDK
