Performance Issues

​

1080p Is Experimental

• 1080p streaming is currently experimental.
• If you’re having issues, switch to 720p — it’s more stable and uses fewer resources.

​

Network Quality

• Streaming requires a strong and stable internet connection.
• Poor Wi-Fi signal or high network congestion can cause dropped frames, buffering, or stream failure.

​

Game Performance

• Some games are more performance-intensive than others.
• Heavily detailed or unoptimised games may struggle to run smoothly with streaming active.

​

Headset Hardware

• BeamXR Live performs best on newer headsets like the Quest 3 or 3S.
• Quest 2 may struggle more, especially at higher stream resolutions or with intensive titles.

​

Experimental Features

• Features like Seamless Multitasking can increase resource use.
• Try disabling them in your Quest Settings > Experimental if you’re seeing poor performance.

​

Battery Level

• A low battery can lead to thermal throttling or reduced performance.
• Try streaming while your headset is plugged in or above 50% charge.

​

Other Tips

• Close other background apps before launching BeamXR Live
• Restart your headset to free up memory if performance has degraded over time
• Avoid streaming immediately after boot — give the system a minute to settle
