​
Game Category

You can choose a game category so your stream is properly attributed on Twitch or YouTube.
  • We currently use IGDB to list VR game titles.
  • If a game is missing, let us know on Discord.
You can also submit new games to IGDB by following their guide: How to contribute to IGDB
We’re also working on adding non-game categories like Just Chatting soon.

​
Stream Title

  • You can set your stream title to anything you like.
  • Currently, we automatically add “BeamXR Live” to the title and include a watermark.
  • A Pro tier will soon allow you to remove branding and unlock advanced customisation.
We’re also working on more YouTube-specific controls like thumbnails and privacy settings. Track the feature’s progress in our Discord

​
Stream Quality

If you’re having performance issues, try switching to 720p.
You can choose between:
  • 720p (HD) – Recommended for Quest 2 or more demanding games.
  • 1080p (Full HD) – For higher-end headsets and stronger bandwidth.
If you’ve enabled Seamless Multitasking (in Experimental Features on your Quest), this may affect performance. Try disabling it if streaming becomes unstable.

​
Platform Selection

Choose whether to stream to Twitch or YouTube. More platforms and custom RTMP support are on the way — stay tuned!

​
Saving Your Defaults

To save your go-to streaming settings:
  1. Tap the cog icon in the BeamXR Live navigation menu
  2. Adjust your preferences
  3. They’ll be saved for future streams automatically
