Quest / Go / Gear VR Build 10.0 Release Notes

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.

Update: v10 should be available to everyone within the next couple of minutes. Thanks for your patience!


Mine updated automatically. I did not ever click on the update button. Weird.

Still doesn't cast to the app well. When will there be an update to fix that?

This update killed the casting for me. 8.0 -> 10.0 and my Chromecast ultra is not found anymore.

Hi, I noticed that the ability to turn tracking off has been removed when transitioning from 9.0 to 10.0. Will this be a feature again in another update? I need to toggle tracking off somehow..is there a developer option?

If you go to setting/see all & click the device tab, then scroll right down, tracking on/off is at the bottom of the list.
You may have to turn developer on first, I’m not sure.

Did you try to restart the Quest?

Hey everyone - if you're not seeing a setting that existed previously and we didn't call out that it was being removed, please reboot your device. This can often help ensure everything from the latest update is loaded properly. If you continue to experience issues after a reboot, please contact support. Thanks!

My Quest has been updated, but the casting directly from the headset to my Chromecast still isn't working.  The headset doesn't detect my chromecast despite being on the same network.

I did, multiple times. It’s unavailable.
