Bring back livestreaming.
With v30 Go Live has been removed. Being able to livestream to Facebook is a big feature for many users. Please bring it back.

Being unable to really share my play through casting, going live was my major way to get that audience feeling. Definitely would not have updated had I known. Probably won’t use it anymore.

Personally, I think they got rid of it because it sucked and was broken. Usually, you saw no comments or replies. Didn't know if someone liked it, until the end of the stream. And half the time I'm not sure if anyone heard me. Sometimes watching it on Facebook after it ended all I heard and saw was the game and a lot of movement where I knew I was talking but you can't hear me.
I honestly believe they just couldn't fix the issues and came up with a lame excuse and got rid of it. That sucked, also.
Now, if you have a computer anyway, you can cast to a computer you probably won't be near and stream with OBS where you definitely won't see comments or likes.

I was angry that this feature was taken away. I have friends that want to check out games before they buy and my live stream was how they did that. Your acutely costing yourself money by taking that feature away. I know people who won’t use their devices anymore because of it. That’s even more money lost on your part. There is no benefit to taking that feature away. All your doing is angering your customers.

if they don't intend of bringing back the go live feature then I got an idea for them. At least add a record option on the oculus casting site so you can record video right onto your computer so it uploads faster to facebook. right now I record a video on quest 2 and it takes almost a whole day for the video to upload. it's dumb. they either need to bring back go live or add a record feature to the casting site

I bought the quest 2 specifically because of the fb live feature. So I’m extremely upset that They removed the feature all together and now i rarely even use my oculus. It was extremely stupid on their part to get rid of a feature that was so popular. I hope they realize how stupid it was and bring back the feature. I don’t even care that i wasn’t able to see live comments or reactions anymore, I just want to be able to stream live.

this annoyed me. I always used the go live feature. recording a video and uploading it is a pain in the ass cause it takes hours for it to finally post. at least with the go live I was able to stream it directly to facebook and it was ready for viewing within an hour of ending the livestream

Pretty dumb idea to remove free advertising by users on the very platform that owns the quest.

I've been using the "Go Live" feature to stream what I play to Facebook ever since I found out I was able. It's enabled me to chat with friends and family while I play games -- it really made the experience much better. Now that it's removed I now have an incredibly negative impression of it. It's just not as fun anymore now that I can't do this.

Absolutely disgusted by this move. I bought the Quest 2 SPECIFICALLY because it could GO LIVE on Facebook. Now they remove that feature? Oculus SUCKS!

This was a huge feature to remove, especially without an alternative in place. I never got to use it, as the update released the day before I bought my Quest 2.
Having this limitation really sours the experience of VR content creation, for me. I don't have a VR-ready PC, so I don't have any other options.

Please bring back the feature. I have now had friends and family buy headsets after watching my live streams. It was so simple and no computer required which was excellent. Please bring back live stream to Facebook
