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.

What a silly feature to remove. It’s a free advertising platform for you. Users who use this help get new users on the quest platform

Please bring back Live streaming and commenting being seen in the headset. I've been missing watching my favorite streamers who have beer waiting for the commenting feature to be reenabled. Removing live streaming all together is a bad idea.

We in the Wander VR travel club have used live-streaming to engage in virtual tours and group chats. Cutting off the live stream feature makes sharing our enthusiasm for VR travel so much more difficult. It’s a great disappointment as the alternative of casting will not allow real-time commenting or the opportunity for social engagement due to the lag time and cumbersome setting up processes. Why did this feature get removed? It takes all the joy out of what should be a shared experience and turns it into another isolating solo video game.

I would have preferred to see the "Go Live" feature improved rather than done away with. Consider that these shortcomings may be why the feature saw little use:
- The ability to Go Live to a Facebook Gaming Creator Page, rather than just a profile
- Better streaming quality
- The ability to Go Live to Twitch or YouTubeThe above enhancements could drastically increase exposure of the Quest to the multitudes of gaming livestream viewers on the internet.

Please bring this back and add the ability to stream to our platform of choice. If you had any confidence in your platform you would make this an option.

Live streaming to a community group turns the oculus devices from a solitary experience to a shared one.
For many I know, watching and making live streams has helped them through lockdowns and removed feelings of isolation.
For a social media company to remove the ability to live stream, thereby being antisocial, I think is a disgraceful decision.
If this move persists, along with the decision to place ads in games, then I know Oculus has truly sold out to their FB financial masters and the strange view of what is right.
The oculus headsets are wonderful things. To be sullied by stupid decisions is a shame and will really dampen my joy for the devices. The result of which is that the next versions of the devices won't be much of a draw any more.
Bring people together oculus.
