-
Connect your computer directly to your Wi-Fi router using an ethernet cable.
Note:
- Make sure the Wi-Fi router that the headset connects to supports 802.11ac (5 GHz) or 802.11ax (5 GHz, 6 GHz)
- Make sure the headset and Wi-Fi router are in the same room and that there is a clear line of sight between the headset and the Wi-Fi router.
- Put on your headset.

Go to
Settings > Connectivity > Computer connection.
-
Select your computer.
Tip: Select Set "PC VR apps" as the default Library filter if you primarily use your headset to stream PC VR titles.A QR code will appear on your computer screen. A numerical pairing code will also appear below the QR code.
-
Do any of the following to pair the headset with the computer:
- Use the headset to scan the QR code on your computer screen.
-
Check if the pairing code below the QR code matches the pairing code in the headset. If the pairing codes match, click Pair.
Note: The pairing code only appears when using headset system version 1.0.999.374 or later and VIVE Streaming Hub 1.2.1 or later.
Note:- If you can't successfully scan the QR code, see What should I do if I can't successfully scan the QR code when setting up wireless streaming?. Alternatively, you can confirm that the two pairing codes match and click Pair.
