Group sessions

Use headphones in group sessions to prevent audio bleed between headsets.

03

Controllers aren't responding properly

If controllers lag or jitter

  1. Check for low-battery notifications and replace the batteries if needed.
  2. Restart the headset to reset tracking.

Help tracking

Make sure there's good lighting and few reflective surfaces nearby, so headset and controller tracking works properly.

04

The session disconnects or freezes

Try these in order

  1. Check the Wi-Fi signal and bandwidth. We recommend at least 5 Mbps.
  2. Limit large downloads on the same network during sessions.
  3. If it continues, leave the session and join again.
