Do you happen to know of a way to get a podcast (or YouTube or something) playing audio in the Quest while doing other activities? I’d love to listen to podcasts while playing VR mini-golf, but right now I’d have to play the podcast out loud on a secondary computer (and I live in a house with a lot of people, so that isn’t very practical)
There’s actually trick/bug to get the Oculus browser to play in the background.
Using the Quest Browser, open Open Spotify Web Player and start a song or podcast. Then connect to the Spotify web client from Spotify on another device, then launch the Quest game, then play the song on that other device.
This worked as of a few months ago—I haven’t tested it in .38 or whatever the latest version is.
I don’t know about that. Personally I wear Aeropex-brand Bluetooth headphones, which is how I’m already listening to podcasts from my phone all day, and then I just put the Quest headset on over them and it feels fine.

Thanks so much; I would never have found that one out myself lol
