Where Does Bigscreen Remote Desktop Install?
Where Bigscreen Remote Desktop installs and keeps its data on Windows.
Last updated
Bigscreen Remote Desktop is a Squirrel style install under LocalAppData, with one versioned app folder per update plus Update.exe beside them. There is no Program Files copy. The Quest headset app pairs through your shared Bigscreen account.
Old version subfolders pile up after updates. Uninstall properly instead of deleting folders by hand, since firewall rules and Start Menu shortcuts point at specific versions.
Where Bigscreen stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\BigscreenRemoteDesktop\
Squirrel install root with app-versioned subfolders and Update.exe. Keep the default path so account pairing and firewall rules keep working. Uninstall from Apps settings rather than deleting folders.
Frequently asked questions
How do I pair the Remote Desktop streamer with my Quest?
Open the Bigscreen menu in VR, go to My Room, Remote Desktop and flip the sharing toggle on. The PC and headset must log into the same Bigscreen account. Pairing happens through the account, not a code.
The streamer installed but the headset cannot see my PC. Why?
Reinstall with firewall notifications on and allow access when prompted. The streamer needs local network plus firewall rules per installed version, and old version folders keep stale rules behind.
