Where Does Virtual Desktop Store Settings?
Virtual Desktop streamer config on PC plus headset app storage notes.
Last updated
Virtual Desktop splits config between the PC Streamer app and the headset client. Bitrate, codec and environment choices live on the PC side; room setups persist in-headset.
Tune the streamer first when latency spikes. Headset-side settings rarely cause stutter.
Where Virtual Desktop stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\Virtual Desktop Streamer
Streamer settings, computer name and codec choices inside; exact filenames can vary with releases, so copy the whole tree. The Quest-side client keeps rooms and bindings on-headset. Re-pair after reinstalls on either end.
Frequently asked questions
Why is Virtual Desktop stuttering?
Usually streamer bitrate or codec mismatch in the config above, or Wi-Fi congestion. Lower bitrate before blaming hardware.
Do I need to re-pair after reinstalling?
Yes, on the reinstalled side. Streamer identity in the folder above no longer matches.
