Connect with Standalone
This chapter covers how to use EXCAP with a standalone headset such as Meta Quest or Pico. You will select Standalone mode in Excap Studio, optionally enter your headset’s IP address, and enable OSC inside VRChat.
Select Standalone Mode
In Excap Studio, click the Standalone button in the top-right corner.
📝 Note: Standalone mode sends tracking data to VRChat over OSC instead of through SteamVR. Make sure your headset and PC are on the same local network.
OSC Setting (Optional)
If Excap Studio cannot detect your headset’s IP address automatically, enter it manually.
- Click OSC Setting.
- Type the headset’s IP address, then confirm.
💡 Tip: You can usually find your headset’s IP address in the Wi-Fi settings menu of the standalone headset.
Enable OSC in VRChat
In VRChat, open the settings and turn on the OSC switch.
⚠️ Warning: If OSC is disabled in VRChat, Excap Studio cannot send tracking data to your avatar, even if the connection shows as active.
Check That It Works
Move your legs in front of a mirror (or ask a friend to watch your avatar). If your avatar's legs move with you in VRChat, you're all set! 🎉 If not, double-check the OSC switch above and make sure both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network.
