What StereoLift Live does for them
- It has its own Linux guide that covers installing, launching and updating the app on Ubuntu.
- It runs on Linux as well as Windows, as long as the PC has an NVIDIA GPU.
- The server runs on your own machine, so the screen stream goes over your LAN rather than a remote server.
- You can control your desktop in 2D from the headset, then switch to 3D to watch with depth.
- If something breaks, the support page tells you what to send: your operating system, GPU and Quest model.
Who it is not for
Not for Linux PCs without an NVIDIA GPU, since the depth conversion runs on NVIDIA hardware.
Questions
Can I convert a video file instead of my live screen?
Not with StereoLift Live, which works on what is on your screen. For video files the site points to the separate StereoLift service.
Source: stereolift.liveWhat should I include when I report a problem?
Your PC operating system, GPU and Quest model, what you were doing and any error message you saw.

Yes. The headset recordings show an option to dim your surroundings, next to the visual settings and effect toggles.
Source: stereolift.liveIs the stream between my PC and Quest encrypted?
Yes. The picture travels from your PC to your Quest encrypted over your local network.
Source: stereolift.liveDo I need an account to use it?
Yes. You register a StereoLift account; cloud services handle sign-in, linked headsets, support and optional diagnostics, while the screen stream itself stays on your network.
