Attaching the VIVE Streaming Cable to the headset

Connect your headset to your computer using a USB Type-C® cable.

Note: If you don't have a long USB Type-C cable, go to the VIVE accessories page and purchase the VIVE Streaming Cable.

Attach the L connector of the VIVE Streaming Cable to the USB Type-C port on the side of the headset.
Run the VIVE Streaming Cable along the top of headset band.
Fasten the velcro cable wraps on either side of the built-in speaker. Make sure to fasten them with the fuzzy side out to avoid tangling with hair.
Important:
- Make sure to fasten the first cable wrap behind the rubber stopper.
- Make sure the cable wraps don't cover the speakers.
Connect the other end of the VIVE Streaming Cable to a USB port on your computer.
