Connecting your Meta Quest 2 (formerly known as the Oculus Quest 2) to your PC allows you to enjoy VR experiences beyond what’s available on the headset itself. Here are two methods to connect it:

1. Using a USB-C Cable (Oculus Link):

System Requirements:

    • Most Nvidia GPUs from the 970-series and higher, as well as AMD 400-series and higher GPUs, are compatible.
    • Check the complete compatibility list on the Meta Quest Link requirements page.

Steps:

    1. Download and install the Meta Quest app on your PC from oculus.com/setup.
    2. Register with Meta using your Facebook account or email address.
    3. Turn on your Meta Quest 2.
    4. In the Meta Quest app, go to Devices, select Add Headset, and choose Quest 2.
    5. Select Link (Cable) as the connection method.
    6. Plug one end of a USB-C cable into your Meta Quest 2 headset and the other end into your PC.
    7. In the Meta Quest app, press Continue.

2. Wirelessly via Air Link (Recommended for mobility):

System Requirements:

    • Ensure your PC meets the same requirements as mentioned above.

Steps:

    1. Enable Air Link on your Meta Quest 2:

      • Turn on Air Link.
    2. Download and launch the Oculus Rift software on your PC.
