Hi all! Here’s answers to some common questions that might help you....
Q: Does it work the same on Quest 3?
A: Yes
Q: I can't find the Steam VR Performance Test App. Where is it?
A: It's gone! It's been removed from the store. You now just need to compare your PC specs against the supported hardware list (link in the description for that). And at the end of the day, if in doubt, just give it a go!
Q: When I connect my headset, and after accepting the popups, my screen just goes blank and/or I only see my cursor or 3 dots. How do I fix this?
A: There's several possibilities for this. The most common solutions are 1) make sure your GPU and CPU drivers are up to date. 2) Check that your graphics card is supported (see link in the description for list of supported cards). 3) Check that your graphics card is selected as the default graphics card on your PC isn't rather than using your integrated graphics. You can do this in the nvidia control panel for example. 4) Turn off any in-game overlays you might have enabled (such as the nvidia experience one).
Q: Why is 'Enable Oculus Link' pop up not appearing in my headset?
A: A few solutions here. Try logging out of, and back into, the PC oculus app. Also ensure that the headset and the oculus app are on the latest up-to-date versions, and in the settings of the PC app make sure that 'air link' is disabled (you can't have both running at the same time).
Q: I accidently clicked on 'allow' in the allow access to data popup and/or selected 'never ask again'. How do I change this?
A: In your headset go to Settings>Developer and uncheck and recheck the "USB Connection Dialogue" button. the pop up with now show up again the next time you connect so you can select the correct option.
Q: Why is my my headset not showing as connected in the oculus PC app?
Try a different USB cable or USB port. USB 3.0 or above is recommended for both. Also try restarting your PC and headset.
Q: I can connect the headset to the PC, but when I play games the video is choppy.
A: Try some of these to help resolve the issue. 1) Make sure your GPU and CPU drivers are up-to-date, 2) Check your USB cable (use the USB test shown in the video), 3) Check your PC spec (link in the description). 4) Disable any in-game overlays like the nVidia Geforce Experience one. 5) Make sure your video card is set as the default graphics card for the PC
If you're still having issues then have a look at the official meta troubleshooting page here:

Hope that all helps, and Happy Questing! 😊
How do you check whether the Graphics Card is the default card
What about an nvidia 3050?
These aren’t supported by meta. Check out the link in the video description for the list of video cards that are ( these were also covered in the video ).
I connect to my pc but when I click on steam vr it dosent load, it will load for a second then stop
@@jeffbutt4350 I have the 3 white dots problem
Dang, this video is SO good.easy to understand, great walk through and even addresses the most common issues? All under 10 minutes? Hats off to you sir!
Thanks James! Glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful. 🙂
@@MyTechGearGaming for me it don’t work, but good for you . Maybe mine doesn’t work because like my computer is like bad and also maybe because like the pc said, power surge
and also maybe because my wire literally broke.
@@MyTechGearGamingcan it works with my gpu amd 6500xt
This video came just in time! I just got my wife and I each a headset and I knew this was possible, but not entirely sure how to actually set it up. This video covered every question I had and then some, so thanks so much, this is a huge help!
You're welcome Travis! Enjoy! 🙂
Dude literally thank you for this tutorial. I'm a vrchat player, on standalone quest, and I was looking to get my first fullbody tracking set up, but I found out I had to set up SteamVR and stuff if I wanted vive trackers and base station but it was SO CONFUSING. This tutorial is short and easy, explains what I need to buy and why, and explains troubleshooting I might run into in the future. Just bought my cable link w/ your recommendations. I'm so excited for everything to come in so I can set up. Thank you so much
For those confused, you have to go into the quick settings section and select "Quest Link" and choose the computer you're paired to. That's how he got to that "Desktop" button at 7:52
It's not in my quick settings
@@bonster4986then go to the settings app
I have it but it takes forever it never links so it doesn’t work
Bro when I click the desktop button the desktop is just not showing, like the screen is black. Can
you help me please?
At this point they probably changed the interface and there are better alternatives than the official quest link.
Quick to the point, informative, and extremely helpful! Thanks a million!!
You're welcome! Enjoy! 😊
Dude, this is so helpful, I can now play all my steam vr games! You deserve more subs with all the work and editing you put into this video! Keep up the good work!
Thanks! Glad it helped you , and happy Questing! 😊
7:06 I cant believe the solution to a good hour of being frustrated was as easy as just denying file access to get the option to enable quest link, thank you so much!
Glad it helped! Happy Questing! 😊
Thank you so much! This one video alone was 1000x more useful than the official set up explanation video that Meta has. Can't wait to finally play VR Skyrim. Thank you again!
You're welcome Max. Enjoy!
Skyrim baby
Excellent Tutorial step by step and no waffling , ...many thanks for the help !
Thanks Stevie, and glad you enjoyed it! 😊
I've had to set this up for my nephew and your guide was perfect. Thanks, Dave.
I’m glad it helped Dave. Enjoy! 😊
I just bought a meta quest 2 previously having a htc vive and wow was this video incredibly helpful to get me playing my favorite steam vr games again really quickly and simply. Brilliantly done and thank you so much.
You're welcome Carter. Enjoy! 😊
how is it compared to htc vive.
@@t-macpie1410Lol the quest 2 doesn’t even compare. It’s trash compared to the vive. The quest 2 is a pretty horrible headset overall.
Hey Carter I also used to own an htc vive but am kind of interested in getting a vr headset again and the quest 2, likely 3 instead will be my choice so I'm just trying to do research. Have you noticed any visual difference in playing steam vr games on the quest 2? I want to think there should not be any or much as the pc will be whats actually running the steam vr games and not the headset but also are all your steam vr ganes working just fine with the quest 2 linked to steam? I only ask because I remember years ago certain games on steam would specifically list the headsets they were compatible with but now it does not specify anymore. Any clarification qould be great, thank you so much.
@@sledge2105 tell me whats worse than tracking lol
Extremely helpful. Thanks!
I’m glad it helped you. Enjoy! 😊
Thank you! After looking through several instruction videos, yours was by far the best!
Thanks! 😊
Thank you! Nice and straight forward. Just ordered my new PC. Super excited to finally play Alyx!
I bet you can't wait! Enjoy your PC when it arrives and happy Questing! 😊
very good tutorial. Just for anyone who doesn't get the second pop up, go to the tab where you can find your wifi and there is a option for the link cable and turn of airlink for it to work
Thank you for helping me!
You're welcome. Enjoy! 😊
This video was a big help, thanks so much.
You're welcome. Enjoy! 🙂
Bro is way too clutch, gained a like and sub 😎

Thank you i am buying a pc soon and i cant wait to play steam vr.
Have fun! 🙂
Very informative video. Thanks. Im new to pcvr and I have found out that steam vr games are lot cheaper than oculus store. My question is can you play all steam vr games on ur quest 2 or only few games are supported?
Pretty much every Steam VR game can be played using your quest 2 hooked up to a PC.
Awesome I’ll have to try
Enjoy! 😊
I followed it step by step and ready for the next video. Thanks!
Thanks, and glad you found the video helpful. 😊
Right, I have an oculus quest 2 not a meta. I just got a cable for my PC. Everything is good enough for games on VR but, whenever I go on any game, my quality is horrible. I always see this weird, transparent and wavy line at the bottom of the VR screen. I have no idea how to fix this.
the moment you realize your gpu isnt supported yet
bypass it by going into program files oculus software software and click on the game file and click on the main game app
@dee_tuber yo im having trouble even signing in. I talked to the robot customer service for like 2 hours. Just to find out the quest 2 doesn't support the i7-13700k
Can you make a guide@@dee_tuber
@@jamieh7725I don’t know what you guys are talking about, I have a meta quest, not a agbsyvy263826

Thank you for this. I failed to get this to work previously but until seeing your video, I didn't realize there was a SteamVR download that is needed.
I’m glad it helped and got you up and running. Enjoy! 😊
Thank you for the video, and I see that digital storm logo in your case. So glad I went with them to build my PC. They did a fantastic job.
I'm glad you liked the video. I built the PC myself, its not from Digital Storm. I do see their logo looks a bit like the logo on the DeepCool Gammax CPU air cooler that's in my case though. But hey, having had a look at their website, if Digital Storm want to send me a PC to review, I'm game! 😉
@@MyTechGearGaming Ohhh my mistake man. And fingers crossed hahah
