I'm Max Dalton, and in this video I'll show you how to set up Air Link on your Meta Quest 2.
The Meta Quest 2 has a lot of processing power, but it still isn't as powerful as modern gaming
PCs. As a result, the Quest 2 can't natively run a lot of the more demanding VR apps on
the market. Thankfully, you can easily connect your Meta Quest 2 wirelessly to a more powerful
computer using the Air Link feature to leverage your computer's power to access some of the more
demanding games. Please be aware that the computer you connect your Meta Quest 2 with must meet some
compatibility requirements. I'll link to those in this video's description and pinned comment.
Now let's walk through the steps set up Air Link on your Meta Quest 2.
Step 1. Open a web browser and navigate to www.Oculus.com/setup. Alternatively,
I'll include this link in the video description. Scroll down this screen until you see the Air
Link and Link Cable section, and then click to download the Oculus app setup software.
Step 2. Click to run the downloaded setup file,
which will open to the Welcome to Oculus screen. Click "Get Started."
Step 3. Review the terms and conditions on the next screen, and then click "Agree" if
you want to move forward. The next screen asks where you want to install the Oculus software.
Choose the location where you want to install the Oculus app on your computer, and then click
"Install Now." A message is displayed letting you know the Oculus app has been installed.
Step 4. Click "Next." You'll land on a screen prompting you to log in,
either with your Facebook account or an Oculus account. Choose your desired method. The next
window will let you know that you'll be redirected to the Oculus desktop
app you just installed. Click "Continue." The Oculus app opens to the VR Downloads screen.
Step 5. Choose the folder where you want to save Oculus Store app purchases,
and then click "Continue." The Select Your Headset screen is shown.
Step 6. Choose your Oculus headset and then click "Continue." The next screen
will prompt you to choose the method you want to use to connect your Oculus Quest 2
to the Oculus app, which will either be using a Link Cable or Air Link.
Step 7. In this example I'll choose to use Air Link. Click "Continue" after
making your selection. You'll land on the Connect Your Headset screen,
letting you know that you need to put on your Quest 2 headset to move forward with this setup.
Step 8. Turn on your Meta Quest 2 headset, navigate to your Oculus Quest 2 home screen,
and then press the "Oculus" button on your right-hand controller to bring up the menu bar.
Step 9. Click the "Quick Settings" area in the menu bar. The Quick Settings window is displayed.
Step 10. Click "Quest Link" in this menu. The Quest Link screen is shown.
Step 11. Click to enable "Use Air Link" if it's not enabled already. You'll see a list
of PC's connected to the same wireless network that are running the Oculus app.
Step 12. Click the computer you want to connect to, and then click "Pair." A Confirm Pairing
Code screen is displayed, showing the code that you'll need to input in the Oculus Quest PC app.
Step 13. Take off your headset, and then check the Air Link pairing code that's displayed in
your PC. Tap "Confirm" if the numbers match. You'll see a message letting you know that your
pairing code has been confirmed and that you need to put on your Oculus Quest headset to continue.
Step 14. Put your Meta Quest 2 headset back on, navigate to your Oculus Quest 2 home screen,
and then press the "Oculus" button on your right-hand controller to bring up the menu bar.
Step 15. Click "Quest Link" on this menu. The Quest Link window opens.
Step 16. Make sure your computer running the Oculus software is listed as connected,
and then click "Launch." After a few seconds you'll be connected to the
Oculus app on your Windows computer using the Air Link functionality,
and you'll see the Oculus app running on your computer in your Quest 2 headset display.
