Dude YESSSSS!!! I have about 10 kick ass games on steam for VR, but my HYC Vive gave up the ghost years ago. We’re gifting our son the quest 3 and it’ll be so nice to have access to all my favorite games
Life saver mate. Got Quest 3 + BoboVR today, spent an age trying to get ACC to work properly, no luck. Stumbled across this, five minutes later driving around Spa with a big grin on my face 😊
Thank you so much for this, you saved my day, I wouldn't be able to figure it out so quick, and thanks to you I was able to connect to my PC on day one and test my new goggles. You're the best!
@@jorgepb6276 I didn't notice lag but it has worse quality due to the lower bandwidth, which wireless connection has. But if I connect PC to router via cable and then use airlink, the quality is pretty good. Cable, on the other hand, disconnects from time to time, and I have to reset the connection, but the quality is very good the entire time. May be the cable issue because I bought 5m long usb-c cable, but its bandwidth is very good so usually it works. So each connection has its pros and cons.
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I’m planning on buying a Quest 3S in the near future. And seeing this helps so much. I wanna play the new VR games but at a reasonable price, and seeing this just made my day 🤩👍
thank you bro, i was totally clueless, i was missing the final step, opening steam vr and THEN inside, open the game, i was opening the game first and i had no idea why i was only seeing a floating window instead of the game in vr
Typically you'd need a dedicated channel from your router. Wifi 6e is absolutely necessary or it will stutter like crazy. A dedicated wifi channel would be idea so you know nothing is bogging down the connection
2:08 I did exactly that but the environment around it is all distorted and I can't click anything. Anybody know how to fix this? I've searched forums but can't find help.
Hi~ I could use the way you told us to play steam VRgame. thank you. But I can't use this way to play MonsterHunter or other nonVr game in steam by a gamepad. there always have a visual mouse cursor on the screen...
im planning to get a meta quest 3, so this guide is very handy to have. one question though; do you have to do this process EVERY time you want to use it for steam vr? or does it stay linked until you manually disconnect it?
if you do the steps up until selecting steamVR would this be an optioin to play non-steam games on your desktop, since you end up pulling it up? (like emulation, etc)
Found something about it online, don't know if you got it to work or not so: 1. For some games, it may be advantageous to use controller emulation. You can do this under the "Controller Option" "Edit Bindings" and in the top-right, you can configure input emulation, and emulate another controller. 2. For controller input that is not coming into SteamVR properly, do you have other controllers or drivers attached to the system? I.e. a wired headset or software that creates virtual controllers?
Its unreal. $600 out the window. SteamVr will not see the headset. Ive been trying for 3 hours. It worked at first then stopped. And now it wont ever see it. Meta app does see it and says "active". Im really pissed....
hi, sometimes when I got in steam VR it puts me in a home like environment. Could I play normal Skyrim on the big virtual screen on the wall? Thanks for the video!
Is the experience, screen quality, compatibility and tracking better then the HTC Vive Cosmos and is it worth replacing? I find the HTC so clumsy with the cables and bad tracking
Is the oculus app on pc the same as the meta quest all ? Whenever I try to download the oculus app it says I already have it and directs me to the meta quest app already on my pc
I got this interesting situation that steamvr doesn't launch in the headset. It does launch on my desktop and i can see it registers the movement of my controllers, but i am still in the oculus environment.
@@ThisBlob third time i am replying.. my comment keeps getting deleted. I hate censorship.. Anyway, opt-in for the betas, SteamVR and the oculus app. That did the trick for me. If you want better quality, get Virtual Desktop.
What happens when you click on desktop to select a monitor and you are not presented with any monitor options instead only a giant black rectangle screen?
Will this work on a my Asus laptop it’s got i7-9750h @ 2.60GHZ ? And how would I go about downloading the oculus app when it doesn’t say “ air link and link cable “ on the Meta quest website ?
So with this methode you dont have to ues steam vr airlink then that is searching the pc? i played games only with steam vr app that i downloaded from the meta store so what is better ?
@1.SPLOOSH.1 no, you just select air link from inside the headset and the pc app sees it, you don't need to download or install anything separate anymore

These are the absolute best kind of guides. Straight to the point with zero bullshit. Thank you sir!
Thanks!
You just go direct to the important info! Awesome!
Just bought the Meta Quest 3 1h ago, and I was afraid it won't work with PC/STEAM......your tutorial is a lifesaver, THANKS !
Very good! Straight to the point, just what I needed, thanks!
100% agree
Thank you! This was brief and to the point. We appreciate it!

I don't even have meta quest, why am i here
Hi
Its ok, this christmass
Also, there is no Meta Quest, only Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest 3.
Gives you goosebumps, huh?
Cus like me your thinking about it
I dunno you tell me
Thank you so much for this, you saved my day, I wouldn't be able to figure it out so quick, and thanks to you I was able to connect to my PC on day one and test my new goggles. You're the best!
hi, how was it? Does playing by Air Link have lag? is it better to play by cable? or is it smooth both ways?
@@jorgepb6276 I didn't notice lag but it has worse quality due to the lower bandwidth, which wireless connection has. But if I connect PC to router via cable and then use airlink, the quality is pretty good.

Love it. Complete and succinct. RUclips monetization length limits are ruining howto guides. Kudos for the excellent guide.
nice and clear with no pointless jibba jabba . brilliant . thank you

Amazing!! Literally helped me with all of the questions I’ve had in 3 mins!
5 Stars fr fr
ty so much bro this helped me and my friend so much
thank you bro i was even wondering when you staretd steamVR how to get out of the oculus environment and you showed that too bro you are a real G
thank you bro, i was totally clueless, i was missing the final step, opening steam vr and THEN inside, open the game, i was opening the game first and i had no idea why i was only seeing a floating window instead of the game in vr
Thank you so much for the quick and straight to the point guide!!!
Is it better to use the cable or air link like will wireless affect performance depending on how strong your interest connection is?
Typically you'd need a dedicated channel from your router. Wifi 6e is absolutely necessary or it will stutter like crazy. A dedicated wifi channel would be idea so you know nothing is bogging down the connection
Get Virtual Desktop .... It is far superior.
Thanks so much bro! My parents are planning on getting me the Quest 3 for xmas and I cant wait now thank you 👍
2023 xmas or 2024 xmas?
Straight to the point and a big help
I don't have a quest 3 but this look very useful 👍
great video man helped alot
Ty so much for making this video
Thank you dude you saved me
Best guide ever needed the arms
Is there anyway to use the quest as a monitor and play warzone or regular steam games with a controller?
Thx so much, you’r the best❤❤
Do you need a high quality computer for it because my pc is slow
Yes, you will need a PC that can run the games you want to play. A headset will not improve the performance of your PC.
I’ll like & subscribe since you asked so nicely sir. Thanks for the help
should the oculus app take a lot of time to install? cause mine is just "checking system configuration"
Thanks mate.. no bullshit.. just straight to it, respect 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Thanks but i got a question i was like really laggy like it crashed is it because of the internet cause its like only connecting to the thing right?
Same here I wonder did you get it to work
will the meta quest 3 utilize my PC GPU when connected?
I'm having an issue where the games only pop up in the desktop, and not the VR head set. Do you know how to fix this?
Did you ever find a solution? Having that problem now, just got my quest 3 today
do i need to download games on my pc to play or just have it in my library?
I wanna do this but with 2d games on a giant screen. It seems like this would be simple. But apparently it isn’t.
Me too, let me know when you find something. I just want to use my quest like my Xreal
@@GOODEUSMAXIMUS ended up returning the quest 3. Saving for vision pro it is I guess.
Virtual Desktop will do that.
@@anintrovertabroad2065the vision pro will be even more limited just because it’s an Apple product
@@2Guys1ControllerShowcan you use virtual desktop wired?
What about playing regular non VR steam games?
2:08 I did exactly that but the environment around it is all distorted and I can't click anything. Anybody know how to fix this? I've searched forums but can't find help.
Same ,did you get it to work??
same
i have a question how do you play rick and morty into the rick ality without a pc
thx for the guide!
Awesome Video, this really helped!
Thank you that deserves a subscribe.
Thanks dude. Super useful.
I though this would be way harder than it is. Thanks!
Thank you so much buddy, you are the best

im planning to get a meta quest 3, so this guide is very handy to have.
one question though; do you have to do this process EVERY time you want to use it for steam vr? or does it stay linked until you manually disconnect it?
if i don’t have a normal pc i can’t play games with my steam library?
If it's just to play flat screen games, I recommend sideloading Steam Link instead. Much simpler.
i would prefer no latency.
ATS is very glitchy when using link cable, but only when driving and not in the set up menus.
Thanks bro it was very quick
So you need an air gap or need to hardwire your pc to the router?
if you do the steps up until selecting steamVR would this be an optioin to play non-steam games on your desktop, since you end up pulling it up? (like emulation, etc)
Okay but when I jump in Subnautica my controlls are all messed up and I have no idea what to do.... any advice ?
Thanks for the tutorial and how to do this.
2:42 I don't get the same screen when I press the button with the 3 lines. It shows a library of games. But none of the VR games detect my controllers
Found something about it online, don't know if you got it to work or not so:

I get my meta quest Tommorw I hope this helps
A big thanks!
Its unreal. $600 out the window. SteamVr will not see the headset. Ive been trying for 3 hours. It worked at first then stopped. And now it wont ever see it. Meta app does see it and says "active". Im really pissed....
Can you do it with Mac 🖥
Plss
EWWWWWWWW
hi, sometimes when I got in steam VR it puts me in a home like environment. Could I play normal Skyrim on the big virtual screen on the wall? Thanks for the video!
hi when i try pairing it to my pc it says it cant i did everything and it isnt working
Very nice!
Do you need a good computer to do this?
Probably
For good games you do. In this video one of the games is Subnautica. A great game... but requires a decent computer to play.
is the wireless option better than the wired option?
Wired will almost almost be better as It supports a higher quality and lower latency experience, but airlink is pretty good if you don't want a cable
Does it use my computer power and storage or the quest to play the game?
Is the experience, screen quality, compatibility and tracking better then the HTC Vive Cosmos and is it worth replacing? I find the HTC so clumsy with the cables and bad tracking
I want to play wired so the games actually work but my computer doesn't recognize the oculus when its plugged in and vice versa, do you know why?
Hello! On their website, i see the oculus apps for all headsets othed than the quest 3. Is this just the same software as the quest 2?
It is the same software. It's just the Oculus app for pc, and it will recognize your Quest 3
@serohme47 yeah I found that out now, forgot to delete this. Thank you!
What if you don’t have a computer but you do have an iPhone or iPad with this leaking still work or not with the oculus three??
You need a computer with steam.
So we're downloading Quest 2 software for the Quest 3?
This is sick if you have the quest 3
does it work good with the quest 3. like does it run well and does not lag. cause my quest two has like 2 frames per second.
Can you play non vr games with the monitor still via steam?!
wow thx friend!
could you play gta v in vr through this method?
I only have an Laptop which is not really fast. Does it works with it?
Your laptop will run games as well as they usually do, a VR headset won't improve performance.
ty im installing voice changer and mods for gorilla tag tysm
For some reason mine doesn’t pop up pls help me 1:51
Is the oculus app on pc the same as the meta quest all ? Whenever I try to download the oculus app it says I already have it and directs me to the meta quest app already on my pc
But the game is still played in the PC right ? The quest is just another form of display?
is it just for me or air link for games look so blurry and muddy, like vertigo 2 and blade and sorcery look horrible with quest link
Why everytime I launch the quest app to stream desktop it's glitch and I can't do anything. Any help
liked and subscribed thnxx for the video
I got this interesting situation that steamvr doesn't launch in the headset. It does launch on my desktop and i can see it registers the movement of my controllers, but i am still in the oculus environment.
Heyy there, I go the same problem and I am so frustrated. Did u found a solution for ur problem?
@@ThisBlob third time i am replying.. my comment keeps getting deleted. I hate censorship..
Anyway, opt-in for the betas, SteamVR and the oculus app. That did the trick for me.
If you want better quality, get Virtual Desktop.
@@Daeva83B okay thx
how do i op-in for beta on the steam VR? i did it on the oculus app.@@Daeva83B
So we don't need to install the game on the vr set and we can just play the game installed on pc?
What happens when you click on desktop to select a monitor and you are not presented with any monitor options instead only a giant black rectangle screen?
do you know any solutions for when I launch Quest Link and it is a black screen with the 3 dots?
Will this work on a my Asus laptop it’s got i7-9750h @ 2.60GHZ ? And how would I go about downloading the oculus app when it doesn’t say “ air link and link cable “ on the Meta quest website ?
I’m cannot get it to pair on my laptop for some reason it dose not show help :( btw I’m in the quest 2
Do you have to do that every time you want to play a vr game on steam? Asking as a potential buyer
Nope once everything is done just launch the game while your headset cable is connected to your pc
@@Justjay224does the cable gotta be connected or can u play wirelessly
@@Justjay224can u connect it wirelessly
@@Louie_Dowling yeah
1:42 I did everything what you said, but it doesn’t find my pc
Bro same 😢
So with this methode you dont have to ues steam vr airlink then that is searching the pc? i played games only with steam vr app that i downloaded from the meta store so what is better ?
I need help, when I turn off my vr the audio stuff is still connected to the vr witch means that I can’t hear off of the headphones on my pc
Hey can u tell me if u can play booth game on roblox on the quest 3 cuz I rlly need to know thanks!
if you mean Pls Donate yes you can

perfect guide, No Man's Sky here i come.
When I have to airlink pair the headset and PC the PC name comes up, but it wont connect, any clue has to why or how to fix it? :)
this is already outdated. theres no air link thing to click on on that site
Is there actually
@1.SPLOOSH.1 no, you just select air link from inside the headset and the pc app sees it, you don't need to download or install anything separate anymore
Do I need D-Link to use air-link? (Wireless)
