03/28/21- You'll need these things to do this. 1. A powerful gaming PC. Me: Nope. Guess it wasn't meant to be. 03/28/22- Edit: I finally saved up enough money to get a gaming PC. Dreams do come true! 😁
Ok turns out I had a 960 and can’t even download the oculus app to begin with. So ya. Couldn’t get VR working. At least I can run this at 2k on keyboard.
i love how everyone on amazon is giving this headset a bad review because they’re scared of facebook using their data, but they literally have an amazon account along with a phone
Do you just use it as a login? Or do you have to be using Facebook I don't understand it can't you just make an account with no friends etc and use that
Finally someone that ACTUALLY shows you how to get it done! I'm new to the VR world (Oculus 2) and I saw Lone Echo and really wanted to play it however I was running into a small problem. Luckily I have a gaming computer and with your video now I don't feel so lost. Thank you!
Who else is watching a bunch of videos like this while waiting for the Quest 2 to release? I am so hyped, it releases tomorrow but it feels like forever away
I upgraded from the Oculus Rift CV1 with a 3 sensor set-up to an Oculus Quest 2 today. WOW! That resolution bump baby! Playing my Steam VR and Oculus Rift titles on my Quest 2 with 1 cable vs the 5 I had plugged in before... incredible. And I bought a 26 foot cable for like 45 bucks (it's two you connect together if you want the extra length) and it works perfectly. I played Beat Saber and Half-Life: Alex for 2.5-3 hours and the battery stayed charged enough while I played and it was at less than 50% when I started and I played around with Robo Recall (quest version) before that as well because it was cross-buy. Very happy that I got one!
Just a heads up, I dont believe I have what you would call a modern, Powerful Gaming PC. Its round 5 years old now, with GeForce GTX 1070 msi duke and i5-8400 and when I ran the SteamVR performance test it held up reallllly well. So before you write off ur pc, do the test. Ur pc might surprise you. *Edit: I may be dumb dumb and not know how powerful my PC is still. (might be the 4k monitor Im trying to run with it making me have to tweak so many settings in games, making me think it ain't as good.)
So in terms of pure gaming, your pc is quite powerful, the 1070 paired with an i5 is still one of the most cost efficient power pc's for gaming. Powerful in ever aspect maybe not, but in terms of gaming you're set for quite a while, excluding ray tracing but who needs that.

If your quest 2 does not work when you enable oculus link it will be 1 of 2 things. First is make sure you have installed steam vr on top of regular steam. There is a small box on the top right of the steam page that says VR. If it is green then steam vr is installed and running. If it is not green but you did install it you need to re enable the add ons mainly virtual desktop on the steam vr setting where it says add ons. Then restart steam and steam vr and also your headset and it should take care of the issue.
@@JoshuaCataldo is your virtjual desktop streamer app running and logged on as the same username your headset is and oculus app? Here is everything that needs to be running for it to work. Oculus app, steam app steam VR app, and the virtual desktop streamer app. You have that running it should work fine. If it still doesn’t work then reinstall steam vr because it may not have been installed correctly. Also put on the oculus and give permission to those apps requesting access.

Thank you for making chapters and actually being specific and right to the point. I am now able to play my favorite games being Rec Room and Vrchat, in great detail now!
Buying games for a hybrid device like the Quest 2 can be very confusing, especially for those who are new to VR and the Quest 2 is their first device. Can you make a video explaining the different options (buying games directly for the Quest, buying for the Rift, buying in SteamVR etc.) and their pros/cons?
amazing tutorial mate, I just pre-ordered my Quest 2 on Saturday and have been looking around for ways to do this and yours was by far the easiest to understand.
"internet connection is not that fast" That's somewhat misleading. You don't necessarily have to have a decent internet connection at all, the important thing is that your connection to your router is fast enough, ideally you'll have a wired connection to your router with a very strong wifi connection to the headset. Again it has to do with the speed of your network HARDWARE not the actual ISP's internet speed.
Thanks for clearing this up! I will make sure I put a disclaimer in the description regarding this. Also I will be making a video on how to stream wirelessly through Virtual Desktop in where I will point this out as well. Cheers!
When does he say that? I must have missed it. As a new VR user, I don't really understand what your wireless router has to do with this? The Oculus Link cable only streams pixel and tracking data from the PC to the headset, nothing more right? And all the processing and interfaces are being run on your PC, AKA the headset will use the PC's internet connection for multiplayer games. Am I missing something here? Please help.
video was exactly what i needed , 1 thanks for the links yeah you called it and 2, great content . simple straightforward no messing around , just how i like it
I watched this video about twenty times before I got my headset 2 years after playing VR, this video is so nostalgic, thank you nathie, means alot. You kick-started my vr adventure
If you are building a powerful gaming PC on a budget I recommend those options: AMD Ryzen 3600 + AMD Radeon 5700 XT or Nvidia RTX 2700 Super. If you want the latest budget high performance build, then go for an AMD Ryzen 5600x + Nvidia RTX 3070. If you want a high end system and want close to maximum gaming performance under $2000, then go for an AMD 5900x + either an AMD Radeon 5800 XT or a Nvidia RTX 3080. If money is no concern and you want the very best then go for an AMD 5950x + AMD Radeon 5900 XT or Nvidia RTX 3090. I also recommend buying a good motherboard, a monitor compatible with your graphics card, at least 750W Power Supply, high speed RAM with low latency and a case with high airflow (mesh front preferably).
thanks dude I bought a oculus quest a couple days ago and it arrived and I had alot of pcvr games on steam because I used to have a vr headset and I was getting confused on how to do it but this video showed me how thanks bro
After having the Oculus Quest 2 for a few months and failing in properly linking it up with my PC and Steam, I have finally found the main culprit as to why I was having an issue. I don't know how many people if affected by this but if you run Citrix Workshop while also running Steam, it for some reason causes you games to not run properly or at all. And also for some reason caused my mouse cursor to drift to the top of the screen when an active Steam program open such as SteamVR or just trying to run a game like Cities Skyline. I found that if you disable Citrix via Device Manager, you will no longer have issues. Just remember to reenable Citrix when you need to use it again. I hope this helps even just one person with a similar issue as it had me quite frustrated.

So I'm guessing there's a new issue that hasn't been covered yet cause I've been looking for an answer. Set up of an account goes wrong and just displays a black screen, never goes past it on the oculus link app
I had the same problem I contacted Oculus Support and they gave me these steps so I am going to follow them and see what happens Restart the PC. Make sure GPU drivers are up to date. Ensure the headset is connected to the correct GPU. Uninstall and re-install that application. Add the application to the antivirus software's whitelist. Provide this public article for additional information. Try another Windows user account with admin permissions Repair Oculus Home. Manually re-install Oculus Home. Disconnect your computer from the internet. Backup any necessary content. You can find steps on how to do so by clicking here. Reboot into Safe Mode. Uninstall Oculus Home using the Control Panel. Delete all Oculus folders from the following folder: C:\Program Files Remove any Oculus folders from the following locations: C:\Users\YourUserProfile\AppData C:\Users\YourUserProfile\AppData\Local C:\Users\YourUserProfile\AppData\LocalLow C:\Users\YourUserProfile\AppData\Roaming C:\OculusSetup-DownloadCache Restart your computer in normal mode.

How in the world have I been looking at videos for hours to help me with my issue and the entire time my USB was just backwards
for the oculus quest 2 since it is supposed to be wireless do you still need that black cable to connect your vr to your pc? or do you have to buy it seperately?
@@natty3674 I think you can do it wirelessly, but there’s better quality and it just overall runs better with the cable
@@jumsyt6556 when i try to connect my vr to the oculus app it says connect the cable, but the oculus quest 2 didn't come with the link cable and my computer doesnt have a usb c port
@@natty3674 the headset doesn’t come with the cable it is sold separately and if your pc doesn’t have usb-c then you should prbly connect wirelessly ig
@@jumsyt6556 okay so if my computer doesn't have a usb c port should i just buy the usb a to usb c adapter? will it work the same? i have a usb a port just not the c
is it taking a long time for the vr oculus app to boot up or is it just me?
YO THank you so much, i needed the link
“You need a powerful pc.”
Welp, I’m out.
Bruh I’m asking for one for Christmas and I need a fucking pc I just want to play gorn and stuff but I need a fucking pc I hate my life
@@camreniskinda5471 woah there
But You Can Also Use A Laptop Too For That
Well I’m doing it off a shit hy laptop
@@camreniskinda5471 did you get it?
Who else is going to have their quest on release date 😎
i might but prolly not
I bought an index LMAOOOO
Nerd. Jk I wish I had that money
I'm gonna order it on the release date because my bday was on thursday and my mom and dad said they'll get but my dad gets paid tomorrow witch is the release date😎
Already preordered 😎
So I'm guessing there's a new issue that hasn't been covered yet cause I've been looking for an answer. Set up of an account goes wrong and just displays a black screen, never goes past it on the oculus link app
I'm having the same issue..I don't want to return the quest..but if I can't get the pc app to work I might as well -.-
Im getting the same issue, i cannot figure it out!
I had the same problem I contacted Oculus Support and they gave me these steps so I am going to follow them and see what happens

If its fast enough, then yea
@@MaskMan1Official I got a windows 8
@@autisticklynn-vs4ru Yea sorry you need Windows 10 or better
the software link in the description just brought me to the meta page and told me to download the app on my phone and wirelessly connect (I have already done this) basically the link to download the software is outdated or never worked to begin with (I believe this is the first scenario), if you see this comment can you please send me a working link. Thankyou in advance.
"should be able to install this in less then 5 minutes" ive had to trouble shoot for 3 hours, speak to unresponsive nonhelping customer support, and I still cannot launch the software for my oculus quest 2, it literally just grey screens.
Same thing is happening to me rn, it has me sign in and choose a logo and then just goes grey
@@joeyp7452 same. Did you find a solution
@@codstertv7366 nope I tried for 3 hours and nothing, I just emailed customer support and gave up lol
Same here someone plz post a solution lol

5GB in less then 5 minutes, bro I live in australia, give me like 7-9 Business Days
Damn dude. Great video! It really cleared up a lot of issues that I am having. Can’t wait to get home and do a clean install.
this is soo helpfull even after two years
So wait can I play steam VR games wirelessly or does my headset need to be connected to my pc at all times?
That’s what I need to know too
Using this method its wired you can use virtual desktop to do it wirelessly
Automatically stopped the vid after the first thing i needed
i’m on the screen that says connect your headset and i am sure it is plugged in and it isn’t doing anything
Same

My Quest 2 screen just goes black when I click enable connection. I can hear this video's audio through the headset speakers. Anyone have a similar issue?
Same with me
@@alanbootje3695 What video card do you have?
@@wildkeith i have a gtx 1660 oc 6gb. it doesnt have a ucb-c input. do you have to fix it or do i need dto buy a hdmi adapter?
@@alanbootje3695 Your card is compatible. You just need a USB-a to USB-c cable and a USB 3.0 port on you motherboard. That's supposed to be the way it works, but I'm still having the same issue.
@@wildkeith yea me to. it loads in but i have a black screen. and if i go to steam vr i can see my controllers on my monitor but i have a black screen on my oculus. its fk weird man.
Whenever I turn on the link it just shows the three dots, then just a black screen, how can I fix it?
Same! It keeps happening. I just got thought you know what? I'm deleting it
Same. Maybe it's because we have a week PC. My graphiccard is pretty bad and only momentarily.
@@janick8262 I just fixed it all I did differently to try to fix it was plug in headphones to headset and allow mic
@@silvacrystalx28 tryed it but nothing changed.
@@janick8262 oh
Bought a Quest 2 today and I have to say it’s absolutely amazing!
when i open steam vr all i get is a black screen on my quest
Same
Press the home button and I think it will be fixed
@@sdmlol6553 Didnt work :(
my quest refuses to connect to oculus link, ive tried everything please help
Makes you wanna punch everyone in the face too right?been there
You my friend are a *FUCKING Legend*
When I came to this video I expected a
Oh SORRY guys you can't but here are other games!
But no you helped troubleshoot explained everything down to its most complicated feature and soon imma play find a way to play minecraft on my oculus quest 2. Preesh man!
Update:
My dad didn't like the VR I had and ended up having me watch as he smashed it.
He said it was making me dum and forgetting that I was in a physical world.
He thinks this because I hit the TV twice. Over the course of many weeks. Anyways my 15 minutes of playtime and an unfinished world were all still possible cause of you my friend. So thanks
thank you so much man now i'd be able to play dozen more free to play games because i'm a new member of vr world
I JUST WANT MINE TO ARRIVE ALREADY
Me to
Same
yep me to
This person has been waiting for 2 months for it to arrive
When I try to download steam vr it tells me that it’s not supported in my language what am I supposed to do then
Same
time to learn another language my guy
I had the same problem. Go to library, and above where it shows ur apps, type in Steam VR.
@@ShortsFromNicc thank you. You helped a lot had the same problem till I went to my library
3:05 im stuck at this point. My headset is plugged in with a USB c to usb a cable that meets the requirements but it never finds my headset 🤔
I think it requires a USB C to USB C
@@gabriansmith7721 so since my pc doesn't have usb c I'm out of luck?
Not sure you might be able to get an extendeder that has a USB c port. Maybe try that?
I’m having problems getting steamvr to work with the quest 2. It starts to load and then stops. Anyone else having this problem?
Yep.
Everyone is having the same trouble. I spent 4 hours with different tech people last night and they could not fix the issue. They try and say its my brand new computer but there are hundreds of post on the web from people having the same issue
I figured it out.
@@terria8825 could you give a solution please because I’m getting a quest 2 in a few days and was wanting to have a somewhat problem less experience
@@somecreature2320 it's in that link I posted
