@@shaneharris2770 Hi sidequest VR official you need to make it compatible with ios, please!!!!! I have a pc but It would be awesome and you would gain a lot more people!
Thank you so much for the step by step on how to side load for my Quest2. I've already installed a couple games via wifi. This is great to find more games to play.
THANK YOUU. Also you don’t need a phone if you don’t have android if you have a connecter thing you do the same process but on a pc and use side quest on your pc I did it that way and it still works
Great video but one of the most important features is missing and that's sideloading a file stored on phone. The desktop version has it but its completely missing from the mobile version
@@thekarmalife2693 oh really? Where's the option to sideload a file Not downloaded from sidequest? Perhaps you could enlighten us. Ive been through all the options and sideloading a file not downloaded from sidequest is not present
I am pretty new to VR and I am just such a fan of your channel. You've got clear passion for the technology and a lot of knowledge/variety in your content. Thanks for continuing to make all these great videos. I'm always looking forward to any new videos. Have a wonderful week!
I hope they make this iOS compatible. There are a lot of Oculus users on that mobile platform and we’d appreciate it. If the desktop version can run on a Mac I can’t see why a mobile version couldn’t do the same.
Also I haven’t tried this but there is a Samsung app that allows an android client onto an app on your iOS device, it may work but because it is an app within an app it also may not send the request to connect to the quest
Thank you so much 💕💕.. I bought my Quest 2 when it came out... I never even paid attention to the double ended usb-c cable that came with it... I'm so happy... Downloading Doom 3 right now... Much love ♥️💯
For some reson it didn't Work the pop ups never came up and I was never able to connect but your videos were very well made and very well explained so thank you for the video 😁
I just wanted to say that i’ve never done anything like this before i had tried the bugjaeger method before with no luck so you can imagine my excitement when this actually worked for me Am currently downloading funkin vr at the moment because i’ve wanted to play fnf but i got no pc but after this i can imagine downloading tons of other games in the future quest 2 prices are kinda high
@@xerox4eva that's explained in the video how.. you'll need the pc ones to install the filemanager on quest via sideloading. You could do that with another android phone, which is able to push files via ADB ofc, but it's more easy with a computer
Would this be where maybe trying bugjaeger would help instead? They allow direct i believe and you can find the files on another site other than side quest
Sadly it uses ANDROID DEBUG BRIDGE so it makes sense, maybe one day there will be a Apple or alternative OS option but for now it probably will stay android only for a while.
I know right! This is ridiculous! Why can’t they make it for all operating systems. Literally double the amount of people would be download and playing it. Joke!
I didn't get half thr notification you did. It asked me to allow and I clicked yes. That's it. Now I just have that IMPORTANT pop up spinning for eternity. Watch I wanna connect so I can use my shadow pc.
I still don't understand how to sideload random APKs that arent in the sidequest library. In your screenshots (at 5:59 for example) it shows some of the apps that i'd like to install. Do you have to push those in via PC, or can we use sidequest to install those?
@@silvrsurfer I haven’t jailbroken my phone in years but I use to download from PlayStore all the time. Now only thing that may get in the way is using ADB. You can install an android OS on an iPhone but may not be worth it.
@@silenthashassin8912 I would just recommend getting a cheap android phone on like eBay Craigslist or Kijiji(if ur in Canada). Something under 100 that could get the job done.. but damn I was unaware you could actually run the Play store on iOS. Was it some sort of virtual machine or was it directly on the os, cuz I thought android & iOS apps used different coding languages
there was no prompt when I first opened up sidequest that said to always open sidequest Installer when oculus is connected and when I allow access, sidequest doesn't show up in the apps to choose to open the USB device.
this video really helped the only thing that I was confused about was finding developer mode turning on but since its a year old they must have changed the app a little bit and eventually I did find the button
@@RB-gy6jq it’s bc android is just the test phones for the high end phones just like iPhone cus they are not taking the risk android are taking rn that the app is not working for them lol
@@retobowbeans Not really. I got it to work by connecting to sidequest on my laptop and fiddling with the ADB options. But it soon stopped connecting again.
Hello. Just wondering what phone I can buy to get the oculus app. Please would you tell me if you no. What kind of Samsung galaxy smart phone will you need mate to get the app..
I've been using the sidequest mobile app up until recently where I'm having the same problems you are having. My only guess that it's because of the v29 update
Thanks so much for showing us USB debugging but not showing where that is. I love having to go look somewhere else when videos have incomplete info. Thank you for that
@@matteoferrari8963 sadly no ..i think its just certain android phones that are OTG compatible like in the video i think she was using a samsung.. i have a LG stylo 6

Hi Cas... I've already enabled WiFi connection to the Quest 2 from my PC-installed SideQuest. If I install SideQuest to my Android phone, do I still need to connect the Quest 2 to the phone via USB cable in order to enable WiFi from SideQuest to my Quest 2? Thanks, Doc-CJ

Great video. Question for anyone who knows. Me and my sister both of quest 2's. I have an android phone, she has iOS. Can we use my one phone for both our quests? Sounds like we'd just have to change the ip address
