When you plug in the USB cable, the PC detects your Quest 2 (as a mass storage device), but there is no way to enable the Oculus Link connection. On the other hand, Air Link is still an experimental feature after all, and they probably will.Īnyway, if you have been using wireless Oculus Air Link and you then try to go back to the regular wired Oculus Link connection, it won’t work until you disable Air Link from the headset. I would say the following method is actually quite a serious design and user experience flaw that Oculus should definitely address. Restarting your devices and starting from a blank sheet might just be enough for your Quest 2 to be correctly detected by the Oculus App and starting enjoying the wonders of PC VR. Select “Enable” when prompted to enable Oculus Link.Select “Deny” when prompted for “Allow access to data” in the headset.Plug your USB cable to a USB 3.0 port on your PC.Allowing data access instead of denying it and other similar small things cause issues as well.įor this reason, I recommend you restart your devices and try establishing the Oculus Link connection following these steps. There are many little quirks and missteps that could be the reason your Quest 2 is not detected by the Oculus application properly.įor example – plugging in the USB cable before your PC and headset have fully booted up is known to cause problems in the USB connection initialization. I recommend you to go through them one by one in the order given and hopefully you’ll arrive at a solution. Next, I am going to explain these and other solutions in a bit more detail.

If the problem still persists, check that Air Link is turned off in the headset and try different USB port/cable combinations.

Make sure your headset and Oculus App are updated (and also Windows and graphics drivers). If your Oculus Quest 2 is not connecting to the PC App, the most common solution is to restart both your PC and headset and then try again. In this article, I have addressed one of the issues that people often seem to have – being unable to successfully connect Oculus Quest 2 with the Oculus PC App using wired Oculus Link connection.
