Still don't have Oculus Air Link? Here's how to enable it on Quest 2
Are you looking to set up Oculus Air Link on your Oculus Quest 2 but can't seem to find the option? Don't worry, you're not alone and there's nothing wrong with your Quest 2. Despite getting the April v28 Quest 2 update, many Oculus Quest 2 players don't have the ability to configure Air Link because, quite simply, the option is missing from their Oculus Home dashboard. If you'd rather not wait for Facebook to enable the feature for everyone and get to playing the best Oculus Link games, there's a solution — albeit not the most simple solution ever created.
Thankfully, a clever Redditor figured out a quick command that'll force your Oculus Quest 2 to restart the system software and check for new features, thus enabling the missing Air Link feature. It's not super cut and dry though, so you'll need to follow these steps in order to get it working. For this process, you'll need a PC, your Quest 2, and a USB cable that can connect the two. We'll begin with enabling developer mode.
Enabling developer mode
If you haven't already enabled developer mode, follow these quick steps. If you've already done this, skip ahead to enabling Oculus Air Link, otherwise, follow these steps:
At this point, if you're familiar with ADB and have the Android Developer Tools installed, you can continue to the section below. Otherwise, SideQuest is the easiest way to issue ADB commands to your Quest 2 without much fuss. Here's how to get that installed:
Lastly, you'll need to connect your Oculus Quest and your PC and allow USB debugging.
Now that we've gone through all that rigmarole, there's just one step left.
Enabling Oculus Air Link
For this tutorial, we're going to use SideQuest to issue an ADB command to the Oculus Quest 2. If you have used ADB in the past and prefer to issue the command using Command Prompt or PowerShell, you can use that, as well.
Some users have reported that they need to run this command two times in order to see the feature, while a few users have reported that this command didn't help — although, thankfully, it seems that this helps most people. If you still don't see the Air Link option available after performing the above commands and ensuring both your Quest and PC are running Oculus software version 28, you'll just have to wait for Facebook to flick the switch.
