Quest Link Issues

Can't find PC, not connecting, or startup issues:

Firstly, we want to try and isolate the issue first;

1. Double check all connection issues are resolved.

2. Double check the cable and the ports; try a different combination or try a different device.

3. Restart the headset (top of page).

Reinstall/Repair Quest Link

App may have gotten corrupted, reinstall or repair it to restore its functionality

1. Use the OculusSetup.exe found in ...\Program Files\Oculus

Google is your friend otherwise! We do not think you should change any settings that compromise the security of your device though; such as disabling firewalls.

It was juuuust working

Where it was working fine, but you took off the headset and after putting it back on, it's just a black screen.

1. Firstly there's a subtle difference in the black for when the headset is completely off, and when it is a black screen, check the power options. Press + Hold to bring up the power menu if the device is awake.

2. Have you moved locations? You may need to reset the boundary.

3. Restart Quest Link (top of page)
