VR Preview mode is greyed out

Hello. I'm trying to connect Oculus Quest 2  to Unreal Engine. The glass is connected and active but I still the VR Preview button is greyed out. Do you have any idea how I can fix it? Thank you.

  • I'm talking about classic, wired link, not air link.  If you don't have the proper cable you'll need to purchase one.  If you can't play PC games over a wired link on your Quest 2, you will not be able to get VR Preview working either.

    Make sure you've activated the PC Link from the Quest 2 Settings menu before starting the editor.

      Thank you for your reply. Are you talking about Ari Link?

      If yes, I did it and it still didn't work.

      That's what fixed my problem. I had the blue Oculus app installed. I was missing the white one for developers so I didn't have the link cable window inside the headset. 

  • I use air link and the VR PREVIEW button appears, you have to have the STEAM VR plugin activated, and steam vr installed, then you enter the air link or cable link, start and enter steam from the quest, then on the pc you must It will appear that quest 2 has recognized you, and the VR PREVIEW button should appear available

  • I had to activate OpenXR plugin. I was on a blank new project... and VR Preview was gayed... Quest 2 conected by link cable, Oculus App runing before UE editor.... but not working. Just needed to enable OpenXR plugin.
