    There is no version of Meta Quest Link for Mac. Doesn't matter what version of macOS you are running.

    That wasn't the question, d0gg

    The question was how to use the Meta Remote Desktop app for macOS provided by Meta to connect a Mac to an Oculus.  https://www.meta.com/help/quest/1370025034331518/

    I am having the same problem.  It seems the software says it only works with Monterey, Big Sur, and Catalina. But there is no other alternative that I can find or solution to this problem.

    did gbteixeira98 ever find a sollution?

    Hilarious. 

    In another thread, Meta Support is still trying to troubleshoot this.

    It seems Meta Quest Remote Desktop isn’t fully supported on macOS Ventura yet, which could be causing the issue. Try installing Rosetta 2, and make sure all necessary permissions (like Screen Recording and Accessibility) are enabled in System Settings. If that doesn’t work, you may need to wait for an official update or explore community-supported alternatives.

    Rosetta 2 on macOS does not allow you to run 32-bit applications. Rosetta 2 is designed to translate 64-bit Intel-based applications to run on Apple silicon Macs. Support for 32-bit applications was dropped in macOS Catalina (10.15) and later versions.

    this is the problem and I speak bc it happened to me, I have Ventura and I had Remote Desktop and it worked just fine, then later on the software had an update and thats when it then said I can't use it with Ventura or older anymore. so what we need is an older version of Remote Desktop. is this available anywhere?

    Same issue here. Worked fine for OVER A YEAR and then broke. Meta says it's an Apple issue, but I think not. Frustrating.
