Quest Link does not support hand tracking. You need to use SteamLink.

doesnt work with cable either with steamLink. WHen i click connect via ccable it automatically connects to meta quest link app.

plautus​ according to this thread, it looks like hand tracking with Link has been mostly fixed in v81 which you can get via the PTC.

OK, I may have misunderstood your original post, I thought you meant hand tracking within PCVR games.

I've just found that I also have this issue: if I connect to AirLink and then exit AirLink completely, hand tracking no longer works in my Quest 3 Universal Menu unless I disable and re-enable the setting "Automatically switch between controllers and hands" or restart the Quest 3 headset. My Quest 3 is v79.1034 (build 5115411.17490.520) and the Meta Quest Link app on my PC is v81.0.0.828.254. I've reported the bug via the headset.
