Question

Passthrough over link not available?

I have a verified developer account. I have a quest 3 with developer mode turned on and linked to a windows pc running the meta quest link app. No matter what I have tried there is no Beta settings option at all. So no way to enable the passthrough over link option? Has it been removed or what am I missing to see the Beta settings?

    I'm currently in the same situation and can't use Unity's pass-through function.
    Have you solved it yet? I'm also looking for a solution.

      I am in crunch for a project right now, and this feature randomly being disabled has come at the worst time. I need it back, and now. This is exactly why developing for Meta platforms has always been terrible. It's as stable of a platform as a bowl of dog water.

        Same issue!
        Link passthrough is a time saver for quest development. Please re-enable it!

          I had the same problem. Meta's (AI) support was useless.

          By analyzing the Link logs with the official debug tool, I found the following registry keys. Below is the .reg file you can run:

          Debug Tool: C:\Program Files\Oculus\Support\oculus-diagnostics\OculusDebugTool.exe

          Menu: Service -> Logs -> pick a log file

          Registry File:

          Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Oculus VR, LLC\Oculus]
"VRPreviewLaunchLink"=dword:00000001
"ExperimentalExtensions"=dword:00000001
"PassthroughOverLink"=dword:00000001
"SpatialDataOverLink"=dword:00000001

            andrea.511384​ , thank you very much! That did the trick for me too 🙏

            I do think that Meta should fix this issue directly in the Link App. Maybe file a bugreport somewhere? (I didn't search for the option yet)

              There's been 100's of bug reports, but support says its not an issue since it still works for some users on wireless, so they're not seeing this as an issue for now. Been dealing with them now for 3 weeks and the consensus from all responses is that if u want to see this added back as a feature to keep submitting feedback for march's update else they don't see the issue being an issue since the headset can "still" perform.
