Hi,
Is there a way to use Passthrough virtual environment inside Link home?
That I can easily see my mouse and keyboard while working with Link's Virtual Desktop (not the app but the one on Oculus Link menu).
Many thanks,

Just use Virtual Desktop, they have passthrough with 90hz refresh rate option ( wireless ofcorse) I no longer use Oculus HOME app or Oculus app of any kind on my PC. Only STEAM VR. If you want to use Steam link ( NOT OCULUS LINK) then you have to wait for a bit they will have passthrough soon ( possibly already have it( you can check in the steam menu) as for OCULUA link I do not think uses that anymore. It’s a bit outdated and it only had Passthrough for the OCULUS RIFT originally and only using UNiTY set up, which was externally complex. I suggest VIRTUAL DESKTOP it’s out of the box Passthrough and it is wireless…. Aaand providing you have good to great internet ( at least 5G or even better 6G, but 5G should be fine) you will not notice much latency with wireless connection… in fact I would argue wireless is better connection now days then Oculus wired Link with OCULUS app. So just get Virtual Desktop and enjoy the passthrough 🤩 This was brought to you by a RI ( Regular Inelegance ) 🤦:male_sign:😂😂😂

For Rift S
Once you enable Passthrough, you can switch into Passthrough mode by:

I have the same question but this answer is not satisfactory, we would like a functionnality just like workrooms where you can define a passthrough desk and use it to interact with your keyboard while still seeing your virtual desktop. Also if you could find time to implement hand tracking in Link that would be great, no pressure

The Passthrough Room mode doesn't work with LINK anymore.... I think they switched it off for some reason..

1. I have never tried using Pass through the room in Lin. So noticed it just a few days ago, but I have seen people using it on Oculus around 2 years ago. Also, I saw a similar effect with Rift as well 2 years ago.
2. Yes I have tried all of the troubleshooting
3. My GPS is up to date I have checked
4. My windows 10 is up to date( Had an update very recently just to make sure)
5. Yes, I have checked and all drivers are up to date.
Nothing worked.
Here is what I'm
trying to get to for reference:
Just a simple Passthrough... Similar to Rift. This is available on Quest when connected via Cable with LINK.
I know there is an option using the UNITY setup, but it's extremely complex and unnecessary for my purpose. I just want to see my keyboard while having my PC desktop open. ( my keyboard is cabled NOT BLUETOOTH, which means I can not connect it to the Virtual keyboard on Oculus at all. Plus I need my keyboard.)
Please let me know how I can make passthrough with dash still visible in LINK.
Cheers
Andy

Not a helpful answer. It does not address the issue which multiple users have raised.
We want to be able to *see* a real world keyboard, by enabling passthrough mode in Quest Link.
Please carefully read through the posts that users have taken the time to type up before replying.
It's incredibly rude to reply with unrelated generic advice, and incredibly disheartening for new users coming to the forum.

Are these AI generated answers? This has no relevancy to the original question.
Pass through in Quest Link is an absolute must for better Unity Development.
