so far ... 

bought used quest 2 on ebay, no controllers.

connected quest 2 to pc via link cable. meta quest link has connected to quest 2

connected quest 2 to samsung a8  via meta horizon app. 

connected quest 2 to wifi. quest 2 is now updated.

objective.

i want to test the quest 2 with f1 2025, msfs 2024, and star citizen. no need for quest controllers yet. 

successful testing will lead to purchase of a new quest 3.

Unfortunately, you can’t. Need controllers.

jodyyhiiirolla  is absolutely correct, you need controllers to get the quest 2 to rock and roll.

i bought another quest 2 with controllers and all is sweetness in vr land.

f1 2016 and msfs 2020 are amazing in the headset. using the cable link and monitor mirroring. 

do not waste your time trying to get the headset to work without controllers. it might have worked once but not now. march 2024, signing off.

Ensure the phone is connected to the app, then go into the phone app and launch the browser. A browser window will open up in the headset. Select 'manage settings. in the browser and this will take you to the main settings menu, where you can connect the headset to the PC and play PCVR titles. If you close the browser or settings window, you'll have to restart the headset and launch the browser again.

Sorry but I'm having the same problem, and I can't seem to find the place or way to launch the browser from the meta app. I already tried sharing a link, i even downloaded a version from 2 years ago. Nothing... I tried getting developer options but all I get is "we are having groubles loading this"

please explain:

phone connected to the app.

launch the browser from the phone app.

fully confused !!!!

 

@AMEXJOE   have the headset active and have it showing in the mobile app that it's connected. Navigate to your Quest apps on the phone and select the browser and launch it from the phone. The browser window should then appear in the headset.

There isn't a launch button for me, it just says it's purchaced. What version of the mobile app are you on if I may ask?
