Play Not Working in Unity with XR Toolkit and Link

When I select "Play" in Unity editor, I do not see the VR playing in my headset. Link is working and my desktop fully connects to the headset. For example, I can build to the headset. I am using XR Toolkit. I have link enabled and when I hit play I can see the game window in the virtual desktop in link, but do not see the entire VR immersively.

Figured this out. I needed to go to Project Settings->XR Plugin Management->Plugin Providers and add "Oculus Loader". This was missing in the tutorials I found and the files I downloaded. I am now able to view in my Quest with Link by hitting play in Unity and the controllers are fully working!

Oh. I did it under the desktop tab but that might carry to the Android tab too.

    This^  I had Oculus checked under Android tab for building to HMD but didn't realize you had to go to desktop tab and check it off to get the VR experience in Oculus link. Thank you!

    Wow, I am in your debt. The things I have tried over the last few days. How did you figure it out?

    ^I am having this exact same problem...but cannot find the "oculus loader" plug in provider right now...is there another way where it works?

    I was having this issue and it was fixed after I updated the XR Interaction Toolkit package in the package manager!

    Also what was the issue for me was in Oculus app on PC go to Settings->General->OpenXR Runtime
    and set this as active because previously I had this set up to SteamVR and it didn't run app in the Quest.

      The solution of pawciut is the one that also worked for me with Meta Quest Link
