Hey,
for faster compilation time and for console output i would really like to use my Oculus Quest as Oculus Rift over the USB 3.0 Cable connected to my computer in unity. I know that I can run virtual reality games on my computer and stream them to my Oculus Quest via Oculus Link.
How can I enable the feature to stream to my Quest in the Unity Editor when I hit the play button.
I found a discussion from 2019 that is maybee outdated: 
The official Site does not mention a possibility to use the quest inside unitys editor:
I currently can not paste the links because this is my first post here.

You can absolutely use the unity editor with quest link but a few factors come into play with compatibility. To help diagnose why its not working start by posting the following:
-unity version
-oculus home runtime version
-quest os version
-gpu & gpu driver version

Hi,
my unity version is 2019.2.17f1.
oculus Desktop Application: Oculus-App-Version 14.0.0.170.710 (14.0.0.170.710)
Quest Os is latest version: Systemversion: 5072400209400000
There is also another entry version: 14.0.0.143.709.1999009111
I have a nvidia GTX 970 with driver 432.00

But how do i set up unity for using the quest as a rift?
These are my steps but it does not work.
create a new 3d unity File
import oculus framework from unity asset store
delete main Camera
drag OVRPlayerController to scence
Add plane and cube to scene to see a 3d object later in VR.
Edit the Player Settings in unity Settings after restart of unity
     Edit Player Settings int the "PC, Mac & Linux Standanlone" tab:
          enabled "Virtual Reality Supported" Checkbox in the XR Settings
          in the virtual Reality SDKs is at the top position "Oculus" with enabled Shared Depth Buffer and endabled Dash Support.
          under that is OpenVR

"Stereo Rendering Mode*" is set to "Multi Pass"
"Vuforia Augmented Reality Supported*" is unchecked
"360 Stereo Capture" is unchecked.

if i change to the Windows tab and go to the XR Settings, I can not add Oculus to the Virtual Reality SDKs.
What am I doing wrong?
