TIMESTAMPS
00:25 – How to get the Oculus Link update on both PC and Oculus Quest
EDIT2: Public Test Channel does NOT work anymore with Oculus Link. Disable it by toggling the button to OFF as I showed in the video at 00:40. See this Oculus Tweet for more info: https://twitter.com/OculusSupport/status/1197263393440354305?s=19
If it doesn’t work, disable developer mode too.
03:11 – Oculus Link Cable Test & Recommendations
EDIT: I’ve also received several comments and seeing it on Reddit that the cables I’m using in this video seem to work for most. Happy to hear! I’m guessing the more updates we get, the more hardware + cable combinations will work.
