Today, something interesting has happened. Meta released a app called Meta Quest HDMI Link, which lets you connect your headset to new devices.
According to Meta, Quest HDMI Link lets you connect your Quest to devices with a HDMI or Display port. This includes consoles, laptops, handheld PC’s, and more.
However, it’s not as easy as you think. HDMI Link requires a capture card. Once you have that, follow these steps meta has provided below:
- Install Meta Quest HDMI Link on headset.
- Connect your source device to your capture card (Like your TV) using your cable.
- If needed, run USB-C power to your capture card to keep headset charged.
- Connect the headset to the capture card using a USB-A female to USB-C male cable.
- Turn on the headset and grant permissions.
Honestly, this seems like too much work for me. However, that doesn’t mean some people wont benefit from this feature.
I’ve been using VR for awhile now. To get an idea on what you can do inside VR, check out our article here.
