How to Use Air Link to Wirelessly Connect Your Meta Quest 2 to Your PC

If you want to connect your Meta Quest 2 wirelessly to play Roblox, then just follow these steps. The first thing you should do is enable Air Link on your Quest. To do so, navigate to Experimental Features in your quest’s Settings menu. In this tab, there will be a switch to enable Air Link. You must also confirm that your quest is linked to your router.

When you turn on Air Link, a dialogue box appears informing you of the necessary configuration and equipment; click Continue. Once enabled, you can access Air Link from the Quest’s Quick Settings menu by selecting the bottom left corner of the Quest taskbar, as shown in the screenshot below.

Once activated and paired, Air Link can be launched whenever you want from the Quick Settings option in the Quest toolbar. As long as your desktop computer is turned on and the Oculus software is active, you should be fine. Now, put on your VR headset and get ready for some Roblox fun once Air Link has begun.

How to Use Virtual Desktop to Play Roblox on Your Meta Quest 2

You need a “stable” router with a 5 GHz network, similar to Air Link, and a computer connected via Ethernet to use a virtual desktop to play Roblox on your Meta Quest 2. You also need to get a licence for Virtual Desktop for Quest and download the Virtual Desktop streamer PC application.

Once you’ve done that, all you have to do to connect is open Virtual Desktop on Quest while making sure the streamer programme is running on your computer. Once you’ve established a connection, you can start running your PC VR content and adjusting Virtual Desktop’s streaming settings for optimum performance. Go to the “Games” tab on Virtual Desktop to start playing.

After completing everything outlined above, you ought to be able to start Virtual Desktop on your Quest and connect to your PC. A streaming duplicate of your PC desktop that is floating in the VR environment can be interacted with.

Press the menu button (the one with three horizontal lines) on your left Touch controller to get to the Virtual Desktop menu. Here, you can change the settings and launch VR games. Virtual Desktop suggests launching games from this tab rather than manually starting them from your desktop.

Start a game from the games tab of the Virtual Desktop menu after making sure the proper client—Steam or Oculus—for your chosen content is open. Once you’re playing, you can adjust the settings for the most dependable experience. Once you have completed this process, you should be able to play Roblox on your Meta Quest 2 with no hassle whatsoever.
