Step 01: SideQuest Installation​

Step 02: Connecting the headset​

Warning

"Developer mode" must be already active. If you don�t know how to activate it, here�s a guide for you.

The steps to connect the headeset on SideQuest are:

  • Turn on the Meta Quest
  • Connect to a PC through USB cable
  • Enable the device from the headset.

Now the red dot on the SideQuest application would turn from red to green.

Note

If it's yellow, it means the device has been found but needs to be granted access from the headset.

Why is the red dot still red even following the instructions?​

Causes can be multiple, let's answer with the two most common situations: First thing, check if the "Developer mode" is active on your headset.

Else, disconnect the headset from the computer, close SideQuest e proceed to install the Oculus ADB drivers for Windows, following the instructions at this link. Once completed the process, try to reopen SideQuest and connect your device.

Other causes could be not allowing the connection of the device from the headset, a faulty USB cable or an old version of the SideQuest launcher.

Step 03: Yellow dot and authorizations​

If the dot is yellow, "Authorization required" will appear on the side.

Wearing the headset while still connected to the computer will show an interactive PC access authorization panel. You have to select "Allow", so the SideQuest dot should've turned green.
