Passthrough using Quest Link

TheStagGamer

Hi there,

Is there a way to get passthrough working when using DeoVr from the oculus store? Running on a Quest 2 with oculus link. Currently passthrough doesn't seem to be working when enabled.

Thanks

Same, Even I checked using passthrough option in oculus link (airlink).
couldn't unable to use passthrough :

DeoVR can't do this in their public app. Passthrough over Link is not a feature available to public apps. it's only meant as a debug tool for app developers. Developers have to turn it off before shipping an app to the public.

There are ways around it for example by side-loading unapproved Quest software like the ALVR server app on the Quest that talks to a client app on the PC side that sets up a side-channel, but it is super complicated for end users.

@metrocube is there maybe somewhere something like a instruction for this workaround? I understand it is complicated and probably it won't work ... but I would like to try. Guess it's worth it :-)

It is but supported by oculus. Can't do much

I have no clue about this things but it sounds as it can maybe work somehow

Here is what I found regarding passthrough over Oculus Link.
Passthrough over Link doesn't work and it doesn't seem to be a priority for Meta.
Meta allows it to work only in Unity editor, they will not allow apps in Oculus Store to use that feature.
But I will keep checking this functionality from time to time if anything changes.

Important: You must enable the Developer Runtime Features and Passthrough over Meta Quest Link toggles in the Oculus PC app by clicking Settings > Beta. The Passthrough over Meta Quest Link toggle appears only when you enable the previous toggle.

Note: Passthrough over Meta Quest Link is a developer-only feature aimed at increasing your development speed by previewing your passthrough-enabled apps while still in development. That being said, the visual appearance and performance characteristics of the experience are slightly different between running over Meta Quest Link and running on an Meta Quest device.
