Our lives are full of screens in this digital age, but sometimes, you can’t access them, or you need a bigger one for your tired eyes. Meta announced a new app called
Meta Quest HDMI Link
for its Quest 2, Quest 3, and Quest Pro headsets. This app can connect any of your devices with HDMI or DisplayPort and send their output to your VR.
The HDMI Link app is available to download to your headset now from
Meta’s App Lab.
HDMI Link lets you watch videos, look at your computer, and play games on the headset in your Quest headset from any device with an HDMI or DisplayPort output. You’ll need a UVC and UAC compatible capture card to use the feature and connect it to the device you wish to view and a cable ending in USB-C male to connect the card to your headset.
Wireless options like
Quest Air Link
or
Xbox Cloud Gaming
are still available on the Quest headsets and are a little easier to use. However, HDMI Link can be useful if you’re in a space where you don’t have access to a solid Wi-Fi connection and can link up to devices that wouldn’t normally play nicely with a Meta Quest headset.
