did you use windows ?i didnt have the file to install that was in the video

[@LilDebbie1970]

Open the occlus app on your phone and connect your quest 2 and your phone then turn on developer mode on your phone. It should connect to sidequest. You will now have a green light and it will say connected.

For those who do not see a devices tab in your Oculus app on your phone. I had this too and solved this by uninstalling and reinstalling the Oculus app. After this, a MENU appears on the bottom right that wasn't there before. If you press that, you'll see eight menu items (two rows of four items). One of these will be the devices part that you could not find earlier.

[@kobadashi]

thank you 👏👏

[@infrarednottaco]

For me it just says it needs location access when it has it, I'm trying uninstalling the app and reinstalling it

Clicking download on some of the games opens a browser window instead of downloading directly like you indicate in the video. This normal or did I miss a step?

[@OmegaShonJon]

So when I extract the files, I can't find "Usb.Inf" but when i select files to keep, it tells me that I have it, and saves the file, but its still doesn't pop up as Usb.inf. Its just usb. Plus, I can't install the file, it just gives me the source code. Edit: (Ok after some digging I found the installation option. If you can find the one that says "Usb.Inf" than "android_winusb" should work)

when i go to do it on pc the .inf isnt there and im doing everything exact is there a way around this?

[@sidequestvr]

We have just double-checked this for you and we cannot confirm the issue. If you download the file and then extract it, the android_winusb.inf file is located inside oculus-adb-driver-2.0\oculus-go-adb-driver-2.0\usb_driver . It might show up as simply "android_winusb". As a reminder, you download the drivers by clicking on the blue button that says "Download" here: developer.oculus.com/downloads/package/oculus-adb-drivers/ and extract it by right-clicking on the zip file and selecting "extract all" or similar term based on your extraction tool.
