Your Meta headset can now display the output of any HDMI or DisplayPort device

Our lives are full of screens in this digital age but sometimes you don’t have access to them or you need a big one for your tired eyes. Meta has announced a new system called Meta Quest HDMI Link for its Quest 2, Quest 3 and Quest Pro headsets that can connect any of your devices via HDMI or DisplayPort and send the output to your VR.

The HDMI Link app is available to download for your headset now from the Meta App Lab.

The HDMI connection allows you to watch videos, watch your computer and play games on your Quest headset from any device with HDMI or DisplayPort. You will need a UVC and UAC compatible capture card to use the feature and connect it to the device you wish to view and a USB-C male cable to connect the card to your headset.

Wireless options like Quest Air Link or Xbox Cloud Gaming are still available on Quest headsets and are easy to use. However, the HDMI link can be useful if you’re in a space where you don’t have access to a strong Wi-Fi connection and can connect to devices that won’t play well with the Meta Quest headset.
