How it work

For people wondering why it doesn’t work. You need to run your Meta Quest before steam Vr. Steam Vr will open itself as soon your Meta Quest is connected. Then just need to play the game you want! Lunching the game from your computer can be easier, specially when its game outside your Steam library. Never try to go on your Computer screen with your Meta Quest to lunch the game, it will lag and might not work ( it didn’t work for me).

(QUICK FIX) Broken With New Update

The interface is broken with the new update. But you are able to recall it to the previous update. Go to the settings for Steam Link, either through pressing the app icon or by going to "Privacy & Safety. Press on "Release Channels", and press on "Previous (Opt-in)". Press "Confirm" and start the app again, this will update it to the previous version. Hope this helps!

Barely usable in its current state

Connection to PC is unreliable and often fails without reason. When it does work, the experience is unstable with frequent lag and crashes that break gameplay. The app does not provide a consistent VR streaming experience and needs major stability improvements.
