Analysis
Available for download on Meta’s App Lab, HDMI Link provides an immersive way to watch videos, access computer content, and play games. To use this feature, users must have a compatible UVC and UAC capture card, along with a USB-C cable to link the card to the headset. While wireless options such as Quest Air Link and Xbox Cloud Gaming remain available, HDMI Link offers a practical solution in environments with limited Wi-Fi access. It also enables connections to devices that typically wouldn’t be compatible with Meta Quest headsets, broadening the usability of these VR devices.
