there is something called sidequest launcher that lets You download APK's Without a Computer. i just used it To get side quest from your link without a computer. I just found out about this and think its very helpful.
@@dadlovesyounevaehandresfra5154 if your looking for a fast hard drive I would instead look for SSD’s because those are far much quicker than any hard drive and also just a reminder that hard drives don’t affect performance just things like loading and downloading speeds
I could connect to sidequest on my pc and then there was an update and it hasn't been going green at all since. I really need this to work because I want the upgraded textures back. Any ideas on why it won't turn green anymore?
When I was setting up the phone sidequest this morning after watching yesterday's video I was thinking "I wonder if we could do the whole thing inside the headset". 3 hours later here it is .. Cas you are 👌
This reminds me of the Homebrew Channel when the Wii came out. It unlocked so much potential for that little machine. The Wii was capable of doing some truly wonderful stuff. Now, it's the future and homebrew has made the leap from game consoles to the Quest. Hopefully more magnificent programs will be made available for years to come.
I talked to some of the devs and they said that USB is always needed to enable wifi. When asked about an official native quest version, a mod said "it's not something that can currently be considered as it's against ToS to have secondary storefront apps." This probably means that this workaround will be the best we can get unless the ToS change (its pretty unlikely for them to change in a positive way)
I was so excited until it got to the part where you have to activate adb over wifi with a PC or phone. Might as well do what needs to be done with that rather than from the headset. Now if it was persistent through reboot, that would be so handy.
"Maybe I'm just lazy" isn't that all the time you do something else because it's easier? also i still love how the intro and outro are cut literally before Cas manage to finish her sentence
Awesome tutorial, thank you! Can't wait to do this. Also ...no merch link? I luuuuuv your shirt. I so hope that SideQuest becomes a native app, it's such a hassle trying to get my phone & the quest talking to each other nicely.
changing the resolution with sidequest on the headset will make the screen have a black bar on the right side of the screen, only way to fix it is to use side quest on pc to change the resolution or restart the headset. any tips on how to stop this?
This is awesome!!! Thank you. Do you think this will retain SideQuest settings such as texture and video recording resolution even when you shut off the device now that SideQuest is in the Quest2? Thank you so much!
I only have a surface go will that be enough to use sideloafing, basically does the app use the wifi to run the games or does it use the pc, if so It would allow me to actually use it without having to get a pc
Do you know how to exit the app once loaded. All up and running fine but can not quit when you reset you have to you cable again to authorise is that what you have to do each time or do you choose don’t ask me again many thanks new to this but getting there 🤗
Ik you might not respond but there’s this problem where the when it’s retrieving a game and when it finish’s retrieving it say side quest has stopped so it doesn’t download anything
I love all your videos ! Please continue The great work. It Looks like I can no longer set my default texture size using side quest . So I tried installing side quest into my headset and it still does not work . I tested this by trying to go to 512 And then up to 3072 , and there was no difference in either case. Used to be easily visible . Any suggestions?
I would love to know how to use side quest without a pc or android phone on my Quest 2. I don’t use a pc anymore, my pc is super old. I use the iPad Pro and I have an iPhone. 🤷🏻♀️
Cx file explorer works to install apks, i lost my usb c cord but still have the cx file apk in my headset im going to try to install sidequest app threw cx file explorer on my headset without the cord
My computer is ten years old and my phone is an iPhone. I love the Quest 2 headset but unfortunately, I'm missing out on all the cool side quest games. Sucks.
@@CasandChary you can downgrade iOS to 13.3.2 and then you can jail-brake your iPhone to get google play store and then you can get side quest but I’m not sure if this works and this is a lot of work. I suggest watching a tutorial on it and maybe give it a try to see if it works.
since you can get ALVR which is kind of like virtual desktop im pretty sure in the sidequest- are you able to play as pc vr using the side quest without pc or android? Because i have a low gpu laptop and an iphone-
The answer to that is a definitive no. Being able to sideload the ALVR client app on your Quest does not magically endow your laptop with the specs to run PCVR. Remember, you need to be running the ALVR server on your pc in order to then stream it onto the ALVR client on the Quest.
Normally I always have to do step 2 again whenever I want to use WiFi to sideload for some reason. Is it different here? Side quest will ‘remember’ the quest and I won’t have to do this again?
After connecting my phone to quest via USB cable (keeping the sidequest app started on phone) I don't get any pop ups.. neither on phone nor in quest.. so not able to connect.. any help or suggestions please???? I am using a OnePlus 6 and Quest 2 and have enabled the developer mode on Quest 2
Hi Cas, just curious about the disclaimer; the quick shot you included lists those content guidelines under developer policies. So does this actually matter for an end user? Yes we have enabled developer mode in order to sideload but we are not the developer of a potentially offending app; wouldn’t those policies apply directly to the app creator and not broadly against any users they distribute their app too? I realize this isn't the focus of this video but your disclaimer raises concerns and that screenshot made me unsure and curious.
dam, here i thot this sidequest app was gonna make things simpler. doing all those steps and or having to repeat them each time sounds like a pain. Can we not just go to the sidequest site in the browser (if the oculus has an internet browser) and download directly onto the quest?
I didn’t work for me I can’t use the side quest apk and the mobile app after downloading a game it disconnects I literally can’t download pokemon vr that is the only game I want 😂

Been watching this channel since getting my Quest a month ago. Still have no idea who Chary is lol. Team Cas! :p
Does it work on normal computer
best vr channel out there
Nice! I mentioned this in the comments in your last video so its cool to see a video about it
Awesome! Getting it set up right on the Quest 2 was super simple. Tysm
I was so excited but then I have a iPhone and no pc is there a method where you can do it off of iPhone?
I haven't found anything right now, but I'll do some research. If I find anything I'll let you know.
Install a android version onto your iPhone but backup your phone to Icloud
Thank you for all your hard work and great information.
Thank you for watching 🙌
Ive personally not left VR since buying on. Hopefully wont have any eye issues.

wow thanks you helped me out, thanks for sharing this, keep up!
"Maybe I'm just lazy" isn't that all the time you do something else because it's easier?
also i still love how the intro and outro are cut literally before Cas manage to finish her sentence
Once set up do you need to be connected to any device while side loading or can it be done wirelessly after set up
Thats handy for changing the resolution display settings 😎👍
Awesome tutorial, thank you! Can't wait to do this. Also ...no merch link? I luuuuuv your shirt.
I so hope that SideQuest becomes a native app, it's such a hassle trying to get my phone & the quest talking to each other nicely.
Sidequest wont be native until oculus ToS changes
Thanks, u make me happy again
You are doing an amazing job. Thank you
Correct me if I'm wrong but those content guidelines are for developers not people downloading the content and playing it

Also curious. Lol
Hey! great video but I have a question. Can you do this on an Apple phone and if you can please tell me how. Thanks
I saw her answer this below, she said currently no. I'm guessing they will eventually though.
Thanks for the info!
VR Get better and better every day 🥰🥰🥰
This is awesome!!! Thank you. Do you think this will retain SideQuest settings such as texture and video recording resolution even when you shut off the device now that SideQuest is in the Quest2? Thank you so much!
Do you have to do the side quest on computer too or just the phone and oculus can I just do the phone and not the computer
I am gonna try it now
See WHAT I MEAN!?!?! You’re amazing! Thank you for this!!
Awesome video! Thanks!
I only have a surface go will that be enough to use sideloafing, basically does the app use the wifi to run the games or does it use the pc, if so It would allow me to actually use it without having to get a pc
Will you be able to get updates?
This is my favorite channel for anything Quest2. I love everything you do. And you are so cute as well.
Do you know how to exit the app once loaded. All up and running fine but can not quit when you reset you have to you cable again to authorise is that what you have to do each time or do you choose don’t ask me again many thanks new to this but getting there 🤗
So , can we run ADB command directly in the Quest 2 ?
So does this make it a main quest now?
Hi cas!! Does this allow us to do BMBF modding for beat saber through this new mobile app?
Great job my friend! 🍹cheers.. you brought the cup up front for me, awww.
Can sidequest improve the resolution/quality of airlink?
This is insane!
Was there anything in the mug?
How do you use the APK file because it doesn't work on my bugjeager app.
can you help i got sidequest on my chromebook plugged the cable in allowed debugging and it says connected to google coral
Thanks Cas.
This is great news!!
Woah! This is muuuuuch better.
I like it too 👀
You can download free games from sidequest to oculus quest 2, from this app?
Does this mean we can now download custom songs for Beat Saber and Synth Riders without a PC?
Hi, if a upload a game with sideload method, i can be banished cause this? in oculus quest 2
Ik you might not respond but there’s this problem where the when it’s retrieving a game and when it finish’s retrieving it say side quest has stopped so it doesn’t download anything

Hahaha NOO not forever!!
@@CasandChary your to late now xD
You still need to put you as a developer account? I think this is missing and important to say before step 1 for those who haven’t done anything yet

You can actually now sideload the Quest native SideQuest through SideQuest itself

When sidequest is downloaded to the phone...do you have to put credit card information on the sidequest app to purchase paid games?
Nice video Cas. Many thanks. Kaz. x. ...
Glad to hear! Curious to hear whether you are going to use SQ on mobile or within VR now? :D
Hello Cas, at the moment I’m happy using Virtual Desktop and Side quest as before. ...... x. ......
So how do I update sidequest to new version in quest2 headset ? Is it needed ?
Does a laptop work?

VR deck dips?
Does the wifi setting on the PC app revert to non wifi when it’s restarted.
Do you need developer mode
Yes
Normally I always have to do step 2 again whenever I want to use WiFi to sideload for some reason. Is it different here? Side quest will ‘remember’ the quest and I won’t have to do this again?
If you don't turn off the headset after enabling WiFi then it stays enabled!
1. I don't have 'library' but found I need to go to apps instead. 2. When I launch sidequest app there is no wifi option at bottom.
Thumbs up who love Cas and Chary👍🏽
When Facebook comes down on players for using sidequest you can recoup your loss by shorting FB stock.
Hope theres an apps in android for mix reality video cause it only support in ios
I did all the steps , but it’s not showing up in my unknown sources
no developer mode?
your amazing
After connecting my phone to quest via USB cable (keeping the sidequest app started on phone) I don't get any pop ups.. neither on phone nor in quest.. so not able to connect.. any help or suggestions please????
I am using a OnePlus 6 and Quest 2 and have enabled the developer mode on Quest 2
U have to except the prompts on the oculus head set saying something like trust this company or something like that
I did that but it's not staying green on the phone on side quest
When I changed my resolution on the mobile app, it won’t register that I changed it, same with the video recordimg quality. Any ideas?
Mine says not connecting you may need to allow or whatever in the headset and nothing pops up help me
You are 😎 awesome!!!
Thank you for this. Done:-)

It is easier now to install the custom home environments
I wonder what it means for beat saber
This software is actually good the only problem is i have to do the internet thing every time
however, there will be no more customer for the side quest in the near future. It's much more easier to use the air link and steam for average users.
Can't enable wifi(Android) 😢
what would be some things that you wouldnt be allowed with side loading?
Everything on here! developer.oculus.com/policy/content-guidelines/
