Using either the Air Link or Link Cable to run apps from your PC on your Oculus Quest 2 is a great way to expand what you can do on your Oculus Quest 2 VR headset. However, for many of those apps that you'll want to run, like Roblox, you'll receive an error that says you need to change your settings to allow apps from unknown sources to use them. This is because Meta, formerly Facebook, by default doesn't allow you to run games they haven't reviewed. Thankfully, changing your setting to allow apps from unknown sources on your Oculus Quest 2 is relatively easy.
Now let's walk through the steps to run apps from unknown sources on your Oculus Quest 2 virtual reality headset.
Step 1. Launch the Oculus app on your computer. Your Oculus app home screen opens.
Step 2. Click "Settings" in the menu on the left side of the screen. Your Oculus app settings window is displayed.
Step 3. Click "General" in the menu along the top of this screen. A list of general settings options is shown.
Step 4. Find "Unknown Sources" in this list, and then click the associated toggle to turn on Unknown Sources. A dialog box pops up asking if you're sure you want to allow apps from unknown sources, and letting you know that these apps have not been reviewed by the Oculus team for security, comfort, content, or health and safety.
Step 5. Click "Allow" if you want to move forward with allowing apps from unknown sources on your Oculus Quest 2. Going forward you'll be able to allow apps to run that have not been reviewed by Oculus, such as Roblox.
