Meta Quest now doubles as a screen for HDMI devices with new app

Meta has introduced the HDMI Link app for Quest 3, Quest 2, and Quest Pro headsets, allowing users to connect HDMI devices like gaming consoles and laptops.

This app offers a cost-effective alternative to video glasses but requires a UVC/UAC compatible capture card, available for under $20.

Users can install the app on their headset, connect their device to the capture card via HDMI, and plug it into the headset. This setup enables near-zero latency viewing of video feeds at 1080p and 60fps on a resizable screen.

While future Quest models may support DisplayPort over USB-C, the HDMI Link app currently enhances the versatility of existing hardware for gamers and content consumers alike.
