You may prefer to run your in-engine tests with an actual headset on your face. Follow these instructions to do that.

Connect the Headset (Link or Airlink)

Following the steps in Connecting Your Headset - Pt.1 Meta Link make sure your headset is on and linked to your computer.

Turn Off the Meta Device Simulator

In Unity, make sure the Meta Device Simulator is toggled of “Off”

Enter Play Mode and Test

As long as your headset is correctly linked to your computer, the game will automatically launch on your headset when you enter play mode. From here, you can test small changes in VR without having to build a full version of the game.

Troubleshooting & Notes

• If you’re using Air Link to connect to your computer, make sure your wifi connection is strong. This is transferring a lot of data, quickly, and can lag if the connection is poor.
• Swap to a standard, cabled Link if you’re having issues with lag.
• This is great for small, iterative testing. For larger tests, refer to Creating Development Test Builds
