This is great, I've done the same using a Shadowcast 2 from GenkiLabs but hated the dangling cables getting in the way.😢 Also you can do this same setup but wireless using an Aurga Viewer (wireless hdmi device) and sideload the Aurga Viewer app apk via sidequest. The latency is minimal and work in wifi direct mode even so doesn't need to be connected to the same wifi router as the Quest.😊
@@husondiyBeen using it on and off this last month and I love it! Gaming with GFN on a larger screen inside the Quest 3 is pretty awesome compared to the small portable monitor I've been using. My only wish is to find some method to charge both devices while being used at the same time.
I swear that if PC emulators for Android evolve a lot in terms of games and productivity multitasking, then I see myself using a Meta Quest + a Redmagic 10 Pro to practically be a PC + monitor, especially since I want to get into programming area which should help a lot with having a giant screen and a portable pocket PC.
DEX can transmit wirelessly, so it needs to be made compatible with Quest3 somehow so you can power the Q3 via USB while using DEX + BT keyboard + BT mouse. Q3 controller and handtracking support would be wonderful but not required if you have keyboard/mouse.
@@TheModeRed you can connect the dex via HDMI to USB-C on the quest 3, in addition, if you add a HUB next to it, you can add a mouse and keyboard to the dex, in addition you can also use a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard.
You dont need a big screen for programming. Trust me, I have a big ass screen (LG Dual Up) and while I found it really comfortable, my notebook monitor is enough.
The only problem is that we have to use the adapters.. I was trying to find a Android Chromecast reciever host software, that way it's wireless.. Let me know if success. If you can turn your Quest into a Chromecast then you can do wireless

The best way I found is to use my elgato s60+ and, then hook that up to a powered USB hub that can charge up to 60 watts and, then plug that I to my headset. Unfortunately too many wires but, it charges and, gets video at the same time. I also have a modified version of that app with all the ads removed. It's a older version though. I used lucky patcher.

Great video, thanks for this, ordered everything and got the app side loaded, gonna try it on my phone first, then wanna try it on my work laptop as I can't install anything on that, would I be able to just plug the hdmi cable from the laptop to the capture card then to quest 3, as shouldn't need the USB c to hdmi cable

Hey mate, tested it this afternoon and it worked like a dream, thanks again for sharing, tried my phone first and then my work laptop, worked great, Monday will be different, working from home now 😁gonna get the pro version of usb camera I think
Hey mate dunno if you would know this but with the USB camera app, I wanted the pro version but it takes you to Google play site to pay, which I think just let's you install it to the devices on your Google account and you can't get the APK, had a look at other ways of getting it but it was always the free one
I still don't know why there is not a built -in app to connect a PC with Quest 3, they only need to have: 1- physical keyboard represantation; 2 - high resolution as Virtual desk, 3 - liberty to move the windows wherever you want 4 - Ability to create multiple virtual screens. I have tried all the third party apps and non does the above.
@@user-rg9lm1nb9e using chroma key passthrough you can or paired directly to headset if that's what you mean that instead of visible physical keyboard. im full virtual now, all physical screens ditched
can you let me know how to enlarge the screen in meta quest 3 using usb camera application? i've completed all installation of APK & devices that you introduced. but the screen in meta quest 3 using Dex is duplicated and too small. and i can't drag the screen to enlarge as you did in your video

I don't get it. TH-cam is available natively on the Quest. Why do you go through all of this, to run it from the phone? Is the phone ultimately more powerful than the Quest 3? Since any game/app on the phone, can be directly installed onto the Quest with Sidequest (as you obviously already know)...
TH-cam app on Quest only streams at 360p, so its worthless. Most people who watch TH-cam in VR use Virtual Desktop and a PC to watch high quality videos.
@@ianwatson5767Not sure if you have checked the native TH-cam VR app on quest recently, but it definitely does not only support 360p. You can watch videos in 4K.
What a great explanation, thank you so much. Unfortunately, once I sideloaded the USB camera and connected the cables to the S24U and the Quest 3, I can't see any app or interface at all anymore within my Q3. When I unplug the capture card from the Q3, the USB camera reappears. I rebooted everything, swapped cables, but nothing seems to solve the issue. Any ideas what could cause this behavior?
@@pangamot74 yeah it worked fine for me, had to allow permissions on the quest but then my phone was there, phone needs to be unlocked of course, it was really small at first but switched the distance and made it larger, works well
The part from the phone to the capture card is only taking in video, there is no power through-put. You would need to use a hub along with it to get power too.
I had a weird configuration with an hdmi cable in between 2 capture cards with USB attachments. It's not ideal but it works. I am still having issues connecting by wifi while using smartview because it cannot find the Quest as a listed device
@@husondiy I got working through with the cables but have not gotten to work Wireless with wifi. I did make sure it was on the same network, but Samsung's smartview would not list the device.
How's the latency through this setup? Actually seemed pretty good when you were watching TH-cam outside of DEX; at least, it seemed like what you were seeing on your phone matched up well with what you saw on your headset.

@husondiy thank you for this. I have the Fold 4 and Q3 and I have yet to use DEX even though I heard about it b4. I used to plug both devices up with an adapter and usb-c on both ends and I was able to manually transfer files back and forth without any sideload (i dont have a pc to SL). After a recent update the auto program no longer comes on asking me if I wasnt to transfer files. Is there a way do transfer files befween devices using DEX? Also is there any type of work around for expanding memory without SL?
Hi there!!! Thanks for the comment. So doing it this way the headset only sees the phone as a video stream as it's coming via the capture card, so data can't be transferred. Memory wise, you can plug an external drive into the headset I believe. Hope that makes sense 👍🏻
I do not understand what I am doing wrong. Dex might not be working cause I could have an issue with the cables. I have tried with samsunf smartview and it does not list the device even though it's on the same wifi. Any suggestions,
Get the Dex software for your computer. Plug the phone into the computer to get dex on the computer. Then Virtual desktop on the headset to use the computer running dex.
Haha great spot. Keeping it for old times sake 🤣. It will work with the switch, we did a video on it here - th-cam.com/video/06aoCMqR2qI/w-d-xo.html PS5, PS4, Switch and more
This is a good way to use headset for DJI drone flying. You can use airscreen on q3 and send with airplay on iphone wireless but I have a fold3 also and it won't send a video signal airscreen accepts. Wierd how you can apple to android but not android to android. Thanks for sharing.
@@husondiy if you have an iPhone, it WILL work, it's the samsung folds that are wierd. WE have DEX and other things that prevent the airscreen from seeing it. I am currently trying other apps that send/receive as I want to use my fold and drone inside the Q3 heaset for FPV.
@@husondiy Just tried to set this up without the phone. If you have RC2 controller you can do the exact same setup as with Dex. Important detail is to have the RC2 controller OFF when connecting. So follow this: 1. You connect capture device to Quest3 2. Open up the application to say "no signal" 3. Connect to the RC2 with RC2 OFF 4. Startup RC2 Et voila: Low latency connection to drone cam!
Apologies, you can get it here: apkpure.com/usb-camera/com.shenyaocn.android.usbcamera/download?_gl=1*1rbll50*_ga*YW1wLXlWZVVleXVVdVNZZEVyTGU2R0RHSUZOR0I0aFhHcW1SMUx2OUVURTVFdnNzaVhBdWVBM2l1azNmTFRVbXdxX2k.
is this the only one that we can connect meta quest 3 to smartphone or PC? i used another HDMI to USB-C type but meta quest 3 didn't recognize it at all... i can't find the USB camera on app display on quest 3. help me to know the reason
@@husondiy yes play sky children of the light. That's a true test of mobile gaming. Not too big but controller compatible and also try clash of clans lol
I noticed that but I was wondering if I could bypass the docker or hub and go straight to the Q3. I also noticed that it was from Ugreen and not Samsung,opps. I'm gonna get one from Amazon $25 bucks. I tried PS remote but only got 720 res. out of it . I hope this is better. And thanks,thanks a lot.@@husondiy
Let me rephrase something. So I can now plug the PS 5 HDMI cable into the Ugreen and plug the output to my Q3 ? I don't have a Samsung phone, just a I phone,but maybe later. Thanks again.
I should get it by 3/1, I'll let you know. Now I'm wondering,I don't have a Samsung phone but I got a Samsung Chromebook Tablet,I wonder if that'll work : ?@@husondiy
@@husondiy Ok, got my stuff in and gave it a go. I am surprised at how good the picture quality is. The only issues I have are: 1) Input Lag - This makes gaming really hard as I have to anticipate where I'm going to be when I press the buttons, and 2) How do you get the Pro version of USB Camera when the Quest doesn't have the Play Store?
@@husondiy The best way I found to do this is to use my Elgato hd60 s+ with a powered USB 3.2 hub with at least 60 watts of power output. You will be able to charge the quest and, power the Elgato at the same time and, you will have no latency. pretty much everything will be plugged into the USB hub and, then the USB hub output gets plugged into the quest. The app is the same one I am using. Unfortunately, even if you buy the app. You will need google play to not have to worry about the ads or, there are other methods of removing the ads. You just have to find the right patching tool. Sadly, getting google services on the quest can cause issues with the quest. At least from what I read in other forums.
@@husondiy I do have a peakdo hdmi to usb-c adapter that I use for my xreal air glasses, It supports power in but, need to test it on my quest to see if it can both charge and, send video. If that works a bit better ill let you know.

Yeh totally agree. Feels like there is a gap for someone to develop something specifically for this
I don't agree. It was a huge fail that you can't charge and use the data at the same time. Makes it borderline unusable.
DEX can transmit wirelessly, so it needs to be made compatible with Quest3 somehow so you can power the Q3 via USB while using DEX + BT keyboard + BT mouse. Q3 controller and handtracking support would be wonderful but not required if you have keyboard/mouse.

Why do you need the green capture card? Can you not just get a straight cable?
You need a capture device, to take the HDMI signal and then send it via USB
The only problem is that we have to use the adapters.. I was trying to find a Android Chromecast reciever host software, that way it's wireless.. Let me know if success. If you can turn your Quest into a Chromecast then you can do wireless

That's a pretty cool feature, it be really cool if you could pop out the apps individually and have them float in vr space.
Yeh if sideloaded apps worked better alongside "proper" apps, that would be awesome 👍🏻
Just want to share. Walmart now has capture cards for 20$ and they work for this

Pretty cool!
Do you actually need the capture card? Can't you go straight from the phone to the Quest with a USBC to USBC cable?

Very few apps use 2x screens in Dex; one is VMware Horizon (hvd) but Android cannot do 2x external displays at once
can I do all of that while I'm connected on my mobile internet??
Yes 100% 👍🏻
@husondiy thank you for this. I have the Fold 4 and Q3 and I have yet to use DEX even though I heard about it b4. I used to plug both devices up with an adapter and usb-c on both ends and I was able to manually transfer files back and forth without any sideload (i dont have a pc to SL). After a recent update the auto program no longer comes on asking me if I wasnt to transfer files. Is there a way do transfer files befween devices using DEX? Also is there any type of work around for expanding memory without SL?
Hi there!!! Thanks for the comment. So doing it this way the headset only sees the phone as a video stream as it's coming via the capture card, so data can't be transferred.
Memory wise, you can plug an external drive into the headset I believe.
Hope that makes sense 👍🏻
I do not understand what I am doing wrong. Dex might not be working cause I could have an issue with the cables. I have tried with samsunf smartview and it does not list the device even though it's on the same wifi. Any suggestions,
same here did you find a solution?
I can't find USB camera on sidequest? Anyone confirm this please
Hello!! You will need to source the apk and sideload it on. I use Apk Mirror

This is genius.
Me or the idea!? 😉😅
"Noir" is a better usb-video input solution for this - no banners
Thanks for this, I will give it a go!!
We're do you get the app? Usb camera is not on sideload page

I'm using Samsung dex for months on quest . But I run it with virtual desktop
Cool - how does that work?
Get the Dex software for your computer. Plug the phone into the computer to get dex on the computer. Then Virtual desktop on the headset to use the computer running dex.
Still got stadia on you Samsung? 😉 awesome video btw , could this work with a Nintendo switch too ?
Haha great spot. Keeping it for old times sake 🤣.
It will work with the switch, we did a video on it here - th-cam.com/video/06aoCMqR2qI/w-d-xo.html
PS5, PS4, Switch and more
@@husondiy i know right! I miss it too. Thanks for your research.
This is a good way to use headset for DJI drone flying. You can use airscreen on q3 and send with airplay on iphone wireless but I have a fold3 also and it won't send a video signal airscreen accepts. Wierd how you can apple to android but not android to android. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the comment!! This is a great idea, I'll see if I can get it working
@@husondiy if you have an iPhone, it WILL work, it's the samsung folds that are wierd. WE have DEX and other things that prevent the airscreen from seeing it. I am currently trying other apps that send/receive as I want to use my fold and drone inside the Q3 heaset for FPV.
@@husondiy Just tried to set this up without the phone. If you have RC2 controller you can do the exact same setup as with Dex. Important detail is to have the RC2 controller OFF when connecting. So follow this:
1. You connect capture device to Quest3
2. Open up the application to say "no signal"
3. Connect to the RC2 with RC2 OFF
4. Startup RC2
Et voila: Low latency connection to drone cam!
Thats awesome!!!! What cable you using between the RC2 and Quest 3?
@@husondiySame setup as in your video. But this only works on RC2 or PRO controller, because of HDMI output support on those.
Wheare i can download app usb camera for quest?

ok you never told us where to find usb camera or how to download it. so this is kinda Useless.
Apologies, you can get it here:
apkpure.com/usb-camera/com.shenyaocn.android.usbcamera/download?_gl=1*1rbll50*_ga*YW1wLXlWZVVleXVVdVNZZEVyTGU2R0RHSUZOR0I0aFhHcW1SMUx2OUVURTVFdnNzaVhBdWVBM2l1azNmTFRVbXdxX2k.
interessante ma a mio avviso poco utilizzabile
Dex would be nice on the quest 3 but no phone.
It certainly would wouldn't it!
Where do you have downloaded USB CAMERA APK?
Hello!! You will need to source the apk and sideload it on. I use Apk Mirror
www.apkmirror.com/?post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk&s=Usb+camera
now if I could just plug an external 3D blu-ray capable drive, and be able to watch my 3D discs, I'd be ecstatic.
That would be cool. If you have a drive that can rip Blu Ray's you can load them onto your device and watch 3D movies directly on there
where did you download video usb from
Hi there!! I use APK Mirror:

you can share the apk?

@@husondiy thanks bro you are the best
Does this also work by Connecting my Laptop via Thunderbolt ?
Yes it should do. Any port that can output to HDMI in theory
Thank
you
Wasn’t totally convinced that audio was passing through, can you confirm??
Hi there!! Yes audio passthrough works!!
@@husondiy fantastic, thanks for confirming!!!!!
is this the only one that we can connect meta quest 3 to smartphone or PC? i used another HDMI to USB-C type but meta quest 3 didn't recognize it at all... i can't find the USB camera on app display on quest 3. help me to know the reason
Have you used a capture card too?
@@husondiy not yet. Does quest 3 recognize capture card only??
The USB Camera app is expecting input from a capture card
@@husondiy I see. I will try with Ugreen capture card. Thanks bro!
No problem 👍🏻
Will this work on Quest 2 also?
It certainly will!!
What usb camera app are you using? I couldn't get this to work
Hello!! I use Apk Mirror
www.apkmirror.com/?post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk&s=Usb+camera
@@husondiy ok but which app on there?
@caseyreynolds9567 the one on that link. USB Camera. The link should take you straight to it
@@husondiy thanks, it's showing 2 different apps and like 10 different versions lol
Now we can have meta vision pro
Whoop whoop! 😎💪🏻
Sorry, the Quest 3 does not provide the resolution to play cystral clear 360 video. It's all low resolution.
Really disappointed they didn't test out a game
I can test a game for you to show it working. Any preference on a game?
@@husondiy yes play sky children of the light. That's a true test of mobile gaming. Not too big but controller compatible and also try clash of clans lol
So I could just plug in my HDMI from the PS5 to the Samsung Dex and then plug the USB C plug to the Q3,,. instead of phone
You can go HDMI from the PS5 into a capture card into your headset.
I covered that in more detail hereth-cam.com/video/06aoCMqR2qI/w-d-xo.html
I noticed that but I was wondering if I could bypass the docker or hub and go straight to the Q3. I also noticed that it was from Ugreen and not Samsung,opps. I'm gonna get one from Amazon $25 bucks. I tried PS remote but only got 720 res. out of it . I hope this is better. And thanks,thanks a lot.@@husondiy
Let me rephrase something. So I can now plug the PS 5 HDMI cable into the Ugreen and plug the output to my Q3 ? I don't have a Samsung phone, just a I phone,but maybe later. Thanks again.
You need
PS5
Hdmi cable from PS5 to capture card
Then capture card plugged into your headset
That should work
I should get it by 3/1, I'll let you know. Now I'm wondering,I don't have a Samsung phone but I got a Samsung Chromebook Tablet,I wonder if that'll work : ?@@husondiy
Its highly unpractical if samsung provides a wirless dex app on the quest 3 that would be awesome tag samsung with that might actually be worth it 👌
Dex is already wireless, you click on dex icon when not plugged in and will search for wireless monitors instead of looking for a wired one
You're correct, but the Quest doesn't automatically appear when doing that. Unless you know of an app that might make this possible?
It really should not take this Frankenstein setup to do something that should be much more easily done through software.
Totally agree! Would be awesome if they had it built in so you can just plug in and go with 1 cable. Or even better, wirelessly!!!
@@husondiy I just ordered my connections from Amazon to give this a try. Thanks for the video, mate!
@@husondiy Ok, got my stuff in and gave it a go. I am surprised at how good the picture quality is. The only issues I have are:
1) Input Lag - This makes gaming really hard as I have to anticipate where I'm going to be when I press the buttons, and
2) How do you get the Pro version of USB Camera when the Quest doesn't have the Play Store?
I did this with the Quest 2 in a number of ways more than a year ago. Made a number of videos explaining the process. This isn't new.
Why aren't my comments posting... Well i woudp tell you a few better ways of doing it but, my comments keep getting deleted.
This one posted
Not deleted by me!! Let us know what you're thinking
@@husondiy The best way I found to do this is to use my Elgato hd60 s+ with a powered USB 3.2 hub with at least 60 watts of power output. You will be able to charge the quest and, power the Elgato at the same time and, you will have no latency. pretty much everything will be plugged into the USB hub and, then the USB hub output gets plugged into the quest. The app is the same one I am using. Unfortunately, even if you buy the app. You will need google play to not have to worry about the ads or, there are other methods of removing the ads. You just have to find the right patching tool. Sadly, getting google services on the quest can cause issues with the quest. At least from what I read in other forums.
@@husondiy I do have a peakdo hdmi to usb-c adapter that I use for my xreal air glasses, It supports power in but, need to test it on my quest to see if it can both charge and, send video. If that works a bit better ill let you know.
I use a elgato hd60 s+ with a powered USB 3.2 hub, with 60 watts of power output. For no latency and, charging the quest at the same time.
Lot of work for an experience a lot worse than just air linking into my pc.
Agreed. But if you're on the go or don't have a laptop for example it's a definite use case
@@husondiy use dex on your phone or tablet? How is that in any way more convenient than my tab s8 ultra and a keyboard dock?
I'm not saying it is. If you have the tablet then that makes sense
Stop by R/ EmulationOnQuest
ah the Samsung Sex! I mean.. Dex!
