How do I fix Sidequest not detecting my oculus when it is plugged into my laptop
I've been troubleshooting the issue of SideQuest not detecting Oculus Quest 2, and here's a summary of effective solutions:
Reconnect USB Cable: Unplug and then reconnect the USB cable while ensuring the headset is on. Enable Developer Mode: Verify developer mode is enabled in the Oculus app with the same account used on the headset. Allow USB Debugging in Headset: When connecting to SideQuest, approve the USB debugging prompt in the headset. Enable USB Connection Dialog in Headset: In Quest 2 settings, ensure "USB Connection Dialog" is enabled under Developer settings. Check ADB Drivers: Confirm that ADB drivers are installed and updated correctly on your PC. Try Different USB Ports: Test various USB ports on your PC in case of port-specific issues. Try a Different USB Cable: Use another USB-C cable to check for cable-related problems. Reinstall SideQuest: Uninstall SideQuest, delete leftover files, and reinstall it to resolve potential software issues. Try SideQuest on Another PC/Android Device: Install SideQuest on a different PC or an Android device to check device-specific issues.
These methods are usually effective in resolving the connection problem between Oculus Quest 2 and SideQuest. Feel free to check out my post for more details on any of these fixes!

Hey there traveller!
Sorry you are having trouble, it can be frustrating when things dont work right. Try to follow the setup steps again to make sure you have completed them all correctly. You may also find luck in this driver tutorial for windows users - https://sdq.st/drivers. Please note Windows 7, 8 and 11 are not supported, 32bit windows is not supported on any version and chromebooks are not supported.
I also am experiencing the same issue that was originally reported but I am on a mac. I downloaded the correct version of Sidequest for my Mac OS and even have the developer mode activated on my app. In the quest itself I can see the developer option now but Sidequest is not detecting my oculus and I cannot get the prompts from the oculus to allow access. I have tried restarting my oculus/computer and switching out different cables. Any thoughts?
