How do I set up my Oculus Quest 2 headset?

Charge your headset

To start, plug the charging cord into your Oculus Quest 2 Headset and a power source to begin charging it. The charging indicator turns green once it's fully charged. If you haven't already charged your Quest 2, we recommend keeping your headset connected to power while it runs the initial updates.

Create your account

If you're new to Oculus, or using Oculus Quest 2, a Facebook account is required to use your device, apps and the Oculus store. You can create a Facebook account by tapping “Sign Up” on the first screen of the device setup process in the Oculus mobile app.

Adjust your headset fit and view

1. To start, you'll want to gently adjust the lenses by shifting them left, then right until they click into the position that allows you to see what's on the screen most clearly.

2. Next, adjust the side straps. To do this, move the two sliders on either side of the top strap.

   • To loosen the side straps, move the sliders toward the top strap. To tighten the side straps, move the sliders away from the top strap.

   • After you move the sliders, re-center the top strap between the sliders so that the two sides are equal, and the top strap is centered on your head when you put the headset on.

   • Keep in mind, you'll need to remove the headset from your head to re-adjust the side straps with the sliders.

3. If you're wearing glasses, make sure to insert the glasses spacer. When you're ready to put the headset on, put it on from front to back.

4. Place the headset on your head, then remove it and make any additional adjustments to the side straps as needed.

5. Once you've got the side straps set, put your headset back on and adjust the top strap. You can adjust the top strap by pulling apart the velcro and re-attaching it so that your Quest 2 rests lightly on your face and the picture is clear.

6. You can fine tune your headset fit and clarity by gently moving the firm arms on either side of your Quest 2 up and down to adjust the angle of the headset against your face.

Once your headset is adjusted, follow the instructions in-VR and in the Oculus mobile app to complete the setup process.

Troubleshooting

If your Quest 2 stalls while attempting to run the initial updates, please follow the directions in this article.

If you're having trouble completing the setup process in-VR, you may see a pairing code in-VR and you see a pairing code, please follow the steps below:

1. Open the Oculus app on a compatible mobile device. If you don't already have the Oculus app, you can download it from either the App Store or Google Play store using the links next to this text.

2. When you open the Oculus mobile app, you'll continue the setup process which includes: Signing into Oculus with Facebook Setting up a VR profile Adjusting preferences and privacy settings Creating an Oculus Store PIN Adding payment information

3. Once you complete the account setup steps listed above, you may be prompted to select your headset. Select Quest 2. If you don't see Quest 2 listed, make sure that your mobile device has bluetooth turned on. If you still don't see Quest 2, uninstall and then re-install the Oculus mobile app.

4. On the next screen, tap Pair. Your headset will either pair automatically, or ask for the pairing code that was displayed while you were in-VR.

5. After your headset is paired, you can tap Wi-Fi or Controller Issues? and select the issue that you're having. Follow the remaining steps displayed in your Oculus app to resolve the issue.
