On screen virtual keyboard not entering text

It will work straight away for text input during messaging and the likes.

Every time the Xbox would show a virtual keyboard on the screen for text input, the keyboard will work.

As for games, the game has to be specifically made to support keyboards.

Not all games are able to use keyboards.

For example Fortnite and Minecraft are popular examples for games that work with an USB Keyboard and USB mouse.

The problem is that the onscreen keyboard or virtual keyboard will not appear whenever I try to search, enter passwords, or text the virtual keyboard never appears the cursor flashes a few times then stops the controller is completely unresponsive the only responsive button on the controller is the home button in the center of the controller which pulls up an onscreen menu that I still can't navigate because no other buttons on the controller are responsive but like I previously said this is only temporary but as soon as I need to pull up the virtual keyboard it happens all over again my virtual keyboard will not appear onscreen

Good evening

Verify your settings: Make sure that your Oculus Quest 2 and AirLink settings are properly configured. Check if there are any specific settings related to on-screen keyboards or text input that need to be enabled.

Check for updates: Ensure that both Minecraft Bedrock and the Oculus Quest 2 firmware are up to date. Sometimes, software updates can introduce new features or fix existing issues.

Try alternative methods: In some VR applications, instead of an on-screen keyboard, you can use physical keyboards connected to your PC or a mobile companion app to input text. Check if Minecraft Bedrock VR supports any alternative input methods.

Use a virtual desktop: If none of the above options work, consider using a virtual desktop application like Virtual Desktop or Oculus Link to connect your Oculus Quest 2 to your PC. This method might provide better compatibility and access to an on-screen keyboard.

Checked both of these before even googling the problem, no luck. May be related to an update or preview

Hi

Perhaps the feature was turned off after a recent update?

Below is a guide on how to check and enable it again if it is indeed turned off:

Turn on game transcription

On Xbox One

1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide, then select System > Settings > Ease of Access > Game transcription.
2. To transcribe other players' voices into text, select Speech-to-text on.
3. To have your chat text read aloud to other players, select Text-to-speech on. To choose the voice that other players will hear when your chat text is read aloud, select one of the available voices in the Text-to-speech voice menu.
4. To have games read aloud certain words that appear on the screen, select Let games read to me.

I already tryed that.
