How to easily use your Quest or Rift VR headset without Facebook
New Quest users: Create a Meta account
- You’ll first be served up a code to pair your VR headset to the Oculus app. You’ll then see the option to sign in with Facebook or Instagram. Alternatively, you can create a Meta account via email. By choosing the Meta account option, you no longer need a Facebook or Instagram account to use your Quest. You can still log in with those services so that you can perhaps use the Messenger platform, but it’s not required. After setting up a Meta account, you’ll be directed to your Meta Horizon profile setup. Choose a display name, username, and profile picture. Adjust your privacy settings to open to everyone, friends and family, or solo.
