Meta Quest Notes

There are two versions of the Quest currently on the market - the consumer and business editions.

If you have an consumer Quest then continue reading, if you are using Oculus For Business click

here⁠

or finally if you are using an MDM like Arbor XR or SideQuest then click

here⁠

Oculus Store (App Lab)

You’ll need an Oculus Quest or Quest 2 headset that is set-up and linked to an Oculus account. If you haven’t set-up your device yet then please look on the Oculus website:

https://www.oculus.com/setup/?locale=en_GB⁠

⁠

You can then download Bodyswaps from the

Quest App Store⁠

as part of the App Lab section of the site. There are few ways to do this:

Option 1: Via a web browser

By far the easiest way!

Click on this link:

https://www.oculus.com/experiences/quest/3714188128706579/⁠

⁠

Click OK on the App Lab warning

Click Purchase / Install (the app is free)

The app should shortly automatically install onto your headset.

Option 2: Via the Oculus mobile app

You would have used the Oculus mobile app as part of the Oculus set-up process so it should be on your mobile phone already. Find the Oculus app and run it.

In the app click on the store tab

⁠

Click on the search icon at the top and type “bodyswaps”

Click on the Bodyswaps app to install - ignore the “This app may be experimental or still in development” message.

Accept the App Lab pop-up and click purchase / install

Option 3: Inside the headset

Lastly, you can install it using the Oculus Store in the headset

From the Oculus Home dashboard click on Store

Click the search icon and type “bodyswaps”

⁠

Select Bodyswaps App

Accept the App Lab warning

Click OK on the app lab Purchase / Install (the app is free)

⁠

Third-party MDMs & Sideloading

You can install Bodyswaps using the following MDM / tools:

⁠

SideQuest⁠

⁠

ArborXR⁠

⁠

ManageXR⁠

⁠

Oculus For Business⁠

(depreciated)

Please use the Quest direct download link

here⁠

⁠

Notes

Oculus For Business is discontinued and no longer available for purchase. Meta doesn't provide their own MDM solution yet to replace it

Previously, using a consumer Quest required the administrator to use a Facebook account, however they can now use the new "

Meta accounts⁠

". Meta accounts can be quickly created with any email. Existing Facebook accounts can be migrated to a Meta account relatively painlessly.

You can use a third party MDM such as

Arbor XR⁠

for free or for a monthly fee. Using an MDM like Arbor XR or

Manage XR⁠

(a similar solution) allows you to install our app (and any other ones you may be using) remotely on a fleet of devices. We just need your organisation ID to add you to our distribution list.

Unfortunately, for now, in order to install any MDM on a headset, it still needs to be switched into developer mode. This process requires a Meta developer account. We're not sure when Meta will streamline this part of the process.

In the meantime we continue to allow consumer Quest devices to install Bodyswaps via the

App Store⁠

Instructions for Oculus for Business Device Manager

Oculus for Business is Meta’s enterprise solution for Quest that is being depreciated next year. The steps are:

https://my.workplace.com/device_management/⁠

Navigate to Apps and click Add App.

⁠

Enter the URI and hashcode above.

Go to the Devices Fleet tab, click on the desired headsets group and then Apps tab.
