Custom Skyboxes In Quest Home

I have been using my Quest 3 on and off and one thing I liked about it is that I could install custom skyboxes and use my Virtual Desktop in a 360 photo I took of my old house (I live in South America). I recently updated my Quest and it seems like this option is no longer there. So is there no way for me to use a custom environment while using Virtual Desktop? I find this really frustrating, it was a feature that worked fine. Either the feature is gone or the option is buried so deep I can't find it. Are custom skyboxes gone?

    Doesn't Meta have their own virtual desktop software that will let you use your computer inside of a virtual environment? Virtual Desktop the app does not allow you to use custom Skyboxes. So you're saying there was a feature that existed, but they took it away, and now there is no replacement?

      Don't you ever use your headset? If you did, you would know the correct names of the apps.

        Wow, what a jerky response. If Facebook didn't change and remove features, it wouldn't be necessary to worry about semantics.

    Custom skyboxes are gone. There are 5 virtual environments you can choose (left menu button). VD has its own virtual rooms and is not Meta software, so I'm not sure what you are talking about there.

      Likewise, I can no longer change the background of my Meta Quest 3 headset's environment, whereas previously I could change it by going to Settings then Environment. If I understand correctly, this option has been removed, and it's therefore no longer possible to change the background of my Meta headset's home screen?

        It's been like that for many months!
