  • Hi Thisfunnyman​ 🙂

    If you are owner/admin on both headsets with the same account, no app sharing is needed.

    Games are tied to your account, not to the headset, and you can install them on multiple devices.

    But most games won't allow you starting a game on the same account on two headsets at the same time. So you'll need a secondary account for your nephew's to play with them.

    Add the account to the headset that you wanna give to them and enable app sharing on that device.

    Add additional Meta Horizon profiles to your Meta Quest

    Turn on app sharing on Meta Quest

      there is no admin option when i tried to set it up... i created a account for them followed all the steps... put my account on  the head set as well  but none of the games are in the library on the one headset.

        No, there is no option  for that..... the account that is used to setup the Quest automatically becomes the device owner/admin of the headset.

        You must setup the Quest with your account and then add your nephews account to the headset.

        If I understand you correctly, you did it the other way around. 
        Only the device owner is able to share apps. If you are the secondary account - like you are now -  none of your games are available in your nephews library.

        You must factory reset the Quest and  set it up with your account.....then do the steps from my first post.

        I'm really sorry for misleading you☹️..... you said you've two devices, so I simply thought, they are already set up with your account.
