Oculus Quest safety instructions: The video at the end of the setup does not play

Can I somehow skip the setup? The setup was attempted with 4 phones: 2 Android and 2 Apple. It didn’t work with any of the phones. I have also reset the Oculus Quest multiple times and re-downloaded the app, but so far, no fix has worked. I haven't found any answers in the community either.

can someone help. 

Thank you

      I managed to solve my issue with the Oculus Quest by using an older version of the app: 176.0.0.10.110. This version works perfectly fine for me since I only use the app for PC streaming. For my needs, this is more than sufficient.

      You will need to download an older app version like com.oculus.twilight_227.0.0.6.52xxxxxxx for your phone (I don't remember the site to download). Meta stopped the support, they are not willing to help (had about 10 contacts)

      But anyway, the quest 1 will not update or let you download games or apps, even the ones made for it.

      I think Quest 1 is dead and no more useable 😞 despite the info from Meta that it will still work.

      Mine was working till last Saturday then stopped

      If downloading games and apps works, please inform us as I already found several people with the same problem

      Edit: there is one tip I got ... create a second account and use the sharing function. He said it worked then, but this is just a silly workaround no real solution

        App Sharing worked for me too. Thanks for the edit. Even if its a "silly" workaround it worked.

          I had the same problem, and I managed to solve it by using an older version of the Meta Quest/Horizon app (version 176.0.0.10.110). I don't play VR games through the Oculus Quest app; instead, I use a PC application in VR. For this, logging into the Quest with the older version of the app was sufficient.

              Go to your browser and put in meta quest APK and you'll see the difference in the files. I went to 176.0 apk

              How does App Sharing work for you? I purchased a few apps on account "A" that I would like to use. I I create a new Account "B", I would need to buy them again to then share them with "A".

              This is ridicoulous. Meta, stop bricking our devices.

              I‘ve got both accounts on my Quest1. I purchased an app within account A, enabled App-Sharing in the settings. Switching to account B and downloaded there. Works well so far. I didn‘t purchased a 2nd time 🙂

              I finally got mine to get past the update 1 of 2 it's been a problem for over 6 months. It wouldn't play the safety video at first so I uninstalled and installed an APK or an older version from the browser store. Next the safety video will continue itself...trust me it took a while but it works

              Had the same issue, tried several older versions. This version works: 283.0.0.12.109. Once you open the app, keep ignoring prompts about outdated version. Proceed to Headsets, Headset Settings, Proceed Setup.

              The Link an discription worked for me. I needed to enable the developer mode on my android to be able to install the apk (older meta app version).

              Hi there!
              I'm currently facing this issue, and I've tried everything in these steps. I've looked for an old tablet of mine that won't take the old app, I've tried using my phone, same issue.
              I've been stonewalled at each turn I go to, and I'm at a loss. Can anyone help me out here, please?

              Do you know someone who owns an iphone? If so, maybe you can borrow it for a few minutes.

              Setup of the Quest 1 works without issues using an iphone. You don't need an older app version for it - I think, there aren't any anyways.
