Update March 25th: Meta Store support told me that the latest mobile app Version 259 was released with a fix to resolve the issues described in this thread. So, the resolution was given officially. Thank you Meta for the fix, and thanks everyone in this thread as your voices indicated how this issue was significant. 😄

----------

During setup of Oculus Go by Meta Quest for iOS Version 257.0.0.9.106, I could not play "Health and safety" video, although I pressed "Watch Video" button. As a result, I cannot complete setup my Oculus Go. How do I proceed with the next steps? I also tried the setup by Meta Quest for Android, but the symptom is all the same.  Version 258.0.0.9.109 released on Marth 13th also show the same symptoms. Still the setup fails and the headset becomes useless.

 

I can click "Continue" button. But all the three links are inactive.  

 

 

As the video never starts, I cannot complete the setup. My headset becomes a photoviewer of single image prompting me to grab smartphone.

Please factory reset and try again. I just tried it. Someone at meta is a kind soul. Cheers.

It works again!  Try it again.  They must have change something server side because now you can watch the video and complete setup.  I just did it!  I’m on iOS. It hasn’t worked for the last few weeks and now it does.

Thanks for the heads up. I tried again with my iPhone and setup post-factory reset does work now, my device is now fully setup and operational. Back to normal. Nice. My gratitude to whomever made the necessary to get us through this hurdle.

OMG OMG!  After weeks of messing around and trying over and over, it finally works on my Oculus Go!!!

Dear bigtone 2000, please continue to reset to factory settings and try again. I needed to do it about 10 times.

Hope it works.

Its 2025! And it is still not working. Factory reset 3 times. And still stuck at the video page like what others had mentioned.

PlayfulParrot672  you need to use an older version of the android app to get it to work.

Oculus Go set up

Same problem - stuck at the health and safety video which will not play so can't continue setup.

Follow Oculusness instructions. Everything is there and works like charm. Dont forget to uninstall current meta horizon before installing old one.
