These features and enhancements will become available starting the week of August 8th, 2022.
Meta Accounts
We’ll begin rolling out a new Meta account structure in August 2022 that gives people more flexibility and control in VR. You’ll no longer be required to log into your Meta VR devices with a Facebook account. This also means:
We’re also evolving your Oculus profile to a new Meta Horizon profile, which you can customize as you see fit.
Your “Friends” will now become “Followers,” similar to Instagram’s existing model.
You’ll have the option to add your Facebook and/or Instagram account to the same Accounts Center as your Meta account, which unlocks connected experiences in VR.
We’re rolling out new controls to help you more easily manage your privacy settings.
Meta Quest Guide
We are rolling out the Meta Quest Guide. Now users can:
Watch device and feature tutorials
Check out what's new in our latest Meta Quest software release notes
Find answers to top questions and get troubleshooting tips to fix problems
Note, this will be rolling out to users gradually over time.
Help others find great discussions and answers by adding kudos and marking solutions to your questions.
V43 continues to have connection problems with Link and Air Link. It loses connection if the headset has been sleeping for extended (2+ hours) or after disabling Link/Air Link to return to the headset .Restarting the headset or the ovrservice on Windows is often required to reconnect. If the cable is connect sometimes toggling between cable and Air will reconnect.
I recently noticed that when I disable Link to return to the headset that the Oculus desktop program will close and restart. I didn't notice this behavior in earlier versions but certainly the connection is lost until the program is restarted. This may be the cause of the lost connection.
I did not want "more flexibility and control" ... just wanted my VR headset to continue working... like it was. Before I fell for the con "transfer to Meta... it'll be great.. it's easy... just swallow this." Now all I want is to go back before I ever heard of Meta.... when my headset still worked.
