Startup in Secondart User Account

Two questions on the Quest2

1. Is there axway to boot up in the secondary user account rather than the primary? 

2. Sometimes it boots up to the primary user and says "Continue" instead of the screen that defaults to the primary user but allows you to switch. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the state when I powered down. What's going on?

Hi there @hjschw94,

 

Thank you for posting in our forum regarding your problem. I can see your have some questions on how to start up your Quest under the secondary user and we're very happy to answer! In order to start up your Quest 2 as the secondary user, you will need to start up the quest and access the universal menu. You can access the universal menu at any time by pressing  Meta button for VR headset controllers  / oculus icon  on your right touch controller.

 

Next, you will need to hover over the clock on the left side of the universal menu and access the quick settings. Once you have done this you will then need to open the quick settings panel, select settings in the top right, then select accounts. This should allow to select the intended account you want to play on.

 

These steps should help you with both of your questions but in the event that you are still having some trouble with this, please report back to us and we will look and different steps to take together!

Perhaps I didn't make myself clear. I want to know if it is possible for the quest 2 to open upon bootup in the secondary account rather than the primary account. I followed your instructions above, but the next time I booted up, it was to the primary account just as before.

Hi, after looking into this issue for you we have found you can only sign in at boot with the profile of the device owner. You can have a secondary account on the Meta Quest but it will always boot into the main account first.

We hope this helps and if you have any other questions let us know.
