Hey @GrandpaRonald, thanks for reaching out to us over social media about your difficulty connecting with your friends on the Quest. We totally get why this is a problem and want to help you! Meta extended its Oculus platform capabilities to allows users to create invite links from their smartphone and then send the link to their friends—by text, email, DM, etc—that when clicked would automatically launch the correct app and send all users into the same space to play together. 

How to Use Invite Links on Quest

If you want to create a Quest invite link to join friends in VR, start by launching your Oculus smartphone app.

  1. In the Oculus smartphone app click the ‘Menu’ button (three lines icon)
  2. Select ‘Invite Links’
  3. Select a supported app (ie: Walkabout Mini Golf)
  4. Select the destination that you want to go within the app (ie: the specific course within Walkabout Mini Golf that you want to play)
  5. Select ‘Create Link’
  6. Use the ‘Share’ button to share the link through whatever channel you’d like
  7. Use the ‘Launch’ button to launch the app you chose on your headset and join your friends

Invite links are the perfect way to pre-plan a VR session with your friends and easily meet in the same place without fiddling with any menus or friends lists. Once you’re ready to play, press the ‘Launch’ button from the invite link and your headset will load the selected game and should automatically send you to the same location as your friends. Invite links on Quest are valid for 24 hours from their creation.

worked with support and got it working but clicking on a private or public lobby, if you don't do that your friends will not show up. However when trying with my friend it was not working again. Trying to contact support again.

I am having the same issue...since the last Onward update I cannot see friends within the game who already have a server going. If I create one, whether public or private, they can find me, but I cannot locate them. Help!!! What's going on?

I did not want to send an invite link I should be able to see a green guy of my friends on the server and I cannot see that how can I make that happen
