Enterprise deployment of Meta Horizon Link: How to disable auto-updates for 150 Lab PCs?
We admin VR/Immersive software at a University. We currently deploy Meta Horizon Link to ~150 PCs and its used for Unity VR development with Meta Quest headsets. Students do not have admin rights. When the app auto-updates, the main software installs fine, but the driver updates fail because they trigger a UAC (Admin) prompt that students cannot accept. This leaves the software in a broken state until IT manually intervenes. The rolling/unpredictable release schedule makes this hard to plan for during a teaching term/semester. What we found so far Config: We found the new "Disable Auto-Updates" toggle in the UI, but it appears to be user-specific and stored as a binary BLOB in a local SQLite DB (data.sqlite). We are hesitant to script edits to this file on login as it seems brittle compared to a standard Registry key (?). Network: We are thinking of using a Windows Firewall rule to block the updater exe (OVRServiceLauncher.exe) to "freeze" the version for the term/semester. The trade-off is this would likely block the ability to download new store apps/experiences (though our primary use case is Unity dev, so this might be acceptable). Questions Has anyone successfully managed this in an enterprise/education environment? Or have any good hacks :) Is there a more robust way to disable updates than the firewall block? If you use the firewall method, have you run into any major side effects? Thanks!
Meta Quest Link not working anymore, stuck on grey loading screen
Hi! I'm really hoping that I'll get the help I need the help I need and been searching for weeks now. Here's the issue: I installed Meta Quest Link in order to use my Oculus Rift S, followed every instructions needed and I've been able to make it work without any issues. The actual interface once with the headset worked properly, I was using it like normal until when I tried to launch the ''First Steps'' experience for the first time, I ended in a loading screen on the headset and this screen above this text appeared on my PC within the Meta Quest Link app, it seems like I'm stuck in an eternal loading screen. I tried to close it and restart the app, nothing. I've even uninstall the app to reinstall it after, still nothing, repaired the app with ''OculusSetup'', also nothing. I can't make it past this loading screen and be able to use my headset like normal. I don't know what to do, I tried everything in my power. PLEASE HELP ME!Meta Quest Link Login Broken
I'm having an issue where I can't log in to the Meta Link app, the browser login gives a too many redirects error(I erased cookies and cache to no avail), and using an email logi,n it says something is incorrect even though my credentials are right. Any advice would be appreciated
The Meta Quest Link installation is failing.
I'm unable to install the Meta Quest Link app on my PC. After accepting the terms of use, I should be able to select a drive for installation, but I'm only getting an error message saying I don't have enough space. My system has nearly 2 TB of free space, but I can't select either of my drives. Could someone help me with this?
No option to disconnect VR-headset via PC (Air Link)
Situation/Context: I am in a position where I work with multiple Meta Quest 3 VR-headsets (one at a time, but multiple lying around). Since I do not work alone these multiple Meta Quest 3's belong to a pool of VR-headsets, freely usable by anyone around. Problem: When having a Meta Quest 3 linked to a computer via the Meta Quest Link app (Air Link), a new connection with another Meta Quest 3 cannot be established — neither is it possible to have multiple VR-headsets connected at the same time, nor does a new connection (attempt) disconnect the current one. If a VR-headset is connected to some computer and not actively disconnected, it will try to connect to this very computer everytime both devices are turned on and connected to the same WiFi. If the paired VR-headset is now being used by someone else, who is not using the Air Link option, this very connection stays active. As a result the computer, which is still linked to the now-away-VR-headset, cannot be used with another VR-headset — neither via Air Link, nor via a cable connection. There simply is no option from the pc-side to cancel an active connection. Restarting the Meta Quest Link app (through the beta-version feature) will result in the connection being instantly established again. This also happens after restarting the entire computer — as soon as the Meta Quest Link app has started and the WiFi connection is active, the paired VR-headset is connected again. Further questions: Are there any methods to disconnect a vr-headset-pc-connection without access to the vr-headset? Any other tipps to avoid the above described situation (other than 'just disconnect the VR-headset before you stop using it')? Possible solution: Adding a button inside the Meta Quest Link app to actively disconnect a VR-headset would solve this issue in an instant. I would think that there are a couple of people out there who are developing with the Meta hardware and would appreciate such a feature (as to no longer hunt for the currently connected VR-headset and politely ask the current user to disonnect the Air Link connection..). ThanksDJBOT Horizon Worlds Quest Link Headset Microphone / Oculus Virtual Audio Device MONO not STEREO
It's 2024.. Can we get Stereo? Not MONO? Please consider this feature request.. When users want to input audio via Quest Link Device under Windows I believe it utilizes the only Windows Device on the Recording Tab called "Headset Microphone / Oculus Virtual Audio Device" to do this. Alot of users using Horizon Worlds want to DJ Music via Spotify etc. This is how its done. Yet what most don't understand is its being sent through a Mono 1 channel 16bit 48khz Device Driver? (correct me if I am wrong) After years of testing this it appears it definately MONO as playing any Beatles Stereo panning song results in not ever hearing 1 of the LEFT or RIGHT channels eg. voice of singer. OPTIONS Add a second device "LINE IN" for this which is 2 channel stereo for audiophiles. Add 2 channel stereo to the exiting "MICROPHONE" device. MOST URGENT give us an option to toggle any Noise Cancellation that is done on this device. Most of the quiet parts of music becomes rather GLITCHED lagg sounding most likely due to the filter that has to be applied for MIC users? There really is no need for this using Quest Link.

MQDH and Meta Quest Link now have the same icon and that's terrible
As of a recent Link update, it now shares the exact same icon (and first two words) with MQDH. As one of your developers, this is terrible. This is how it now looks on the taskbar. It's a very tiny thing, but it's also the tiniest thing for you to NOT do that. It just adds a constant annoyance for your devs that should have been totally avoidable. I get that this is probably tied up with Branding and people who do not live in the same reality as developers, but just do SOMETHING to differentiate them. I'll also note that when you bring up Link, you still get the blue meta logo, so use the blue one for the taskbar, maybe?
