Assign apps for organization-managed Meta Quest devices in Shared Mode

Copy link
This article is only applicable to admins who manage Meta Quest devices in Admin Center. If you use a third-party device manager then that’s where you manage apps.
After you have added apps to Admin Center, you can assign them to your organization’s devices.
This article covers how to assign apps to Shared Mode device presets and devices. Learn how to assign apps to Individual Mode devices.
Note: Apps from the Meta Horizon Store can’t be assigned to Shared Mode devices that don’t require login with a managed Meta account. Only private apps can be assigned to these devices. If a Shared Mode device does require login, then Meta Horizon Store apps and private apps can be assigned.

Assign apps for Shared Mode devices and device presets

You can assign apps when you configure a device independently in Shared Mode or create a Shared Mode device preset. To assign apps to existing Shared Mode devices or device presets:
  1. Click Devices in the left menu of Admin Center.
  2. Then:
    • If you’re managing apps for an independently configured device, click the name of the device in Managed devices.
    • If you’re managing apps for a device preset, click Device presets in the Devices menu then click the name of the device preset.
  3. Select the Apps tab.
  4. Click Manage apps (for device presets) or Assign apps (for independently configured devices).
  5. Click Assign required apps.
  6. Search for the app and click on its name when it appears, then click Assign.
Apps are scanned for compatibility with Shared Mode. There will be a notice informing you of compatibility. If you add an incompatible app to a Shared Mode device, the app may not function properly.

Choosing appropriate apps

If a Shared Mode device does not require an account, then people have to be 13 years of age or older (subject to applicable legal requirements where you reside) to use it. Ensure you choose apps that are appropriate for anyone who may use the device in Shared Mode.
People have to be 18 years of age or older (depending on the age of legal majority where you reside) to use a Share Mode device that requires an account. Learn more about age requirements.
