      Install Guide: Meta Quest

      How to install Bodyswaps for Quest (Consumer and Business)

      There are two versions of the Quest currently on the market - the consumer and business editions.

      Oculus Store (Consumer Quest)

      You’ll need an Oculus Quest, Quest 2 or Quest 3 headset that is set-up and linked to a Meta account. If you haven’t set-up your device yet then please look on the Meta set-up website for instructions.
       
      You can then download Bodyswaps from the Quest App Store as part of the App Lab section of the site. There are few ways to do this:

      Option 1: Via a web browser

      By far the easiest way!
      The app should shortly automatically install onto your headset.

      Option 2: Via the Oculus mobile app

      You would have used the Oculus mobile app as part of the Oculus set-up process so it should be on your mobile phone already. Find the Oculus app and run it.
      • In the app click on the store tab
      Screen capture of the Quest app homepage and store link with the store and search icons circled.
      • Click on the search icon at the top and type “bodyswaps”
      • Click on the Bodyswaps app to install - ignore the “This app may be experimental or still in development” message.
      • Accept the App Lab pop-up and click purchase / install

      Option 3: Inside the headset

      Lastly, you can install it using the Oculus Store in the headset
      • From the Oculus Home dashboard click on Store
      • Click the search icon and type “bodyswaps”
      Quest VR interface showing Bodyswaps app in the search results within the App Store
      • Select Bodyswaps App
      • Accept the App Lab warning
      • Click OK on the App Lab Purchase / Install (the app is free)
       
      Screen capture of App Lab notification about Bodyswaps app being experimental or in development, with an "OK" button and a close button.

      Third-party MDMs & Sideloading

      You can install Bodyswaps using the following MDM / tools:
       
      • Previously, using a consumer Quest required the administrator to use a Facebook account, however, you can now use a "Meta account" (link to information page). Meta accounts can be quickly created with any email. Existing Facebook accounts can be migrated to a Meta account relatively painlessly. 
      • You can use a third-party MDM such as Arbor XR or Manage XR for a monthly fee. Using an MDM like Arbor XR or Manage XR allows you to install our app (and any other ones you may be using) remotely on a fleet of devices. If you are using Arbor XR or Manage XR and would like to be added to our Bodyswaps distribution list, please contact your Customer Success team member or email support@bodyswaps.co for further details.
