Quest Quest Device Setup Guide

1. Open up the Oculus app and select 'Create new account'

2. Select 'Create Oculus account using email'

3. Enter in the email you created for the device you are setting up. Each device will need its own email address.

4. Create a password. I recommend using the same password for all the Oculus devices you setup, just for simplicity. Make sure you remember what the password is, especially if you have different ones for each device!

5. Create a username. I recommend using a naming convention like companyxyz_1 for device #1, and company_xyz_2 for device #2. This will make things a lot easier to manage, especially as you get more devices in the future.

6. Just put your name here. It doesn't really matter. You don't need a different name for each device.

7. I recommend changing both of these settings to 'just you' for privacy. It shouldn't be a problem if you aren't connected to Facebook. Just tap on the option to change it.

8. You don't need to add a credit card. This is just for if you want to purchase games and apps from the Oculus store. If you don't intend to make purchases on the store, just skip this. You can setup a card later if you change your mind.

9. You'll be asked to create a pin. This isn't super relevant unless you plan on making purchases, but its probably a good idea to select the same pin for each device you setup. Make sure you remember it or write it down.

1. Select the Oculus Quest option to start setting it up

2. Click 'Start'

3. Plug in your headseat by following the instructions. You should see a yellow light show up on the side of your headset. Click 'continue'.

4. Press and hold the power button for 2 seconds to turn the headset on.

5. For this step, you will need to make sure Bluetooth is turned on on your phone.

Place the headset on your head. Adjust the straps on the top and side until you can clearly read what is on the display. If the display looks blurry, then your straps aren't adjusted correctly.

Once the headset is on, you should see a code displayed in the bottom right hand corner. Enter that code in your Oculus app.

6. Choose a wifi network.

PLEASE NOTE: This step is unlikely to work properly on your company's wifi network if you work in a big organisation and/or requires you to login in an online webpage. Most organisations have firewalls and all kinds of things setup that will block devices such as the Oculus Quest from completing the installation in the next step. A lot of organisations also require you to authenticate on a webpage, which won't work for this purpose. You need to use a wifi network that you can just connect to without any bells and whistles e.g. your home network.

We've gotten around this before when setting up multiple devices on a university campus. We set up a wifi hotspot on a phone, and just tethered our device to it. If you are unsure, go see your IT department and they may be able to complete the rest of the setup for you or get you sorted out.

7. Insert a battery into each controller, and press 'Next'

8. Pair the controllers.

9. Select the language

10. Add a credit card if you want to make purchases on the Oculus store. Otherwise, select 'Add later'

11. Play the Oculus safety video. You'll have to play this video every time you setup a new device, as there is no way to skip it.

12. Acknowledge the safety warning.

13. Your headset is now all set up on the Oculus App. The instructions will tell you to put the headset on to complete setup, but we'll want to complete an extra step (turning on developer settings) before we do that.

1. On the main menu, select 'Settings'

2. Select your device > more settings

3. Select 'Developer mode'

4. Turn on the developer settings
