The Meta Quest 3 is a remarkable virtual reality headset that offers an immersive experience, but its true potential can only be fully realized by enabling developer mode. In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of turning on developer mode for your Meta Quest 3.
1. Start at developer.oculus.com
The journey to developer mode begins on the Oculus developer website. Here’s how to get started:
- Visit developer.oculus.com in your web browser.
- Log in using your Meta Quest account credentials.
- Once you’re logged in, navigate to the “My Apps” section at the top of the page.
2. Verify Your Oculus Developer Account
Before proceeding, you’ll need to verify your Oculus developer account. This involves either adding a credit card or setting up two-factor authentication (2FA).
- Follow the on-screen instructions to verify your account. You can either add a credit card or set up 2FA, but it’s essential to complete this step.
3. Create an Organization
To enable developer mode, you’ll need to create an organization. Follow these steps:
- In the top left corner of the developer portal, under “Account Manager,” select “Select Organization.”
- Click on “Create” to generate a new organization. The name of the organization doesn’t have to be anything specific. Just ensure that it’s a unique name that hasn’t been used before.
- Read and agree to the terms and conditions by clicking “I understand” and then “Submit.”
- You’ll be prompted to review the developer non-disclosure agreement. Click “I agree” and then “Submit” to proceed.
4. Enable Developer Mode on Your Meta Quest 3
Now that you’ve set up developer mode on the web portal, you’ll need to complete the process on your Meta Quest 3:
- Open the Meta Quest app on your mobile device, ensuring that you’re using the same account you used for the previous steps.
- Tap the “Menu” located at the bottom of the app.
- Select “Devices” from the menu options.
- Make sure that your Meta Quest 3 is connected and recognized by the app.
- Under “Manage Your Device,” select “Headset Settings.”
- Locate the “Developer Mode” option and switch it on.
For a smooth experience, it’s a good idea to turn your headset off and then back on.
