Configure Meta Horizon Link

Configure Meta Horizon Link for faster iteration.

For faster iteration time, you can use Meta Horizon Link to run your project on your Meta Quest headset directly from the Unity Editor. Using Link removes the need to build and deploy your app every time you want to test your changes.

Important

Meta Horizon Link is only supported on Windows.

To enable Meta Horizon Link:

  1. Set up Meta Horizon Link on your PC.
  2. Go to Edit > Project Settings > XR Plug-in Management.
  3. In the Windows, Mac, Linux tab, under Plug-in Providers, disable XR Simulation if it's enabled, and enable OpenXR.
  4. While still in the Project Settings window, go to XR Plug-in Management > OpenXR.
  5. In the Windows, Mac, Linux tab, under Interaction Profiles, add Oculus Touch Controller Profile.
  6. Under OpenXR Feature Groups, enable the Meta Quest feature group.

When you enter Play mode, the current scene plays in both your headset and the Game view.

Note

Although the Android build target is required to build your app for Meta Quest devices, Standalone project settings apply in Play mode.
