Setting up a new Meta account with email

To set up a new Meta account using your email address, you will need to provide:

  • Email: You can only create one Meta account per email address.

  • ⚠️ Please note, each MetaQuest headset must have a unique Meta account to allow for concurrent usage with Pixaera’s VR Application.

    e.g., Headset 1 = VR1@company.com, Headset 2 = VR2@company.com etc…

  • First and last name: We recommend using your real name in case you need to recover your account or manage your store purchases, but it is not required. If this is a generic ac

  • Birthday: You need to be at least 13 years old to sign up for a Meta account (14 if you live in South Korea or Spain). We use this information to help provide age-appropriate experiences for the youngest members of our community.

  • Password: This must be at least 8 characters. Avoid passwords that someone could easily guess.

Your Meta account information isn’t public. You can manage how you appear in VR with your Meta Horizon profile.

After setting up your Meta account, you can add or remove this account from the Accounts Center.

For existing Facebook users

If you currently use a Facebook account to access your VR device, you will need to set up a Meta account to continue using your device. Before starting the setup process, make sure that your headset is updated and that you’re signed in with your existing Facebook account. This ensures information like your previously purchased apps and existing data will automatically be associated with your new Meta account. Do not select “Set up account with email,” because doing so will create a Meta account that doesn’t have your existing apps and data. If this happens, you will need to delete your Meta account and set up a new Meta account using your existing Facebook account.

Once you’re signed into your existing Facebook account, you will have a choice to “Set up with Facebook” or “Continue without Facebook.” If you want access to connected experiences like finding Facebook friends or using Facebook features like Messenger in VR, you can choose “Set up with Facebook.” If you no longer want to use your Facebook account in VR, you can set up a Meta account with your email by selecting “Continue without Facebook.”

FAQ

💡 Do you have multiple profiles/meta accounts on your VR headset?

We advise that you have one meta account on your headset to avoid having to switch between profiles upon every use. To remove this additional profile you can perform a factory reset which will remove all data and account information and setting the device with the single profile, or you can remove the additional profile via the headset's settings.

 

💡Do you have a large number of VR Devices?

*If you are a large organization looking to purchase and setup a large fleet of MetaQuest VR devices and are concerned about the manual effort with the VR setup and management, there are Mobile Data Management (MDM) solutions to help streamline this process.

Please reach out to your Pixaera Representatives or contact us at help@pixaera.com if you want more information, we can put you in touch with a the right contacts.*
