My husband and I share an oculus and would like to have two separate accounts and devices paired so we can cast to our phone and tv when one of us is away. We have 5 kiddos, including a 5yr old that cannot read well yet. The casting ability allows us to guide them so they are able to get where they want without us having to intervene all the time. Also, we love to watch each other play on the tv. It’s a great way to spend time as a family.

We would like to be able to have more than one user for our oculus. Our kids share one and would like to be able to have their own phones attached but also share games that we purchased

I appreciate multi-user support being added to OQ, but I was really disappointed when I found out that a high score is not working for the secondary accounts. This is really a huge disappointment as this social aspect really helps me and drives me to get better in different games across the board. Is it actually being worked on by Oculus devs? 2 versions after releasing the multi-user support, and it still wasn't implemented even if it looks like such a simple feature.

@Nicklas Westerberg: I got the multi user feature on my Quest 1 yesterday with version 29. So you should also get it soon.

When does it roll out to Oculus Version 1.. Have it on my Quest 2, but still waiting to ********* My other Quest.?

It is very displeasing to know that this doesn't work on Quest 1. I just bought myself a Quest 2 and gave my Quest 1 to my family only to find out that they can't all put their accounts on it.

Needs original quest support and sharing on all owned devices. I Own two quest and one quest 2. I have 2 13 year olds who use the older quests. But they keep messing up each others saved games.

You can do this. I believe it's in the experimental options. My daughter has my account and hers on her oculus. It allows her to try games I've purchased to see if she wants to buy it too.

Tried the experimental feature on my Quest 2 and it does not seem to work :(

I have several games installed on the primary account and non of them are shown on the second account. What would be helpful is a list of games that allow app sharing, so that I can check whether all of my apps don't support it or whether it is a bug in the OS.

why only for Oculus Quest 2 users? please open it for Oculus Quest 1 users as well

🤞 This looks to be arriving soon:

This is ridiculous that this isnt already a feature. I just bought one of these for my wifes bday and so annoyed I couldnt have my own profile and saves on it! then was about to buy a 2nd so we can both play at the same time, have luckily just discovered that even being within the same household, I would need to re-buy all the games and DLC (Beatsaber) a 2nd time?? No thanks. 2 massive features that are so common in gaming systems these days just completely missing.

As an FYI, it looks like this is coming on Feb 13th as an experimental feature: https://www.pocket-lint.com/ar-vr/news/oculus-rift/155349-oculus-quest-2-multi-user-options-coming-soon

This is a deal breaker... I was an early adopter of Oculus Facebook headset and I understand this lack for the previous headsets... but the Quest 2 is clearly for main market. This feature is really needed. You have the engineers and the knowledge to set up a complex authentication system that allows you to attach multiple accounts with the ability to share games on the current headset, allowing only one online instance per game copy for example. It's really sad to see some of the best technology of this year waste with a poor layer software...

Upvoted, this is a strange omission for an entertainment system. I understand the "mandatory Facebook login", but it feels like the infrastructure around is not robust/logical enough to support normal gaming use-cases - e.g. google makes the Gmail account pretty mandatory on android as well, but it offers features like family sharing and android guest logins to make usage of the devices a bit more logical.

So, with android you can setup multiple users on a single phone. Since the backing operating system is android, shouldn't this be doable?

I understand the need to keep purchased software linked to the account that purchased it, so wouldn't expect to play the same game on multiple headsets. I do however find it incredibly disappointing that my kids all share the same game profile with me. Often if I want the kids to try out a new game, they either have to start a new game, losing any progress I've made, or miss out on things like intros and tutorials - which are an essential part of the experience. You should be able to make local Guest accounts with the ability to store their own progress per game, whilst still retaining the owner of the device and access to it's library of purchased titles.

For those that have multiple headsets, I think it would be fair to limit them to running one instance of a purchased title, meaning you'd have to buy either an additional per-seat license for a game, or use an alternative account which has also purchased the title.

Agreed, this is a huge gripe of mine. All of my family want to user my Quest and we don't want to have to factory reset to allow different people to use it each time!

I absolutely agree!!! This needs to be added as soon as possible, along with being able to sign out of your profile

We were thinking of getting a Quest 2 but it's a good job we found this out. Without the ability to have multiple user profiles it's useless, we're certainly not going to buy one each!
