If i am not wrong applab is same as sideload but improved should i get applab or use sideload with my pc

[@Famiry_Guy_Ken]

@@sebbastiann couldn't hurt to have both

[@CasandChary]

@@sebbastiann App Lab isn't the same as sideloading. Chances are that there will still be games that won't come on App Lab, so those you'll still need to sideload. I'd check what game you want to play and check if it's on App Lab, if not, then you can use this method too. Shouldn't be a problem to do both.

[@Famiry_Guy_Ken]

Is there a way to install games from Sidequest or steam through this app?

Thank you, it worked flawlessly Heads up to anyone watching this, Meta Quest app updated and to turn on Developer Mode you need to click on devices then the headset settings instead of the original settings/ more settings

[@tradingespanol5384]

CAS!!🚨🚨 I'm planing on giving a quest to my parents! How about a video with the top apps and experiences for older people that don't necessarily like to play games? I know you have a video of different things to do in VR but something more targeted to older audiences would be really helpful!

[@CasandChary]

That's an idea, I'll give it a thought!

[@buddsbuddha]

Extremely helpful, this is what every quest owner needs to know

[@andrewjmoffett]

Thank you so much! This was super helpful! I was able to sideload one game and that was awesome! I'm having a really hard time doing it again for some reason. I wish it wasnt so complicated and so many steps. Can you please tell me, how many of the steps need to be repeated after you've already sideloaded a game? Thank you!

To make things easier make the first app you sideload X-plore. Then you can download apk files directly in the headset and install them. 😁

Does this work with iPhones? I know quest is an android product, so I figured you probably can’t side-load using an iPhone, but you mentioned Huawei phones, so that got my hopes up. Any input from anyone who knows will be greatly appreciated.

As far as I know you need a cable. Sure you don't have one laying around? Maybe siblings/ friends? There's a way to do wireless adb commands, but then you still need to give permission with a cable first.

Wow I’m waiting for my quest to and I didn’t even think about having a PC or laptop I’m a console gamer and the PS VR was sold out everywhere and I noticed it said online that the oculus 2 is technologically better than the PS VR and it was cheaper so I grabbed it I came upon this video while searching for games and stuff for VR and said oh crap if I need a PC to play this I’m going to be so tight because I don’t have the money to waste on something I’m hoping the side load works I really thought it was a system like a PlayStation has web browser and all that and I can’t believe that this VR doesn’t have the same looks like meta don’t want regular people who love games but on Consol and haven’t entered the PC world ever and I just feel like I’m about to get jerked on $300 so thank you for the video I hope it works but Zuckerberg needs to understand if you wanna beat PlayStation it’s about convenience the easier it is to use The more people will be drawn to that product
