Unfortunately, I have just found out from one of the comments here that App Sharing works only on ONE ACCOUNT! If you activate App Sharing for one of your secondary accounts, you cannot activate it for additional accounts. So, sadly, you cannot have 4 VR sets sharing the games from the same account :( Oh well! Enjoy sharing your apps and games with just ONE of your friends or family members! Thank you Jose Ayala for this update!!

[@ethanraya374]

Is there a way you can gameshare from a secondary account?

[@C__D]

Also, they do not allow casting to pc from secondary accounts! Why??

[@bartim0re487]

Thats Great news its not working like that. It means no cheap Charlies parasite gamer get free games! Vr need support to grow and get mainstream. There's not many of us compared to pancake and we all need to put wallets out in order to get aaa titles. It's OK to like indie like games forever but most of us wants aaa titles and we have to show devs that we can spend same or even more money than pancake gamers

[@owenlopez2550]

So I just logged in with primary account A into both headsets, then Secondary account B on both headsets. But you can only activate game sharing on One headset. So currently it's not possible to share games between headsets like xbox and playstation do.

[@ObungaBeat]

Hey sould my parent have the main account or my biggest brother?

[@allunplanned9673]

This is INCORRECT!!! App sharing only works on 1 headset at a time!!!! Don’t go buy 4 headsets and think your family can use one account for apps on all 4 headsets.

[@auliamosha9492]

Thank you for the info. Btw Are contractors available to app share?

[@joseayala372]

I can tell you that the ability to use the app sharing on multiple headsets does not work. They have limited the ability to use app sharing by the primary account, to only one headset... so. To be clear, You can log into 4 headsets with one primary account and secondary accounts on each... but your app sharing ability is allowed to only one headset at a time... so you can only have 1 of the 4 headsets be able to use your primary accounts library, and the other 3 will only be able to access the library ONLY WHILE LOGGED IN AS THE PRIMARY. I have tested this today with 4 oculus quest 2. When you attempt to app share in your 2nd headset you receive the message, “app sharing has already been activated on another headset, deactivate it on that headset to enable app sharing on this headset.” I hope this helps. Hello from New Jersey 🇺🇸

[@DiscoVRTetiana]

Amazing, thanks so much for letting me know! That's a bummer :(

[@DiscoVRTetiana]

I will use this info in a pinned comment to let everyone know!

[@joseayala372]

@@DiscoVRTetiana I am also bummed, as I was hoping to be able to play with my wife and 2 children without having to buy 4 copies of a game... though it seems ill have to buy at least 2.. then setup 2 separate “primary account holders” and 2 secondaries... better than 4, but I hope Ocukus watches your channel and realizes that we don’t have to buy 4 copies of a game on consoles to enjoy multiplayer. We’ve already spent almost $2000 In Hardware, maybe allowing for all headsets on a primary account (up to 4) wouldn’t hurt their revenue and it would definitely ease the blow to our wallets! Love your channel and your info is on point! Keep it up and I look forward to your next video. 😎🤙🏼

i have a question.. if an account bought a game from a different headset can you still play the game if you set it up secondary account on another headset? (meaning that you try to play the game with that same account that bought it)

[@jnjort]

Thank you so much for this video it really helped! Now my only question/concern is for add-on's. I purchased an add-on under the primary account, but I can't seem to get them shared on the secondary account. Does app sharing only work for the actual app only and not the add-on packages? Or maybe it only works on games that are purchased as opposed to add-on's for free games?

[@DiscoVRTetiana]

Hmm interesting question! I'm not sure about that, but I would recommend reaching out to the game devs, I'm sure they'll be happy to provide you all the info about that specific game and it's game sharing policy. Good luck!

Trying to find the best way to set up so my daughter can play but from the sound of it, the best thing to do is to leave my daughter as the primary and to just make a secondary account for my self.

[@Playr0ne]

Would be better to add official support for the game over wireless with Wifi 6. And then when playing through Virtual Desktop at the software level, not everything is so smooth. In many VR games, it is impossible to play at all because the helmet is not perceived by the computer as an Oculus Rift. Despite the fact that the wireless connection is the main killer feature of Quest 2 in comparison with Rift S.

I watched your video and tried to set up our 2 headsets. We found that primary can share library to other accounts on the first headset but only the primary can access the library on the second headset. Announcement appears that primary must shut off app sharing in first headset to share in second. We found we could work around this by trading headsets, primary took second headset where he could access the library and I took first headset where he shared so I could access library. This would only work for 2 though.

[@spacedoutET]

From what I gather, you need to sign in as primary to his one too. Then make him a 2nd user on his own. So it's like to you own both quests and you are the main user. But you only tick app share on the device that you want him to access your games, which is the one he will have. That way he is the 2nd account user and can use your games you bought under your name. If he created his name as the primary on his and you as 2nd, it would not work.

[@mikejonesuk]

I think it's worth pointing out that contrary to the promise in the Oculus blog post dated 18th February, " App Sharing applies automatically to all new apps in the Oculus Quest Store from this date forward.", it appears that The Climb 2, released on 4th March, does not offer App Sharing. I bought it a couple of days ago and have played it for a few hours. When I checked the secondary account on the same headset, it's not there. Very disappointing.

So my wife and I both have Quest 2's now (we both had Quest 1s originally). She gave her son her Q1, and is currently using her Q2. I have my Q2 and am considering giving my Q1 to my youngest brother. So I'm hoping that he may use all the games and experience I have loaded on it. Should I set him up as a secondary account on my Quest 2 and have him log in himself (using his Facebook login) on the Q1 to see if it works? Not quite sure how the best way to handle all of this would be. He lives in the next state over and will be visiting this week. I am hoping to bestow my Q1 on him then. I just want to make sure I'm telling him correctly how this all works. I understand that if HE wants to buy a game and install it on the Q1 then I won't have access to it. Not a problem. Also. I have Virtual Desktop and have been using my link cable to play Oculus Rift games as well as PCVR games via Steam. How will all of that work with app sharing, or will it? Thanks in advance.

[@DiscoVRTetiana]

App sharing is only working on Quest 2 headsets (unfortunately), so you won't be able to share the games with your brother is he has Quest 1. Also, as far as I know, app sharing only works for Quest games, not PCVR systems. Yeah, it's definitely not perfect :/ you'll only benefit from it if you have two Oculus Quest 2 in your household to share Quest games

Can I then let both of them sign in on each of these headsets with their own account and they can both play games together using a game from my primary account? Or would 1 of these headsets have to be logged in on mine? (I hope that makes sense I think I re wrote it about 10 times haha!!)

[@DiscoVRTetiana]

hey! Unfortunately, it turns out that a primary account can only share apps with ONE secondary account. I did not know that at the time I was making the video because I couldn't test it at the time. So, one headset would have to be logged in with the primary account, and another headset has to have a seconary account added and logged in, so two people can play the same game online at the same time.

@@DiscoVRTetiana I have two headsets where i am primary. On the second headset I added a secondary. When I use secondary login on second headset I don't see any of the shared games. I can only see all games if I use primary account on second headset. What am I doing wrong? Tks

Does this still work , I have 4 vr sets

Hi I am using a secondary account while the primary has population one downloaded but I can’t play it can you help me understand why?

[@DiscoVRTetiana]

for population one, second user has to find it in the store and it should be free

[@redstone5255]

@@DiscoVRTetiana I tried that and restarted my headset a couple of times but I saw that Population one was not on the app sharing list and I ended up buying it.

Can you have one headset to another headset ?

[@LuvFrosty]

I need some help so me and my brother both have headsets and have both both games on our own headsets but recently found out about this but he has more games then me so I added his account to my oculus and I have none of his games even tho we turned on app sharing and everything is there a reason for that?

[@DiscoVRTetiana]

No it doesn’t work that way. you can’t share games from a secondary account to a primary account, only from primary to secondary, so basically if you want to have access to your friend’s games, his account needs to be primary on your headset and you should add your account as secondary.

[@LuvFrosty]

@@DiscoVRTetiana so all I’d have to do is factory reset my headset sign in with his account then sign into mine afterwards? Or is there another way to do it

[@DiscoVRTetiana]

Yes it would work that way! Then you just continue using your headset from your account as secondary

[@tai9164]

Can primary and secondary account play together ?

[@DiscoVRTetiana]

yes, absolutely! :)

Hello! I have two headsets, one for dad and one for me. I’d like to have completely separated accounts but don’t know how to do it? What should I do to completely separate them? TIA!

[@flickerzzz204]

Just use two different Facebook accounts and two different oculus accounts

[@DiscoVRTetiana]

Sign into each of your head sets with a different facebook account to make it primary :) but keep in mind that you won't be able to share any games with each other

[@IAmSallyC.]

@@DiscoVRTetiana that’s the way I have it right now. Actually my headset is completely new and as soon as I turned it on for the first time it automatically opened in my dad’s account. I opened my FB account on mine and dad has his own on his headset but mine still shows only dad’s. Pardon my ignorance with this cause I know better and I know how to fix this situation but this time I’m lost and confused.

[@St4rlesss]

My second account isnt saving game data for some reason does anyone know why

[@mercxslick7261]

Can there be 2 primary accounts

[@Luna_Kat1983]

I just got the quest 2 and don't have the option:-(

[@johnnybgoode8104]

Can someone else verify. I know this isn't ideal for multiple headsets but if the scenario is just 2 headsets - it should work fine right? Turn on app sharing Oculus 1 primary Oculus 2 primary user signs in, then sets it to secondary user login. It looks as though the only downfall to this method is that the second person can't take advantage of referral store credit. If the second oculus is already set up, will it have to be factory reset to accomplish appsharing

[@DiscoVRTetiana]

Hi Johnny, everything you said sounds correct! Factory reset will allow you to change the primary account and then simply log in to your secondary account from that one. Unfortunately it only works with 2 headsets, not more

[@omaroskeno3314]

So do I have to do a factory reset on the other headset to make my main a primary on them

[@DiscoVRTetiana]

Yes, you will need to make sure that one and the same account is set as primary on both headsets, and a factory reset of the only way to do that

[@omaroskeno3314]

@@DiscoVRTetiana and to download games on the 2nd headset it has to be on my account then they can switch to their account after its done downloading or do they see the apps I own without switching to my account

[@vortexmassageguns8087]

I don’t see that option in experimental features
