Although your friends will never be able to see what you&#8217;re doing while playing a game, you can still share your activities on social media. Here&#8217;s how. You can sign up for an Oculus account and create a profile. Then, you can create a game account. Then, sign into Facebook.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Oculus_Quest\"><\/span>Oculus Quest<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Oculus Quest is one VR headset that requires a Facebook account to work. If you do not want to sign up for Facebook, then you can use a fake account. However, this may not be a good idea as Facebook has strict policies on running multiple accounts and preventing fake accounts. Therefore, you might want to consider using a different account for the headset. This article will discuss the options available to you.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Meta_Quest\"><\/span>Meta Quest<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In order to play the new video game Meta Quest on Oculus, you will need to have a Facebook account, but this requirement is no longer mandatory. As of August, you can link your account without having to create a new one. The game allows you to call your Facebook friends from within the VR experience. However, you can still link your account when setting up your Meta account. Here&#8217;s how.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Meta_Horizon\"><\/span>Meta Horizon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are curious about how to use Meta Horizon on Oculus without Facebook, then read on. Facebook will no longer be required to log into your VR device by January 2023. If you already have an Oculus account, you can continue to use it until that date. Otherwise, you&#8217;ll need to create a new Meta Horizon account. You&#8217;ll need to provide your name, email address, and other details such as payment information. You will also need to provide your date of birth to confirm your age. The information you give will be private.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Oculus_Meta_account\"><\/span>Oculus Meta account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve bought a Meta VR headset, you&#8217;ll need to set up a new account. This is the same process as setting up a Facebook account, but it&#8217;s designed for people who are over the age of 13. Oculus wants to keep customers loyal by requiring them to use their own Meta accounts instead of Facebook&#8217;s. The new accounts will be mandatory by January 1, 2023. Creating an account will only take a few minutes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Joining_Facebook\"><\/span>Joining Facebook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Oculus users who want to use their headset must sign up for a Facebook account. This way, they can share their game scores and progress. This privacy invasion is something that many users dread, but one thing that Oculus isn&#8217;t willing to change is the fact that they require users to link their Facebook accounts to use their headset. Here are some things to know before you decide to sign up for Facebook to use your Oculus headset.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Setting_up_a_Meta_account\"><\/span>Setting up a Meta account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering whether you should set up a Meta account to use Oculuse without Facebook, you&#8217;re not alone. Facebook recently announced that Oculus devices would require a Facebook login to log in. But now that Facebook is moving away from Facebook, Meta has reversed this decision, giving Oculus users a few options. They can use their own Meta Account to access their devices, manage purchased apps, and integrate their social media profiles.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Creating_a_Meta_Horizon_profile\"><\/span>Creating a Meta Horizon profile<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In order to use Oculus without Facebook, you can create a Meta Horizon profile. The Meta account replaces the Oculus profile and gives you the option to customize your appearance. You can choose to follow or unfollow other users and even link your Facebook account. This way, you can meet new VR friends and keep track of your friends in the virtual world. However, you must remember to maintain your privacy while using Meta.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"229\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"410\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5cyijb7CJZU\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can I Use Oculus Without Facebook?
