Quest for Business

Quest for Business (Free for existing Meta for Business customers until 2030) makes it easy to manage a fleet of Quest headsets and deploy custom applications via APK files. Official Meta Quest Store applications, such as Arkio, can also be deployed to all your headsets via the QfB management portal.

You can add Arkio to your device library from the "Discover apps" tab.

Selected store apps can be added to individually managed devices, to devices in shared mode and added as a device profile that will be distributed to all connected devices.

After this, your Quest for Business users will find the Arkio app under their apps and in the "For work" section of their Quest app library.

Other MDM solutions

Please refer to your other device management documentation to see whether it also supports installing applications from the official Meta Quest Store.

Adding Arkio licenses

If you have a paid or educational Arkio license, it can be assigned by entering the license key in the Arkio settings panel on the appropriate headsets.

Custom APK files

Arkio requires Meta entitlements for some of our core features to work (e.g., spatial anchors for co-located Mixed Reality, boundaryless mode, room imports, and Meta avatars). We require access to these features and frequent updates to stay compatible with Arkio on other supported devices, which is why we cannot provide custom APKs.

Installing the store version of Arkio, following your MDM solution provider's documentation, gives you access to all the latest features and a cross-device compatible version of Arkio.
