Meta Home (formerly Oculus Home) is a virtual reality platform used by Oculus headsets. When you start your Oculus headset, Meta Home automatically opens on your display screen. Some people may find this to be an unnecessary step in starting their device, or they may simply prefer to start with a different app.

Thankfully, there are a few ways to stop Meta Home from automatically opening.

Method 1: Using Oculus Settings

1. Turn on your Oculus headset and open the Oculus app on your computer.
2. Click on the gear icon in the top right corner of the Oculus app window to access settings.
3. Click on the “General” tab and then scroll down to the “Unknown Sources” section.
4. Toggle off the setting “Allow apps that have not been reviewed by Oculus.”
5. Restart your headset.

With this method, Oculus will not launch any app automatically, including Meta Home.

Method 2: Disabling the “Auto-Launch” Option

1. Turn on your Oculus headset and open the Meta Home app.
2. Click on the “Settings” icon in the bottom right corner of the screen.
3. Scroll down to the “Beta” section and toggle off the “Enable Auto-Launch” option.
4. Restart your headset.

With this method, the Meta Home app will remain installed on your device, but it will not launch automatically when you turn on your Oculus headset.

Method 3: Uninstalling the Meta Home App

1. Turn on your Oculus headset and open the Oculus app on your computer.
2. Click on the “Library” tab.
3. Find the Meta Home app in your library and click on it.
4. Click on the gear icon next to the “Play” button and then select “Uninstall.”
5. Restart your headset.

This method completely removes the Meta Home app from your device, so it will not automatically open on startup.

In conclusion, there are a few different methods to stop Meta Home from automatically opening on your Oculus headset. Whether you prefer to disable the “Auto-Launch” option within the Meta Home app settings, uninstall the app entirely, or adjust settings in the Oculus app, these options give you more control over how you use your virtual reality headset.
