Getting teens started with parental supervision

24 Likes

We want to respect your privacy and autonomy while also helping you have a positive experience in VR. When parental supervision features are enabled, you’ll see exactly what’s shared with your parent or guardian, as well as which VR features they’ve disabled.

Basic requirements

Oculus mobile app. The Oculus mobile app is where you’ll find parental supervision features. You can download the free app onto your phone using the links below:
- Google Play Store
- Apple App Store
A Facebook account. This is what you’ll use to log in to view the parental supervision features. If you don’t currently use Facebook, you can create a Facebook account using the Quest app.
A Meta Quest or Meta Quest 2 headset.
Your consent: The only way your parents can support your VR experiences is if you send them an invite. They can’t set up parental supervision without you initiating the process, and you can turn the feature off at any time.

Account requirements

In addition to the requirements outlined above, there are some additional requirements for both your account and your parent’s account:

Teens can only have one parent or guardian supporting their account.
Parents can support up to 5 teen accounts.
Parents must be at least 18 years old.
Parents and teens cannot use parental supervision if one account has blocked the other.
Both teen and parent must have a Facebook account. Parental supervision cannot be set up on Oculus accounts that are not linked to Facebook.
Both teen and parent Facebook accounts must not be disabled, deactivated or deleted.
