Pretty cool free workspace app. Looks like multiple browsers only unless Im missing something. Still worth using I think.

Sadly not working for me :(

Has the Meta Quest + catalogue changed its line up since launch?

I seem to remember reading Meta stating that games would rotate in and out...

Ah I see now. That catalogue list above is a bit out of date. 16 games showing in the app. Green Hell VR is in the catalogue also. Cool.

Yeah the gathering and crafting Olympics should be max 2% of game time I say 🤣

Finally got X-plore file manager apk sideloaded. Installing all kinds of stuff now. Watching the tennis on IPTV.

Nice. Gona watch Spain France later 👍

Also got WhatsApp setup. Very handy for sending links, apks, screenshots, video etc. between headset / phone / PC. I prefer it to waiting for the Meta mobile app to sync stuff.

80 euro per year for the login from a pal of mine. Have it on my android box for TV so had the apk handy. Its good. Has 4k sky sports and movies. Im led to believe theres an IPTV guy in every town at this stage 🤣. Just got v67 OS also so had a quick look in the experimental settings. Cool new window layout option available.

You can do multiple windows at different depths:

Thats not all. There looks to be a full screen theatre option in the title bar of each window for theatre mode 😍:

Now thats a feature I'll be using a lot.

Theres a small brightness icon below the theatre screen that turns into a bar. You can turn everything black behind the screen.

First I installed SideQuest on PC. You need the advanced version to allow installing your own Android app apks to your quest headset:

Then I grabbed a file explorer apk I had on my android box (X-plore). Any will do though. E.g. CX File Explorer from apkpure website. You install it using the "install apk" option along the top bar in SideQuest. Once you have a file explorer installed on the headset you can disconnect from your PC and install any of your own apks with the file explorer. I had an IPTV app + subscription already on my android box so I just copied those onto my headset through whatsapp. Any unofficial apks you install will be available under "unknown sources" in the quest headset app list filter drop-down. So I guess no real guide just messing about and a few things I picked up from here and from Facebook groups. Any more questions let me know.

Great thanks I'll try it over the next few days, junior keeps asking for me to do it so he can play Minecraft VR. There's no downsides? It doesn't impede on the normal quest experience?
