Meta Quest DEEP LINKS
Meta Quest includes a feature called "Destinations," which allows you to easily share specific locations within the Metaverse—such as a storefront or room—with anyone outside the app. By using a Deep Link, recipients can simply click "OPEN" on their mobile or desktop device to be instantly transported to your chosen location, provided they have their Quest headset nearby and ready to use. If the recipient does not have the Multiverse app installed, they will be prompted to download it first. For those without their headset ready, the destination can be “SAVED FOR LATER.” Saved locations will appear on their Horizon homeroom screen for easy access.
This powerful tool enables you to promote your Metaverse destination to a wider audience, drawing them in as long as they have a Quest headset. You can promote your deep links on various platforms, including social media channels, your business website, or digital ads.
Deep Links are a convenient way to instantly share your virtual location with others. By sharing the Deep Link URL, people can access your storefront, apartment, or gallery without having to navigate through the app. The Deep Link URL follows the format: https://www.oculus.com/vr/___ followed by a unique number. To give it a try, we have provided a few examples of Deep Links that some of our innovative storefront owners have created in the past. Simply click on the image and then click the blue "Open" button. Remember to have your Quest headset turned on.
