Meta Quest DEEP LINKS

Meta Quest offers a feature called "Destinations" that allows you to easily share your specific location within the Metaverse, such as a storefront or room, with anyone outside of the app. Through the use of a Deep Link, Quest users can simply click "Launch in VR" on their mobile or desktop device to be instantly transported to your chosen location. They will need to have their Quest headset on and nearby. If the recipient does not have the Multiverse app already installed, they will be prompted to download it first. 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 link 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.

Getting Your Own Deep Link

To request a deep link, contact us at sales@ftl.ltd with:

  • Oculus/ Meta Quest User ID

  • URL of your storefront (or any other location within your Metaverse)

  • Name of the destination

  • Description / welcome message 

  • Image – aspect ratio: 16:9, 2560 x 1440px (32-Bit PNG)
    The image will appear differently on mobile and desktop views. To ensure optimal display, we recommend using our deep link safe zone template and placing text and logos centrally.

NOTE: This is a premium feature that comes with a fee.

After your request is approved by Meta and FTL, you will be provided with a Deep Link URL in the format: https://www.oculus.com/vr/___ followed by a unique number. This URL can be utilized on various platforms, such as social media and advertisement, and can also be integrated into your website through redirects. It's worth noting that deep links remain constant and do not expire or alter, ensuring ongoing usability of the same URL.

Invitation Links

You can also create Meta “Invitation Links” using your deep link and share them via the Meta Quest mobile app. To do this, or to check other Meta Destinations, go to your Meta Quest app -> Menu -> Invite Links -> Create an Invite Link -> Select an App -> Multiverse -> Create Link -> Select a destination (e.g., your own storefront Destination) -> Create Link. The link will appear in your “Invite Link” list, and you will be able to easily share or launch it from your phone. Keep in mind that these "Invitation Links" have an expiration date of a few days.
