For more information, read the blog post, Introducing Meta Accounts: What Developers Need to Know.

Connect the Headset to MQDH
To use MQDH features, you must connect a Meta Quest device to the computer.

Put on the Meta Quest headset and sign into the developer account you want to use for development.
On the headset, go to Settings > System > Developer, and then turn on the USB Connection Dialog option. (Alternatively, you can open the Meta Quest Mobile App, select the headset from the list, and then turn on the Developer Mode option See Set Up Development Environment and Headset for information on the Oculus mobile app.
Connect the headset to the computer using a USB-C cable and put on the headset again.
Click Allow when prompted to allow access to data.

Connect your headset to the computer using a USB-C cable and wear the headset.
Accept Allow USB Debugging and Always allow from this computer when prompted on the headset.

Open MQDH.
On the MQDH navigation pane, choose Device Manager. All the devices you have set up are displayed in the main pane. Each device is shown with its status, which includes the device ID and connection status. The active device shows the green Active designator.

MQDH Connected Device Status

Select Headset Connected to MQDH
If there are multiple headsets connected to your computer, you can use the drop-down menu in the upper-right corner to select the headset currently connected to MQDH.

Device select drop-down

Set Up Headset from MQDH
You can use MQDH to set up new Meta Quest headsets, and factory reset them.

Make sure that the headset is charged and turned on.
Bluetooth must be enabled on your computer.
Open MQDH.
On the navigation pane, choose Device Manager. Then in the upper right of the main pane, click Set Up New Device.
If you already have the headset set up in MQDH, the headset is available in the list located in the upper-right corner of MQDH.
Read the guidance and click Next.
Select the type of headset.
After MQDH has discovered the headset, click the headset ID, and then click Next.
Sign in with your developer account.
In the WiFi window, select the WiFi network you want to use. This should be the same network as your development computer or casting won’t work.
On the Complete Setup from Your Headset window, put on the headset, and then follow the prompts.
After the headset reboots and MQDH reconnects to it, use the slider to turn on Developer Mode. Your developer account must be verified to turn on Developer Mode.
The final screen tells you how to enable the headset to use MQDH features. You must:
Connect the headset to the computer via USB.
Allow access when prompted in the headset.
To set up multiple headsets, repeat the steps to connect other headsets.

Enable Android Developer Bridge (ADB) over WiFi
ADB is a command-line tool bundled with MQDH which enables you to communicate with your Meta Quest headset during development. With MQDH, you can connect the headset wirelessly to the computer using ADB over WiFi.

After you’ve connected the headset to MQDH over a USB-C cable, on MQDH Device Manager, on Device Actions, turn on ADB over Wi-Fi.

The status under ADB over WiFi changes to enabled.

MQDH ADB Status

Disconnect the USB cable from the headset to continue using your headset wirelessly.

For more information on ADB, see Use ADB with Meta Headsets.

Multiple Instances of ADB
ADB is a utility that is part of the Android SDK and is also part of the MQDH install. If you have previously installed the Android SDK, you may have a different ADB version already running on your computer. The different ADB instances can conflict with each other, giving you unexpected results. When MQDH does detect adb paths on startup, it displays a warning message. If the warning message appears when you start MQDH, you can use the existing ADB version installed on your computer by changing the ADB path in MQDH.

To change the ADB path in MQDH

On the navigation pane, click Settings.
Modify the ADB path to let MQDH use the ADB instance located on your computer.
Turn off Proximity Sensor and Boundary
For development and debugging purposes, you can turn off the proximity sensor and Boundary (Guardian). However, we strongly recommend to turn them on when the device is no longer in development mode.

The proximity sensor is enabled to ensure that the headset goes to sleep when not in use.
Boundary creates a virtual boundary to ensure your safety when you’re immersed in the VR experience.
During development, you often debug directly in the dev environment without wearing the headset, so it’s safe to turn off these features. Turning them off makes it easy to capture screenshots, record videos, and step through code.

Note: Turning off the proximity sensor means your device will not go to sleep, so your battery won’t last as long. We highly recommend that you either turn the headset off, leave the device charging, or turn the proximity sensor back on when you don’t need it to be off.

On the MQDH Device Manager, under Device Actions, turn off Proximity Sensor and Guardian to keep the headset in the active state. You can also press the CTRL + Shift + P and CTRL + Shift + G keyboard shortcuts to turn on or off the proximity sensor and Boundary, respectively.
Change the Device Name
With MQDH, you can give your devices nicknames and make them easier to identify.

On the MQDH Device Manager, under Settings, click Change.
In the Device Nickname dialog, enter a new nickname for the device that’s currently connected with MQDH.
Click Save.
Set Up Meta Quest Link
MQDH offers the options to configure the Meta Quest Link. From the MQDH Device Manager, you can do the following:

Enable and disable Link mode
Switch between Cable and Air Link
Link mode causes the device to behave like a PC VR headset until the mode is explicitly turned off.

To switch between Air Link and Cable modes:

On the navigation pane, choose Device Manager.
In the Device Actions pane, click the Select Mode dropdown and choose between Air Link and Cable. This sets the mode for the Active headset.
Video and Image Files
You can use the MQDH dashboard to capture images and screen recordings. To find them after you have recorded them, in the navigation pane, click the File Manager tab. When you open the MQDH File Manager and click on Videos or Images all the media of that type is synchronized from the device to the PC desktop. This synchronization is not continuous, so you need to open the MQDH File Manager and click on Videos or Images whenever you want do download new content. Note: Video files will not be automatically downloaded from MQDH. You will need to open the file in order to download it.

Install MQDH

Download the macOS or Windows installer.
