How do I add a new Oculus account if I already have one?

Start with normally booting up the headset. Once you are in the VR, go to the settings and choose an account. There, select “Add Account”.

If you are creating a new account and there is another person in the room, you’ll be asked to hand over the headset to them.

If you are setting up your Oculus headset for the first time, you will need the mobile app in order to do so. However, not every account needs a mobile app. So you can just use a different email for each account and won’t have to download the mobile app. As long as the emails are different, you can even use the same name and birthdate.

Setting up a second account on your Oculus Quest 2 follows exactly the same process as setting up a first account. You’ll have to create an avatar and get everything configured so you can jump right into your new experience.
