Navigator brings your apps, worlds, friends, controls, and more together in one easy-to-access place, making it simple to move between everything you need in VR.

You can enable or disable Navigator at any time by going to Settings and selecting the Experimental section. Once enabled, you can invoke the Navigator by pressing / on your right Touch controller.

Navigator features

The bottom row of the Navigator provides access to key system features:

  • Home: This icon appears when you’re in your home world. Selecting it hides the Navigator from view. Your home world can either be Passthrough or Loft. You’ll see your home world each time you use VR.
  • App or World: When you’re in an app or world, the Home icon is replaced by the specific app or world’s icon. Selecting it provides additional options, such as reporting abuse and the option to quit and return home.
  • Worlds: Explore fun, social and gaming experiences and set your home world. Select Worlds on the bottom row of Navigator, then view and jump into suggested, recently viewed or saved Worlds. To set your home world, find them listed first in the Worlds tab. From there, press and hold on either Passthrough or Loft, and select Set as home in the menu.
  • Library: Find, launch, download and manage all your apps.
  • People: Connect with friends, chat, call and manage your social connections.
  • Quick controls: A menu with controls such as camera, brightness, volume, some privacy settings and more. You can also access your settings from the left menu, where you will find more customization options.
  • Notifications: View notifications from apps, Messenger, and more.
  • You: Select your avatar image to access the You page where you can select how you want to appear in the metaverse, edit your avatar.

Grid view

  • Left menu: Each tab in the Navigator features a left-hand menu with search and other options, such as links to Search, Store, Feed, and your Chats. The available options will vary depending on the tab you’re viewing.
  • See more options: Press and hold on an app, person or world in the grid view to see options like pinning, inviting and more.
