What is Meta Horizon Managed Services?

Meta Horizon Managed Services (HMS) is a free platform that enables Quest devices to be used for work and education. HMS allows you to manage user identities and enroll devices into an MDM of choice.

Selecting the right device management for your VR program is critical to its success. For the best control over your devices, HMS works best alongside an integrated device management platform, like ManageXR.

  • Horizon Managed Services (HMS) is Meta's native device management for Quest devices. HMS was previously known as Quest for Business and Oculus for Business.

  • HMS provides limited tooling for managing Meta Quests, eliminates the need for individual Meta accounts and streamlines device enrollment (no cables required).

  • An HMS account gives you access to approved third-party MDMs, like ManageXR, that provide additional management capabilities that HMS doesn't have.

Enroll with HMS, operate with ManageXR

Use HMS for streamlined device enrollment and select ManageXR as your preferred MDM. No need to set up developer mode or plug in individual devices.

ManageXR provides expanded control over your Meta devices and deep visibility essential for the long term success of your VR program.

Quest devices can only be managed by Meta's approved partners, like ManageXR. Our partnership ensures we deliver the best solution for anyone deploying Quest devices at scale.

ManageXR + Meta Horizon Managed Services puts you in control

Track record of success

An MDM with a proven track record, experience deploying XR at scale for 8+ years. Consistently first to deliver new features to the market.

Meta’s focus is hardware development, not device management. Past challenges with Oculus and Quest for Business highlight the complexity of delivering robust device management.

Hands-on technical support

Access a team of technical experts who are invested in making your deployment successful. ManageXR takes pride in a <2 hour average human response time.

Access to support is limited. In an emerging technology like XR, having experts on your side can make or break your deployment.

Content deployment

Deploy all XR content (apps, videos, WebXR, files) and host apps on ManageXR. Get instant access to 500+ free Meta Store apps. Eliminate interruptions with scheduled app installs and updates.

Deploy only apps. For deploying APKs from a developer, you will need to self-host on a platform like AWS. Meta Horizon managed services doesn’t support app hosting.

Real-time management

Expanded real-time control: launch content and play/pause videos to guide the experience while devices are in use. Secure devices by forgetting WiFi networks, wiping app data, or uninstalling apps.

Real-time control is limited. You can’t launch content or play/pause videos. Devices are less secure without the ability to remotely restart, forget WiFi networks, wipe app data, or uninstall apps.

Live VR classroom management

Lead VR classrooms and training sessions owith Rooms. Allow anyone to stream groups of headsets, launch apps simultaneously, and keep sessions running smoothly.

Launch and cast with Meta Facilitator Suite. Limited to admins and requires users to accept permission.

Ongoing development

Regular product updates, early access programs, and a roadmap based on real user feedback. Our mission is to make VR programs successful.

Meta put HMS on "maintenance mode" and development is limited to bug fixes. VR is not a priority.

Designed for flexibility

All leading XR headsets are supported. As your hardware preferences evolve, you can ensure that your device management will be compatible.

You can only manage Quest devices, so if you switch to a different hardware, you'll also need to migrate to a new MDM – adding time, cost, and operational overhead.

FAQs

Do I need a paid subscription to use Meta Horizon Managed Services?

No. As of February 20th, 2026, HMS accounts are free to use.

I live in a region not supported by Meta Horizon Managed Services, how can I use ManageXR?

Previously, payment method from a supported region was required to purchase HMS licenses. Now that HMS is free of cost, we believe this barrier has been removed, allowing organizations in any region to enroll their devices in ManageXR. Contact support@managexr.com for more details.

Can I use ManageXR without Horizon Managed Services?

A Meta Horizon managed services account is required to enroll and manage Meta Quest devices with ManageXR (or any other MDM).

Horizon Managed Services will enter maintenance mode through January 4, 2030. What is the long-term outlook for existing Meta Quest devices after 2030?

At this time, there is no definitive information on how device management will evolve beyond 2030. However, we expect Meta to provide a supported path forward for managing existing devices.​If future changes require alternative enrollment or deployment methods, ManageXR will adapt accordingly. Our goal is to ensure that device setup and ongoing management remain as simple and reliable as possible, and we will continue to provide tools and guidance to support customers through any platform transitions.
