Why recenter the Meta Quest 3?

  1. Press and hold the Meta button (the Meta logo) on your right controller.
  2. A circle will appear around the Meta logo and will progressively close. Keep the button pressed until the circle is fully closed.

3. Recentered view

Once the process is complete, your view will align with the chosen position.

Resetting through the headset settings

  1. Press the Meta button on your right controller to open the menu.
  2. Navigate to the clock icon and open Quick Settings.
  3. Select Reset View.
