Which services work on a Quest

Last checked November 11, 2026: makers' help and device pages, read from outside the US.

Downloads for a flight. Amazon's download page lists a Fire tablet and the iOS, Android, macOS and Windows apps, not the Quest [4]. The Disney+ Quest page does not mention downloads [1].

HBO Max. Its US device list names Apple Vision Pro but not Meta Quest [21]. An owner in Mexico wrote in November 2023 that HBO Max and Star+ "aren’t supported by the Quest’s browser" [17]. An owner on a Spanish forum could log in to HBO Max in the browser, but got an error code on play (February 2024) [18]. An owner in Türkiye wrote in December 2025: "HBO MAX, Prime and Netflix all open on the Quest browser" [13].

Apple TV. Apple's help page for the Apple TV app on smart TVs and streaming devices names Amazon Fire TV, Android TV and Sony TV, and no headset [22]. For films you bought there, see our VR movies guide.

Meta Horizon TV

Meta Horizon TV is Meta's entertainment hub on the headset. Meta launched it at Connect 2025 [2]. The full version needs Horizon OS v79 or later [2]. Meta said Disney+, and content from ESPN and Hulu, would come to the Quest in the Meta Horizon Store and in Horizon TV [2]. Horizon TV plays Dolby Atmos sound [2].

The old Meta TV app is gone. A Meta staff member on Meta's forum (September 2025) said it is "no longer available", pointed to Horizon TV as the "new entertainment hub", and said saved files are "still accessible through the Files app" [19]. The owner who asked replied that Horizon TV "seems to be just being able to view a flat screen in the VR environment" [19].

3D films on a Quest

• Disney+: select 3D titles on Quest 3 and 3S, at no extra charge [1]. A Quest 2 gets films in 2D and the Disney+ Environments [1]. Disney says availability "varies by region and device" [1].
• YouTube VR: 3D is one of its search filters [6].
• Peacock, HBO Max and Paramount+: Meta announced in September 2026 that its Meta VR Glasses, a different device, will play their 3D content [11]. See Meta VR Glasses and 3D movies.

Which films each service has in 3D: 3D movies on streaming.

Your own films: Plex and Jellyfin

Plex. Plex's device page tells Quest owners to get "The Plex app downloaded from the Meta Horizon Store" [9]. With a Plex Media Server, it plays your own library [9]. The page does not say whether it plays 3D files. In 2024, Plex ended its apps for Google Daydream, Gear VR and Oculus Go, with "overall low usage" a major reason [10].

Owners on Plex's forum also used Movie Deck, a third-party Plex client for Quest (February 2024; we have not tested it). One said it "seems to work pretty well (though I could not figure out how to make search work)". A second agreed: "At least it played content that I couldn’t play through the browser." [36]

Jellyfin. Jellyfin's list of apps, its own and third-party, has no Meta Quest or VR app [12]. A Jellyfin forum user wrote in November 2024 that the only way that worked reliably was the Jellyfin web page in a browser, Wolvic or Meta's own, since "there is no native Jellyfin VR client" [20]. The same user said those browsers "always stretch videos" in side-by-side and top-and-bottom 3D [20].

To play files from a server in a VR video player: VR video players.

When a video will not play

These are what owners reported on Meta's forum and others, and what fixed it for them. We have not tested them.

Disney+ in the browser says to download the app

Disney+ has had a Quest app in the US since December 15, 2025 [1]. If the browser keeps sending you there, try the fix marked as the answer on Meta's forum (December 2025). The owner wrote: "Clearing cache from within the browser does not work." [13]. Instead, in Settings, go to General, then Storage, then System apps. Find the browser and select "CLEAR DATA" [13]. The owner who asked came back to say it worked [13].

The video freezes but the sound keeps playing

An owner traced this to Bluetooth earphones in December 2024: "the video can be played if the unit's speaker is used" [14]. The same owner wrote in January 2025: "This event has been resolved with the v72 update" [14]. Two more owners had it again in June and July 2025 with Sony headphones, and video played when the headphones were not connected [14]. Update the headset, or try the built-in speakers.

The Prime Video app drops out of focus mode

A Quest 3 owner reported in June 2026 that after a Quest update the app jumped back to window mode. The owner's workaround: "use the Browser-based version of Prime Video instead of the dedicated app" [15]. Five days later, another owner reported that a Prime Video update fixed it, and the first owner confirmed [15].

A web video player keeps saying "Connecting"

A Tablo owner (January 2024) found that the web app did not work in the Quest browser. It "does work fine however in the Wolvic browser" [16].

The app is not in the Store in your country

Disney+ availability "varies by region and device" [1]. Disney+ lists a later Quest launch in Australia and New Zealand, on January 14, 2026 [23].

Other headsets: Vision Pro, Galaxy XR, PICO

• Apple Vision Pro. The App Store lists Vision Pro apps for Disney+ (with select 3D films) [24], HBO Max [25], Paramount+ [26] and Crunchyroll [27]. Prime Video and Peacock list no Vision Pro app; their iPad apps run there [28], [29]. Hulu lists no Vision Pro app [30]. In the Apple TV app you can buy and rent 3D films [31]. Films you bought before that are now in 3D play in 3D at no cost [31].
• Samsung Galaxy XR. Samsung says YouTube, Netflix, Peacock "and more" are on it [32]. Google names Crunchyroll, HBO Max and Peacock, from Google Play [33]. An owner on Samsung's forum said in December 2025 that Disney+ had no app and "the website is not supported" [34].
• PICO. The PICO Store has YouTube VR for PICO 4, PICO 4 Ultra and PICO Space Pro [35]. YouTube TV runs in the YouTube XR app on PICO, Vision Pro and Android XR headsets [7].
