Meta Quest Media Studio


A new media management and publishing pipeline from Meta Quest.


Introduction:

Meta Quest Media Studio is a new media management tool for immersive creators to upload, publish, and analyze VR-first content. From this single hub, creators can easily distribute their stories directly to VR, where VR content is best enjoyed, while also enabling out-of-headset content discovery.


Visual fidelity is given a high priority in this pipeline. We only accept high quality 4k+ 360 videos, 180 videos, and Quill creations that look good in VR.
