Send a web link to Meta Quest with Web Launch

Updated: Jul 22, 2026

Overview

Web Launch lets a user send an HTTPS website URL from a web browser on a computer or phone to Meta Quest Browser.
Try the flow by sending the Meta website to Meta Quest Browser⁠.

Build a Web Launch URL

Use the following endpoint and set its url query parameter to the URL-encoded HTTPS target:
https://www.oculus.com/open_url/?url=<encoded-https-url>
The JavaScript URL and URLSearchParams APIs validate and encode the values:
function createWebLaunchUrl(linkUrl) {
  const targetUrl = new URL(linkUrl);
  if (targetUrl.protocol !== "https:") {
    throw new TypeError("Web Launch targets must use HTTPS.");
  }

  const webLaunchUrl = new URL("https://www.oculus.com/open_url/");
  webLaunchUrl.searchParams.set("url", targetUrl.toString());
  return webLaunchUrl.toString();
}

window.location.assign(createWebLaunchUrl("https://www.meta.com"));
The resulting URL has the following form:
https://www.oculus.com/open_url/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.meta.com%2F
Use Meta Quest branding on the button or call site that starts this flow so users understand which devices support the link.
You can also use the endpoint directly in an HTML link:
<a href="https://www.oculus.com/open_url/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.meta.com">
  Open Meta.com on Meta Quest
</a>
