Accessing apps in the Library

The Library has a filter you can use to find apps more easily. Here's how to filter apps in the Library:

In the Library, select the filter button

in the upper right.

The Library filters apps into the following categories:

Category	Description
My apps	Displays both Installed and Not installed VR apps in your account.
Installed	Displays VR apps that you can use on the headset.
Not installed	Displays VR apps that can be downloaded and installed on the headset. Also displays VR apps that have been uninstalled.
Updates	Displays VR apps on the headset that have new updates you can install.
Unknown source	Displays VR apps that have been manually installed on the headset using APK files. For details, see Installing APK files on the headset.
Downloading	Displays VR apps that are currently being downloaded to the headset for installation or updates.
PC VR apps	Displays PC VR apps that you can stream from your PC to your headset. For details, see Streaming PC VR apps to the headset.
2D apps	Displays Android mobile apps that have been installed using APK files. For details, see Installing APK files on the headset.

Tip:

You can also use the toggle in the upper right to quickly switch between on-device VR apps and PC VR apps that are installed on your PC.
To set the Library to display your PC VR apps by default, go to Settings, select Connectivity > Computer connection, and then turn on Set "PC VR apps" as the default Library filter.

To close the current app, open the VIVE Menu, and then select Quit.

Tip:

You can only open and use one app at a time. Your headset will prompt you to close the current app before launching another app.
The Library filter you choose will stay applied even when you leave and come back.
