Meta Discontinues Horizon Workrooms and B2B VR Program, Shifts⁢ Focus to Education

Meta is streamlining its virtual reality (VR)‌ efforts by ⁣discontinuing Horizon Workrooms, its VR ‍office submission, and Meta Horizon Managed Solutions, its business-to-business (B2B) VR ‍program. This decision reflects a‌ strategic shift away from enterprise solutions and towards educational applications for its Meta quest headsets.

Horizon Workrooms sunsetted

Horizon⁣ Workrooms, launched during the pandemic as ⁤a virtual ‌workspace for remote collaboration, will cease operations on February 16, 2026. The application allowed⁢ users to interact as avatars in virtual meeting spaces, access their desktops, and collaborate on whiteboards using Meta Quest 2 headsets. Advancement⁣ slowed considerably after an update ⁤in 2024 that streamlined the app and removed features. The Verge ‍first reported ‍the news.
