How do I set up my Headset to use Animotive?

Using Animotive with Quest Pro Facial tracking requires having your Quest running in developer mode. To start, you’ll have to register as a developer with Meta. 1) Go to developer.oculus.com/sign-up/, read the instructions, then click the Sign Up button. Log into the Facebook, Meta, or Oculus account that you use with your headset. From there, create an organization, which you can name whatever you like. 2) Put your Quest Pro into developer mode. The easiest way is by going to the Quest app on your phone, tapping Menu, and then going to Devices. Select your Quest, then scroll to Headset Settings. Tap Developer Settings, then use the toggle to turn developer mode on. 3) On Your headset under settings/ movement tracking, make sure Eye tracking and Natural Facial Expressions are enabled. 4) Enable the following settings in the oculus desktop app.
