# Turning on spatial data permission

To use mixed reality on a Meta Quest headset, you must allow the ENGAGE application to access spatial data stored on the device. If this permission is not requested when you install ENGAGE, you initially deny permission, or you turn it off, then you must turn it on manually.

To manually turn on permission to access spatial data, complete the following steps:

1. Press the Meta or Oculus button on your right Touch controller to open the universal menu.
2. Select the clock to open the **Quick settings** panel.
3. Select **Settings**, and then select **Privacy and safety**.
4. Select **App permissions**, and then select **Spatial data**.
5. Turn on the spatial data permission for ENGAGE.
