Prerequisites for Mesh Development
Platforms
Mesh is available for PC and Quest 2. The Mesh toolkit does not work on the Mac.
License requirement
A Teams Premium license is required for using the Mesh application for custom immersive spaces in Mesh on PC and Quest. A license isn't required to develop with the Mesh toolkit, but you'll be blocked from building and publishing Environments to Mesh and organizing or joining events in Mesh if you and your users don't have Teams Premium licenses. For more information, see the article named Set up Microsoft Mesh.
