How to change oculus link background

When I connect to my PC via link cable or airplay, I'm taken to an infinite white gridded room, with my settings dock floating at the bottom.

Is there a way to change the background here? I've searched for answers to this question, but I only find people talking about changing the Oculus Home background (the place I arrive at when I first boot up the Quest 2, before linking up to my PC - I think? But edit, on second look, it seems Oculus Home refers to the space I'm in when I enter via link cable or air play).

I'd love to be able to work on my desktop PC in VR in a fun environment or home space I've set up, rather than the bright white box.

Thanks!

Hello markwest76, we see you are inquiring about changing the background of the Oculus Link main menu screen. We would like to look further into this to review your options.

The Oculus Quest features hundreds of virtual reality experiences that span many genres. However, there are many features other than games that you can enjoy on your Oculus Quest headset, and one of the most notable is the home environment that you can view in virtual reality.

Home environments aren't particularly interesting on most video game consoles; however, virtual reality makes them more unique because you can view them in a VR space. Virtual reality adds realism to everything within it because it appears real, and home environments for the Oculus Quest follow this trend. There are lots of home environments to choose from on the Oculus Quest; however, you need to know how to change it through the settings menu first.
