How to Capture/Record KILLER VR Gameplay Footage – Oculus/Meta Quest 2, Quest 3, Quest Pro (2023)

Since the Quest 2 launched the UI (user interface) has changed A LOT and many videos showing how to record your Quest 2 gameplay are sadly out of date. Not to mention Oculus (aka Meta) has also added the ability to record gameplay in 16:9 widescreen 1080p resolution rather than the default 1:1 aspect ratio at 1024 x 1024. In this video you'll learn how to record both Native aka Stand Alone Quest 2 gameplay directly to your Quest 2 headset and how to copy your captures to a PC so you can edit them to make super sweet VR YouTube videos. Also you'll learn how to MASSIVELY improve the quality of your recordings by changing the Aspect Ratio, Frame Rate and Bit Rate of your recordings. Get ready to up your game because here we go.

Omg knowing these little tricks have made making videos for games an absolute dream. When Quest 2 launched, these questions came up so often, and nobody really knew the best way to either record high-quality videos or stream high qualy videos. Since it's launched, there have been really great and effective ways to increase the image quality of the recordings. I'm glad that you're showing the secrets for this.

Many vr content creators make such beautiful videos showing just how pretty these games really are. The reality of which can be a bit disappointing when you try to do the same, and the video comes out all muddy and blurry!

I been looking for videos like this for a long time thanks for helping me

[Quacker]

Bro you are awesome! Thank you so much you are a life saver, every tutorial I look up it always says you need side quest. Now I can make good videos with no PC, God bless you and everyone here today. ( I'm the 300th liker :] )

i haave just recorded and edited my quest 2 footage thanks to you!

You should also mention OBS and Autohotkey for people that want to stream. With AutoHotkey I have capacitive thumb "rests" set to a variety of commands like start/stop recording, save instant replay, push to talk for discord.

In Quest pop-up, you can just click the red record button. No need to click on the camera and then do it from another menu. (At 4:53, the red cicle with the white square directly beneath "Red Matter 2"). Same with starting recording, unless you want to do that before the game is started.

Funny enough, I was JUST looking at how to record. Sidequest offers something called ScrCpy and you'll be able to record using your PC....figure I mention it since it seems like less of a headache to do it this way via PC.

Also! If you want 60FPS on your video, you can always convert it using adobe premiere pro

2:25 my god, did not expect to be reminded of glove and boots in 2023 haha. this is a great tutorial, thank you for making it :D

[AnExiledShadow]

[DooritoJames]

Awesome tutorial. Maybe you have a trick how to get the internal microphone louder. There is no possibility to make it louder directly and it sucks. During the game all what I talk is almost not hearable

[nosabodavid]

seen Jesus on the back of your set-up, earned a sub from me 100% great video btw helped a lot with my videos.

[sjn]

Hey when I record on headset with standalone, after a few mins of recording my audio lags(not microphone) and as more of the recording goes the lag continues to get worse. Know of any fix?

[forexchallenge]

[pwansa]

Ok, if you are going to record a full length video around 10-20 minutes long, would you record it in segments or click record and keep it on the whole way to the end?

[Cushionion]

How do I change which eye is recorded on pcvr?
