How to download your oculus quest videos to your phone.

So maybe you got lucky and hit record at the perfect time to catch yourself burying someone in eleven table tennis, or you are trying to show your friends how incredible superhotvr is to convince them to get a quest 2 so you can get that referral credit. (ps my referral link is in the description if you’re new, preciate it) And all you want to do is download the video to your phone to throw into your group chat. Well then I made this video just for you. Also stick around because I have a trick for unlocking the best quality video recording to flex on your homies. Roll the intro.

Alright first things first if you are new to the quest lets make sure you have downloaded the oculus app onto your phone and have connected your headset to it. Surely you did this to activate your quest but hey I don’t know your vibe so here we go. 

Reminder you’ll need your bluetooth live and it’s best be on the same wifi network as your quest to connect. You can check your connection in the app by going to the menu burger on the right then devices then hit connect booya step one done. 

Alright now lets drop the headset onto your brain and make sure we know how to record that fire video of your sick quest gameplay. 

While you are inside your game, maybe drawing a giant uhhh bunny in gravity sketch (which is free by the way) hit the oculus button on your right hand and click on the camera icon to start recording. Of course mine is red but yours will be grey like the others. 

 You’ll of course see the camera icon turn red like mine  to confirm it’s recording. Now once you finish drawing your sweet sweet bunny then drop that uno reverse and click the oculus button again to go and stop the recording.

You can also do this by clicking the pink share button with the arrows.

Now when you are done with your funny bunny time exit your game and go to your apps menu and choose the files app. Now up in the top right you can turn auto sync on or off let’s turn it on.

Now that this is enabled find your video and click the three dots to select sync and wala it is now being sent to your phone. Give it a little time and feel free to go play something else and check back and you’ll see that it has synced sunk? Let’s go with sunk. 

Now you can make your way to the oculus app and choose gallery you’ll see your video. You may need to swipe down to refresh to see your latest clip. 

Tap your vid and then tap share and you’ll be able to download it and save to your phone or send to your friends.  Fair warning the longer the video the longer it will take to process and download so set thy expectations accordingly. 

So you may be saying well Woodie I’ve done all that and my video is square and the quality sorta sucks. Well if you want to learn how to take your quest to the next level and get that beautiful 1080 widescreen footage click on the screen now and I’ll see you in the next video.
