Whatever your reason, it’s easy to record on the Quest 2 using a free and open-source software called OBS Studio. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the steps to get started with recording on your Quest 2, from installing OBS Studio to hitting the record button. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the end, you’ll be well on your way to creating your own VR content. So let’s dive in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Install the OBS Studio app on your PC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first step to recording on your Oculus Quest 2 is to install the OBS Studio app on your PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OBS Studio is a free and open-source software that allows you to record video and live stream to platforms like YouTube and Twitch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a powerful and versatile tool that is widely used by content creators, and it’s perfect for recording VR gameplay on the Quest 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get started with OBS Studio, visit the official website at https:\/\/obsproject.com\/<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Click on the “Download” button to download the latest version of the software for your operating system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the download is complete, double-click on the installer file to begin the installation process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once OBS Studio is installed, launch the app and familiarize yourself with the interface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a lot of different settings and options to explore, but you don’t need to worry about most of them right now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just make sure you know how to navigate the app and find your way around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s it for this step!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the next section, we’ll show you how to enable developer mode on your Oculus Quest 2, which is required in order to record on the device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Enable developer mode on your Oculus Quest 2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before you can start recording on your Oculus Quest 2, you need to enable developer mode on the device. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developer mode allows you to build and test your own VR experiences on the Quest 2, as well as access some advanced features that are not available to regular users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To enable developer mode on the Quest 2, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Open the Oculus app on your smartphone. This is the app that you used to set up your Quest 2.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Tap on the “Settings” icon in the bottom right corner of the app.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Scroll down to the “Device” section and tap on your Quest 2.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Tap on the “More Settings” button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Tap on the “Developer Mode” toggle to turn it on.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Follow the on-screen instructions to enter your Oculus account password and accept the developer mode terms of service.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    That’s it! Developer mode is now enabled on your Quest 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In the next step, we’ll show you how to connect your Quest 2 to your PC in order to start recording.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 3: Connect your Oculus Quest 2 to your PC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Now that you have OBS Studio installed on your PC and developer mode enabled on your Oculus Quest 2, it’s time to connect the two devices together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You’ll need to use a USB cable to connect the Quest 2 to your PC, which will allow OBS Studio to access the video feed from the Quest 2 and start recording.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To connect the Quest 2 to your PC, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. On your Quest 2, go to the “Settings” menu and select “Connections”.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Tap on the “USB” option.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Plug one end of the USB cable into your PC, and the other end into the Quest 2.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. The Quest 2 should automatically detect the connection and display a notification on the screen.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      That’s it! Your Quest 2 is now connected to your PC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In the next step, we’ll show you how to set up OBS Studio to record from the Quest 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Step 4: Set up OBS Studio to record from the Quest 2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Now that your Oculus Quest 2 is connected to your PC, it’s time to set up OBS Studio to record from the device. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      OBS Studio has a lot of different settings and options, but don’t worry \u2013 we’ll walk you through the most important ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      To set up OBS Studio to record from the Quest 2, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Launch OBS Studio on your PC.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. In the “Sources” panel, click on the “+” button to add a new source.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Select “Video Capture Device” from the list of options.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. In the “Create\/Select Source” window, give your source a name (e.g. “Quest 2”) and click “OK”.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      5. In the “Properties” window, select “Oculus Quest 2” as the video capture device.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      6. Click on the “OK” button to close the window.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        That’s it! OBS Studio is now set up to record from your Oculus Quest 2. In the next step, we’ll show you how to start recording.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Before you start recording, it’s a good idea to spend some time adjusting the various settings and options in OBS Studio to suit your needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        For example, you can choose where to save your recordings, set the video and audio quality, and customize the interface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Take some time to explore the app and get familiar with its features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Step 5: Start recording on the Quest 2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Now that you have OBS Studio set up to record from your Oculus Quest 2, it’s time to start recording! To start recording, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Make sure your Quest 2 is turned on and connected to your PC via the USB cable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • In OBS Studio, click on the “Start Recording” button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • The recording will begin immediately. You can see the elapsed time and the size of the recording in the bottom left corner of the OBS Studio window.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • To stop recording, click on the “Stop Recording” button.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          That’s it! You can find your recorded video in the location that you specified in the OBS Studio settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          There are a few additional settings and options that you might want to consider when recording on the Quest 2. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          For example, you can adjust the video and audio quality, use hotkeys to start and stop recording, and set up multiple cameras or audio sources. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Take some time to experiment with these options and find the ones that work best for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n\n\n\n

          Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
