How to record your screen on Meta Quest 3S?

From the main headset interface:
- Press the Meta button (right controller) to open the universal menu.

2. Start the recording
To begin recording:
- Open the “Camera” app.
- Click “Record video”.

- A discreet red icon (usually at the bottom right) shows that recording is active.
You can continue using the headset normally while recording.
Or
- Hold the Meta button + Trigger on your controller to start recording.
- To stop recording, hold the Meta button + Trigger again.
3. Stop the recording
To end the recording:
- Return to the Camera/Share menu.
- Click “Stop recording”.
- A notification confirms the video has been saved.
- Recording also stops if you exit an app or turn off the headset.
4. Access your recorded videos
Recordings are stored locally in the headset:
- Open the “Gallery” or “Files” app from your library.
- Go to the “Captures” or “Videos” folder.
- You can view, delete, or transfer the videos from there.
To transfer videos to a PC:
- Connect the headset to your computer via USB-C.
- Allow file access on the headset.

5. Tips to improve quality
- By default, recordings are made at 30 fps. To switch to 60 fps, enable developer mode and use a tool like SideQuest.
- Close unused apps to avoid lag.
- Recording drains battery: ensure you have at least 50% before starting.
