Overview
ArborXR Home and ArborXR Kiosk Mode provide a screen recording feature, but this is not available on Meta Quest devices at present. Once Meta enables this functionality for MDMs, we will support it for Quest devices as well.
In the meantime, to take screenshots or capture screen recordings on Meta Quest devices while they are configured to ArborXR Home or ArborXR Kiosk Mode, use Meta's native screenshot and screen recording tools.
Below are the two options for taking screenshots and capturing screen recordings on Meta Quest Devices.
Option 1: Meta Quest Controller
NOTE: by default, the Oculus (‘O’)/Meta Home button is mapped on the right-handed controller. If using an alternate home button mapping on the left-handed controller, substitute its Menu button (three vertical lines) for the Oculus (‘O’)/Meta Home button in the steps below.
Screenshot:
On the right-handed controller, quickly click and hold the Oculus (‘O’)/Meta Home button, then immediately press and release the front trigger on the controller. You will hear a camera shutter sound and see an in-headset notification to indicate that a screenshot was taken. It should disappear within a few seconds.
Screen recording:
To Start a recording, press and hold the Oculus (‘O’)/Meta Home button on the right-hand controller, for about 1 second, and no longer, then press and hold the front trigger button. Wait until you hear a tone and notification from the Quest OS, then release the buttons. In the upper right corner of your field of view, a yellow dot will first appear, followed shortly after by a red dot, indicating the recording is active.
To Stop the recording, repeat the same button presses above. Once completed, the Quest device will sound a tone, and an in-headset notification from the Quest OS will indicate that the recording was saved to your Quest device. It should disappear within a few seconds.
Option 2: Temporarily Exit ArborXR Home / ArborXR Kiosk Mode
Alternatively, you can temporarily exit ArborXR Home or ArborXR Kiosk Mode to access Meta's home environment and then interact with Meta's Camera app to take screenshots or capture screen recordings.
