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

  • Screenshot:

    • Quickly click the Oculus Home ('O') button on the right-hand controller THEN quickly press and release the front trigger on the controller.

  • Screen recording:

    • To Start a recording, quickly press the Oculus Home ('O') button on the right-hand controller, THEN quickly press and release the front trigger on the controller. A yellow dot will first appear, with a notification indicating the recording has started, followed shortly by a red dot, indicating the recording is active.

    • To Stop the recording, simply repeat the same button presses.

Once completed, you should receive an in-headset notification from the Quest OS. 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.
