You’ve had your quest for a little bit and you’re wondering can I make this thing even better than what it already is? Can I get my quest video recordings to be widescreen and in 1080p? The answer is yes let me show you how.

First things first you are going to need your phone with the oculus app, a computer pc or mac and either the usb c cable your quest came with or a usb c to usb a cable to connect your headset to your computer depending on the types of ports you have.

Lets get all the dirty work out of the way by first enabling dev mode on your headset. Head over to developer.oculus.com and  sign up using your facebook / oculus account and then head to https://developer.oculus.com/manage/organizations/create/ 

You’ll first need to verify your account by adding a credit card or a mobile phone number, I suggest using a phone number and if you want to stay private get yourself a google voice number. And thats my elliott alderson mr robot tip of the day.

Once verified Click the back to home button and create your fake dev organization by entering any name in the text box on the right for example say something like Zuck Daddy then click the understand check box and submit. Then pretend to read the disclosure agreement and hit agree. I promise this will all be worth it!

Whip out your phone and open the oculus app tap on the menu burger and then devices and then scroll down to developer mode under headset settings and then enable the toggle switch.

Jaunty on over to your computer and head to sidequestvr.com and at the top click get sidequest. Download the version that works with your operating system and then install it. If you are on windows you will have the added joy of downloading the developer drivers from oculus: https://developer.oculus.com/downloads/package/oculus-adb-drivers

If you are on mac you are good to go, on PC you will need to unzip the drivers install file and then open the usb drivers folder and then inside choose the file android_winusb.inf right click and install and then give yourself a fist bump we are almost done.

Time to make the sacred connection. Open the sidequest app on your computer and plugin your quest to your pc. Then inside the headset choose allow usb debugging and access to data. Now you can remove your headset and you will see in the top left corner of the sidequest app the icon is now green and you are connected.

Now lets freakin level up our headset! Inside sidequest hit the wrench up top and now you have all the tools at your disposal. The key ones I would suggest are to set video capture size to 1080, up the gpu and cpu level if you have an external battery and the texture size to 2048.

I do understand that was a lot but in my opinion its worth it for the widescreen video and quality bump alone. let me know in the comments if this was helpful, and if you want to keep up with the latest quest news subscribe and click one of these videos on the screen now and lets continue our quest in the next video!
