10 Quest 2 Settings You MUST Turn Off NOW (2024) 

System - Voice commands off Voice activity delete Voice storage - Store transcripts off Experimental Hey Facebook off Notifications - phone notifications off Apps - disable notifications Personalization- display theme dark mode on / light off Night mode on (esp. late night) Guardian double tap off Space sense off Roomscale- space sense off Permissions - contacts Off

i actually do use the double tap pass through quite a bit, if someone knocks on my door i can turn on pass through, look in their direction and at least pretend i'm paying attention to them.

I could not disagree more about disabling notifications. As someone who works from home, this feature is critical with me and insanely useful.

5:12 I've actually only used double tap pass through. Feature I use all the time.

OMG thanks so much! You’re a battery saver!

Bro I didn't ask for this roast, I just needed tips on my quest lmao

Great video. Not everyone is comfortable with the standard settings, and I personally, always want to switch as many privacy settings as possible. I am not young, but certainly not old, so it's a principle thing for me.

I literally just got a quest 2 so thank you dude

Hey dude - I've been using this and other platforms for a good long while now - and your video did give me the motivation to make the effort and finish off the "fine-tuning" of the settings; granted, most of them I already had done, but not all ;-) anyway, well done

I'll agree on the space sense. Good idea in theory, but also I have a *ceiling fan* right above me and I've never been more aware of it in my entire life Desperately need vibration on though because my vision sucks + my glasses are too thick for prescription inserts so I need all the non-visual feedback I can get

very informative thank you so much

i have all of these on, "It will listen to your voice!" like it isnt already 24/7. (You have a phone.) "Turn off double tap passthrough", Why? It never turns on unless you touch the side of your headset. And it is TAP. Not violently punch your headset. I usually gently tap the side of my controller if somebody irl is needing my attention. Space sense isnt bad if you put it on the right setting, Along with its adjustable with 3 settings. Adjust as need. Controller vibrations are really immersive, Enjoyable! If your controllers are "Dying all the time!" get a charging dock or use rechargables/have more batteries. It doesnt take long to swap the batteries, But i do understand turning it down (not off though!) Recording, why would you use it? The only use i see for it is showing your friends quick clips. Not making entire videos. If you want that done, Link cable and pc! I think thats pretty simple. Or use Airlink since nobody likes a wire on their head. Recording just makes most VR experiences unplayable or unenjoyable during. Making hour long footage on your pc is probably much more efficient than having to transfer hundreds of clips to your pc with your phone. Permissions, Why? Understandable you should know what apps have access to your device, (Especially app labs or otherwise sketchy apps,) But some apps may have valid reasons or restrict features, I feel like it would just be a drag to open up settings for that reason and block the permissions, If its sketchy, Block the whole thing! Uninstall! This entire video seems shit out by somebody who didnt know their balls will grow hair.

What's weird is VR is actually the only time I use controller vibrations. You said it was one of the worst vibrations but to me it really is important in VR but xbox/playstation controllers vibration is bad. Might just be because I play Beat Saber though

I happen to use double tap pass through all the time but I agree with the outline thing

wow thanks for this...very informative vid!!!

I totally agree with most of these, but there's no way I'd turn off vibration 😅 I need that BZZZZZZZ when I touch my beat sabers together!

Love the humor mixed in with the fact that you understand you know what’s up. They think they are so sly lol

Thanks for these tips 👍🏻

Why yes, those glasses are quite cool and very helpful. Thanks!

which quest 2 update you have this for , i do not see on v62 update on my quest 2

Double tap for passthrough is another amazing feature that I use all the time. Man, your list is questionable... 🤔 Edit: I like the vibration on the Quest 2 controllers. It feels a lot better than I was expecting. Another bad point on this list.

what's the music called playing at the start of the video?? i hear this so much on youtube but never found the name

they removed voice commands

All is good.. only vibration thingy i like the feel of it in many games

Oh trust me, I will watch this again once I get mine

Mom's text though "you're adopted" 😂😂😂

hey guys, can i turn off holoport? i used to be able to move around with the thumbstick and now i can’t find the option to switch it back to that. thanks.

When I had double tap pass through on it would work when I didn’t want to use it and when I did it would take like 10 tries

For the space sence bro is going easy on it it outlines things that are not even in the boundary zone which makes it completely useless because there’s already a setting which makes you see if you’re outside the boundary Zone or not

can u make a video abt low performance? after a year my quest 2 is kinda laggy

with the wifi bands you could be wrong if the signal to the 5ghz networkis weak youd be better off on 2.4 ideally you'd need to be in the same room as the router for any benefit and that's providing you have good broadband

I got one coming for my birthday in a few days, I'm excited. Question: Do I need a Facebook account? Because I occasionally get banned and I really just care about playing steam games with the link thing.

So, I'm trying to watch video about space in the TV mode... there is a blue line going right through the middle of it... how do I get rid of that.... thanks for the info here.. my pass through mode is a grey scale fuzzy screen that hurts my eyes. This was very informative, thanks..

How do you take off live vision 😊

I just didn't sync up anything when I got my quest 2 a couple days ago. Majority of these either don't matter or were off by default cause I just used a fresh email. Lol

not even a minute in I have to prove a point, (not hate btw) most voice commands or voice assistants only actually start listening and recognizing words if you say a wake word, like hey Google, hey Siri, or hey meta etc and while your not saying the wake word, aka not trying to talk to the assistant the rest of the device is off, until you say the wake word

The WiFi tip is misleading. Although 5G is better for gaming, it is not great at penetrating walls. So in some situations 2G is better!

bro thanks but still i cannot conect to any internet do you know how i could fix that???

What’s the song int eh background? Pleas d😅

1:53 i wouldn't say nobody asked for it, u can use the voice assistant to launch games, like "hey facebook launch beat saber" and it launches it 'hey facebook turn of the headset" and it does it, navigating in very Ui is hell and using your voice helps its not like a phone where u can easliy scroll through the settings, its easier to launch a game like dat rather than scroling down with the touch controllers which is a waste of time

I didn’t even know it had voice commands haha

literally subscribed just because of the fact that he roasted me with 0 regret and didnt apologize lol. people really be getting too scared to even make a JOKE about someone being dumb without promptly apologizing :/

why are the best and most useful settings ob this list

Im getting a quest in 6 days I'll be coming back to do this Update: i forgot but i got the quest

why does everyone "value" their privacy? what does it matter if gorilla tag has my location? or beat saber, rec room, vrchat, literally every game. why does it matter? why does everyone hate their information being sold? is it that important? what's the worst an app can do?

Thanks, i want to be able to spend as much time playing gtag everyday

I’m gonna. One back to this

Speaking of loud sudden noises, this video was full of them with those unabated sound-bytes, which were in very high contrast to your oddly soft spoked voice. As i tried to watch this somewhat quietly in my house with paper thin walls

I have 6g on my magenta speedport 4 on my phone i have so the data it is like 5g too

I simply don't use any application or device that doesn't have some form of dark mode if the background isn't already,.

Anyone else watching vids like these wait for theirs to arrive? BECUASE I am!

turning off vibration for me is the worst thing to do because i play gorilla tag a lot and it feels weird when you touch the ground and you don't feel the small vibration or if you tag someone

Dark mode gang 😎

Or how about not smacking the side of your headset twice in a row? I've had my quest 2 since launch and only bumped into passthrough like 2 times, and it's been years. But since I have glasses and knowing you can't just, "Slide it up on your forehead" with glasses on, I enjoy the ability to tap the side twice to see something irl, like turning on a fan or grabbing the phone. So I'm not turning it off.

only thing this video did was introduce me to a feature i ended up turning ON

Nah leaving the mic on can might just drain its battery because just like PlayStation it’s gonna keep the mic running just in case you use voice commands

thankkkkk you for camera part for made video thank you really

When you delete your previously said data, facebook still has it and still sells it. Even if they say they don't, they are probably lying.

Oh you said hey facebook, I thought you said "Hate Facebook feature" 😅

this just feels like long form youtube shorts, I can tell where it would be cut away for other shorts

I'm an idiot 5G 🤣🤣🤣 took me a while to notice that 🤦🏾‍♂️😅

what game is at 3:00 minute mark?

It’s actually 12 because of intro and outro how do I turn them off?

pass through is often disabled on the menu double tap works almost every time i rarely have any issues and they dont last longer then a couple seconds also space sense isnt bad altho i kinda prefer xr room objects also i think that is also on the quick menu so i turned it off any time i didnt want it had to go to settings to toggle space sense when i dont want to use it which is so annoying

I like the white Theme Because some RU-vidrs Have it you know?

Personally instead of having space since I just turned off boundary

I was on youtube vr and puased a video to look at my phone real quick, I had the headset halfway on and could still see the screen ,and while the video was puased I could hear someone whispering something, and when i said hey (this is not a joke) a voice that I'm pretty sure was the tf2 heavy says hey back aggressively and says you have 5 seconds ro go back to bed when he started counting I turned off the headset. Has anyone experienced something like this??

Dont have a 5g connection and every 5g connection ive tried to connect to didn't have service.

I was the 100th person to like!

Non existing friends 😭

wait i'm confused the vid is talking abt settings u should turn off if we need to turn them off why he say we turn on night mode

For some reason my left controller dosent work properly when i walk straight in a game i got backwards can somebody help me pls

Please help me I can’t find voice command in my system

Hi

Bro was dissing me the whole video💀💀💀

My controller's battery life last almost a month, before I have to change them, and I play my quest a few hours everyday. Not turning off vibration. These are just weird "MUST TURN OFFs."

YOOOOOOOO 2024 WAS 9 MONTHS AGO THATS CRAZY 🤯

The sketch game is called gravity sketch

the voice commands are not there for me?

Facebook put my first name and I had to get my email and password that I put on oculus and it put my first name on their on oculus and then people say my name and I got to not let them say my first name.

Im sorry but i disagree with turning off vibrations, games feel so weird without them and the controllets hardly use that much battery life anyway.

i feel you'd be getting less comments abt disagreements if you just renamed this video to something like "10 quest 2 settings you MIGHT WANT TO turn off NOW but i get that doesnt work as well in the algorithm

Vibrations for games should be maximum I bought it for this damn quest 3 is better people be saying

I don't have the voice command in my system?

If you're gaming and still use the ISP provided router you're doing yourself a disservice!!! Stop renting there device that's designed to throttle your connections and buy one. I have a Deco x55 mesh network and pay for 400mbps download speed but get 450-460 with the spectrum router i was getting 320. 😮

What if my vr hears me watching this

7:44 name of game?

1:39 story of my life

Not like your phone is already listening to you or anything 😂

My glasses are already anti blue light so i don't have to turn on night mode

Pass through also sucks with the Snapdragon cause if you want to make your thing loose well it snaps and makes it think you want to pass through its fudging sucks 😡

I have a quest 2

Dude I don't have the voice commands tab in my quest 2, wtf...

you should turn down the bass in your video sound. cant listen to it if my headphones seems to be inside a rave.

why my desk is black and not blue like all others??

anyone got an idea why my clips don’t download to my oculus app most of the time

who's holding the controller sideway like a gun in oculus menu?

What if my wifi is one regular wifi name and one 2g name?

I have a wifi that *decides whether or not it’s better for 5g or 2g. It thinks my headset it better for 5g

I always have 5g on it just cuts out ever minute
