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.

[@Evol1HipHop]

Facts. Ive never accidentally turned it on…if it becomes a problem, I’ll probably turn it off, it until then…stays on. Lol

[@iambear.6526]

Same, I'm not even sure how you would even accidently activate it.

[@Dinool]

Same here.

[@terrystokes7893]

Definitely 😁

[@junai_sosa_media]

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.

[@5avagegame567]

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

[@GmanGavin1]

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

[@BritishBoy]

Most of these can also apply to the quest 3, but i would recommend: - not turning off double tap passthrough -keep controller vibrations on high The quest 3 has a more important XR passthrough, so the double tap is a fantastic shortcut. The quest 3's controller haptics are vastly improved over the quest 2's and really help to add immersion. It doesn't drain the headset's battery life either, only the controller battery (which is already super good). Another side note is that the lenses are *physically* a couple centimeters from your eyes, but the lenses make them *optically* about 1.5m away. It's not as bad as you'd think.

[@RSCOZZY]

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.

[@KPoWasTaken]

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

[@StupidCritter]

As a the climb player, I love the vibrations.

[@Acilius.]

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

[@kaysarinc]

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.

[@kaysarinc]

Thanks for your feedback. I personally don’t like the vibrations and always turn it off, vr or not. And for the double tap pass through, I can see how it’s useful but I personally don’t really like it much

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

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!

[@thecocopopscroc]

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

[@badpanda311]

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

[@donovan1345]

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.

[@0secdox]

Please tell me you have figured out a way to wear your glasses and play your oculus without any complications. If you haven't figured it out did you end up getting lenses by chance or order another accessory ?? Thank you very much in advance

[@ogtxallstar7361]

​@@0secdoxthey come with a glasses spacer, but if you bought it used then the original owner likely discarded it. It's a really thin piece that snaps into the headset before the padded ...eye rest? Idk the thing that looks like goggles without the lens. I would imagine they sell replacements for them somewhere online, or maybe you could try to buy one of those used from someone too, they're really thin but surprisingly they create just enough space to compensate for glasses

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

Most PC gamers arent turning off notifications for .2 more fps.
