A note regarding power banks. Not all will actively charge the headset while playing. In fact you should look for one with chick charging usbc to usbc function outputting upwards of 20W. I have one outputting up to 30W and don't have any issues with battery life anymore

[@EatSleepVR]

Thanks, this is good to know, I think I’ll make a separate video on this as the quest 3 is hungrier than the 2 and choosing a powerbank is always tricky.

[@ExpandedUniverse000]

@@EatSleepVRdid you?

[@XX-cu4ug]

Can you elaborate a bit plz, which brand or what should i search for online?

[@EatSleepVR]

[@brokensword2621]

great tips as always. i just want to add something about power bank: your power bank must have type c output and handle at least 18 watt for external device. because quest 3 is a power hungry device and in the intense and heavy graphices games when the headset use its full power draw, if your power bank cant handle at least 18 watt power output the headset is not charged and eventually died out fast. i recommended power bank with type c output and 20 watt output power.

[@EatSleepVR]

Yes the Anker power core 10000 says 25w output on usbc - thanks for the comment

[@bluebell1]

I knew all of this already but it’s a great video. Thank you!😊

[@EatSleepVR]

Thanks for the comment, much appreciated 👍

[@GabrielquintasYT]

3:00 "you also don't want your 5 year old to play saints & sinners" as if a 5 year old should be using a VR console at all 💀 great video!

[@christiandonnoli8841]

Thank you for your helpful video! Do you recommend the Elite Strap? Can you make a video with your opinion about it? Thank you

[@EatSleepVR]

Hi thanks, yes I do and I have a quick video out on it hopefully this week

[@stutuckerphotography]

cheers for this. Do you know when we will be able to use dictation on the keyboard in uk?

[@EatSleepVR]

For some reason voice control wasn’t activated with the quest 2 or quest 3 and I haven’t ever read why or heard if it will change. So dictation will be similar I would think as it’s reliant on the same thing.

[@mhodson2504]

just found your chanel and im getting the quest soon should i buy the headset only or order extras thanks

[@EatSleepVR]

I’d get just the headset to start with - you might find the head strap comfy enough - plus there will be loads of new head straps out in the coming months that are cheaper than the Elite strap

[@tomcatvrkalisz820]

how to get rid the recently meet notification/window?

[@nashfan1000]

Thank you for the videos. Do have a question though you said that you can set ipd to min or Max but you did not say how to get to the minimum that was not the mechanical minimum all the way down to 53. Thank you for info

[@EatSleepVR]

Hi Steve - you can set it mechanically to the number stated but there is an accommodation range that is a wider range than the number you see. You don’t set it - the headset just accommodates a range bigger than the minimum and maximum so if your ipd is at either end of the scale then you set it to min or max.

[@henrykhosasih8781]

Can you pair the headset with the mobile quest app that are both logged in with a secondary account? I tried it but I'm stuck on the "Checking headset status" page :/

[@EatSleepVR]

You have to log out on the app before you can add and pair an additional account which is probably why you are getting that error.

[@danw3070]

I will sometimes move to a different room for more space or to avoid interruption. I lose the long menu bar and find it difficult to locate it without turning the headset off and restarting it. Any suggestions?

[@EatSleepVR]

I had this and sometimes I would keep pressing the oculus button and other times go to turn it off but then select cancel and this sometimes sorts it - I haven’t had it recently though. Hopefully it will get sorted in the next update.

[@WillWill56]

Hold the Oculus button/Meta button down for a few seconds to re-center, this will bring the menu bar back in front of your face.

[@mrspicolli]

you mentioned. accommodation I. P. D... But you did not specify where that could be set or where it is adjusted. and I haven't found anything else on the Internet that says this exists. My **** has been blurry since I got it. I even downloaded an old side question. that allowed me to change the refresh rate. and nothing.

[@mavchb]

I just got the Quest 3 and my passthrough image does look much more pixely then what you show in the video. (like I could not read anything on my phone) I thought I forgot to take of some peels but no. Is there something I am missing?

[@EatSleepVR]

The recorded image always looks better than the real image. Make sure you have plenty of light as this makes a huge difference.

[@SD-zx1uh]

Same with me, change the “IPD” button adjustment to see through that could help and also ensure you’re in a bright room

[@marv372]

Can you please help me? I got my Quest 3 and its terrible graphics quality, looks blurry and muddy, I've watch so many videos and It did not help me.

[@EatSleepVR]

I would return it and buy another one from a different place in case it was a bad batch. Also the quality in he headset will never match the gameplay videos you see on KZbin it will always be very different so it depends what your expectations are as well and whether you’ve used vr before or not. The quality isn’t the same as a console for example,

[@FalkyraXD]

Just opened the vid but before I go anywhere I know that no1 has done this yet. I'm asking EVERYWHERE! how does 1 manipulate the quest 3 to record passthrough while boundry is off for large scale MR games

[@EatSleepVR]

I didn’t even realise this - I just turned off the boundary and damn it only records a black screen, the words on screen and the audio in drop dead home invasion. Great question but I don’t have the answer sorry.

[@FalkyraXD]

@EatSleepVR no worries. Keep your ear down too then I guess. All creators could use the info

[@HarveyTAS]

What was that IPD app you used?

[@EatSleepVR]

On iPhone the Eye Measure app - on android you can use Glasseson

[@SeerProphet]

Could the power bank harm the headset? Also, could you link the actual power bank? I click the link and it takes me to the page but I'm not sure which one you're talking about.

[@EatSleepVR]

I’ve used powerbanks with the Quest 2 for 3 years with no issues but you need to do it at your own risk. There’s a lot on Reddit about it. Annoyingly on Amazon US the search wouldn’t bring up any of the anker powerbanks. It’s the Anker powercore redux 10000 which is still sold in the UK - you want one with usbc output.

[@maegnificant]

The Quest 2 powerbanks do not have the same Voltage as the Quest 3 battery. It is too low.

[@dtrjones]

​@@maegnificant if you looked at the video, you would see the powerbank was an independant battery not one of those 5W (5v 1A) quest strap battary powerpacks. The anker powercore redux 10000 mentioned here is 18W (5v 3A) and I would suggest anything 18W or over should be fine.

[@maegnificant]

@@dtrjones I am talking about Volt. Not Watts.

[@maegnificant]

@@dtrjones the Quest 2 has a lower current than the Quest 3, which means the lower the charge of the headset is, the less likely a battery with a lower current is going to actually charge the battery.

[@luisinho8955]

Can I use a power bank that exceeds 10,000mAh? I have a 20,000mAh powerbank from Baseus (22.5w), which is a reliable brand, I believe. At least that's what people say

[@EatSleepVR]

Others have used 20,000 in their pocket - I went for 10 because with the quest 2 originally I was putting it on the headset and 10k is quite light. Have a look on Reddit there’s some good info on there.

[@GreenBlueWalkthrough]

5:14 the issue is when the quest 3 is pushed it won't charge very well like you an have a split link cable to your PC and a 100W power brick and it will drain the same as with out it jut playing MR/Updated VR games.

[@EatSleepVR]

Yes good point, I haven’t tried it on pc with a split link cable - didn’t even know this was possible.

[@Remix26]

Heads up, DLC is not shared between profiles. If the alt profile tries to use dlc it will tell them to purchase the DLC and also the game since they don't own it to buy the DLC. It's completely broken.

[@EatSleepVR]

Oh man that sucks and is not made very clear, that’s very broken as you say - it says you can share eligible apps so maybe there are only a few eligible ones! Thanks for the comment, good for others to know 👍

[@Remix26]

@@EatSleepVR Wish I knew before buying DLC that others were going to use. Tried using some Beat Saber songs on another profile and it didnt' work. Did a little digging and found tons of posts on reddit and the meta community forums about this. Such a bad process and should be a warning up front about this.

[@caharlis]

Most people don’t usually share a quest tho but that still sucks. Also wouldn’t that suck to have to share one? I know that sounds bad but I mean, sharing a computer is one thing but a vr headset would just suck

[@EatSleepVR]

@@caharlis if the family play then I think creating different profiles is good for saving progress and achievements and if you go online you’d want to be seen with your own name I suppose not someone else’s. App sharing is great if you have more than one headset in the same house.

[@Remix26]

@@caharlis still they should have some kind of household sharing if I’m going to buy multiple headsets. There’s no warning and no info on it unless you specifically ask.

[@ro30tjman]

Can you use 2 headsets on one account?

[@EatSleepVR]

Yes, I have the quest 2 and 3 on the same account.

[@ro30tjman]

Thanks for the info@@EatSleepVR

[@repvoid7680]

I hope they fix the grey blacks through updates somehow lol

[@EatSleepVR]

I keep seeing videos about update 59 but mines still on 57 and it says no updates available

[@repvoid7680]

​@@EatSleepVRMine is on update 57 too, I think 59 is gradually being released to users.

[@caharlis]

I wouldn’t want to tap my controllers together considering the price because I’d feel like I’ve damaged them

[@EatSleepVR]

Yeah fair point 👍

[@Paullyell]

I clicked thinking i would learn something these are all well known tips but thanks for sharing them.

[@user-bf1wb3mr8x]

Not well known to someone who just bought a quest for the first time

[@harshagarwal383]

IPD app name?

[@EatSleepVR]

The eye measure app or glasseson in android

[@icttrainer]

Thanks for the video. BTW, the easiest powerdown option (in my opinion) is to just hold the powerbutton until the headset powers down.

[@EatSleepVR]

Thanks for the comment - Yes that’s what I do - I think the problem sometimes is that people think they’ve powered it off but all they’ve done is put it in standby mode because they haven’t held it for long enough and then the battery goes dead. I did this myself a number of times when I first got the headset - it was very annoying
