you are are very very cute woman. sides that. thanks for the tips :))

[@BN99239]

The battery issue is not that big a deal nowadays. Battery technology is different and modern devices know how to manage a full charge better now. The only thing that really matters is leaving the device unused for months while it's at 100% charge or 0% charge. If you're going to use it every day, or every couple of days, it's completely okay to charge it to 100% now. Don't stress over battery too much.

[@FUNRobster]

Excellent tips. I am concidering upgrading my Rift S to the Quest 3 and most of these are really helpful. Thanks!

[@monkeynews8311]

The extension for glasses is also good if you find you get a lot of pressure on the bridge of your nose. I had this issue with quest 2 and 3 until I noticed you can change the distance to the lenses and now it's much more comfortable to wear.

[@querovernatv]

How long is your battery lasting?

[@breezington1954]

@@querovernatvjust bought mine yesterday and I only got about 1hr with full charge. I was trying a lot of more mixed reality and supposedly it drains the battery more than the only vr stuff for some reason. I have a battery strap extension coming in the mail hopefully it helps with extending the life a bit longer.

[@breezington1954]

I’m also a completely new VR user haven’t ever used anything before besides trying the meta quest 2 once and it was the only reason I decided to buy the quest 3.

[@sazomedia]

Is there a way to move SideQuest apps and sideloaded APKs outside of the Unknown Sources sub menu? I always forget I have stuff there

[@cobruh836]

i need glasses, but i just use contact lenses when im using the headset. however the adjustment of the facial interface was still very handy for me since i have very long eyelashes (for a guy) and constantly made contact with the lenses. that was not only annoying, but also made them dirty, because of bodyfat

[@GetFitWithSelim]

Hi there! Thanks for the great tips! I have a quick questions and wondering if you could suggest a solution. I am using Quest 3. Most of my movies are in an external hard drive, when I am watching them, I cannot charge my VR headset at the same time since there is only one USB C port on the headset. Do you know some kind of adapter that would split the USB C port so I can have power and external hard drive connected? Thanks and keep up the great work!

[@poopickel]

I am on Bobo’s website and I don’t see that battery pack, standalone where did you get it?

[@papirico2227]

Question for you @DiscoVR Is there an app to help game graphics? Thank you Hope all is well

[@whatsupchicken]

Does the sideloaded netflix apk have better resolution than the default app? Thanx.

[@robobass25]

My glasses frames aren’t thick enough to get even close to scratching the lenses :) so maybe if you have thicker gasses it might not work. I have ordered special lenses for the headset though.

[@FernandezF13]

We need baby tickle moments in your future video!😀 Love all the tips thank you for taking the time to up grading our Quest 3 experience.

[@DiscoVRTetiana]

haha I shared a bit more on my Twitter :D

[@ImTrans-Former]

I just want the Ready Player one lvl headset and visuals. Oh and this comment was brought to you by Sidewuest

[@DistraughtRobot]

You can also turn off the proximity sensor in your Quest settings by turning off "auto-wake". That way you don't need to fiddle with it every time you power up.

[@capolihu]

Can I play Nintendo Switch game on this Q3 similarly as you emulate others? Thanks

[@lovedfriend2020]

Hi, I am new to VR/AR. I am still thinking of getting this vs Nreal AR glasses. Hearing your baby is so cute and made me smile!

[@DiscoVRTetiana]

Thank you! Well, quest 3 is a stand alone device, meaning you don’t have to connect it to anything, it has its own games ABs apps. and nreal is basically like a monitor which needs to be plugged in into a device like a console. Maybe this will help you make your decision!

[@lovedfriend2020]

@@DiscoVRTetiana Yep I am waiting to find a used Quest 3 or I heard there is a Quest Lite coming for around $250 to $300

[@robobass25]

Where can I get one of those batteries and the battery mount and cable? Can’t find them in ebay. They only sell the batteries by themself or the ones with the headstrap. I already have a headstrap with a battery but it’s not the bobovr brand. So just looking for an alternative way I can keep on playing when both the headset and my external headstrap battery dies…

[@angryginger791]

I mostly use my Q3 for PCVR (sim racing), so I can't use a battery strap. Will a powered USB cable keep it charged? This seems like a major problem, especially if charging it to 100% or letting it drop below 25% hurts battery life.

[@eyriewow4297]

I would advise against using the battery saver mode as of right now. There is an issue with the Quest 3 getting "stuck" in that mode, leading to permanently decreased performance, and I don't think this has been fixed yet.

[@CadyCadwell]

14:19 me when my Q3 arrived this morning 😋😋😊

[@AvalineSky]

You have to disclose in the video audio that the prescription lens inserts were sponsored

[@querovernatv]

How long does the Quest 3 battery last? I bought it this week and playing or watching movies the battery lasts about 45 minutes

[@ArlenKundert]

Another really cool thing about Banter is that every Sunday Shane Harris (CEO of SideQuest and Banter) does a live AMA inside of Banter. He’s really cool about answering anything XR and XR adjacent. 🙂

[@Snorlax-Gigantamax]

Power savings mode has a bug that persistently lowers your resolution on some headsets even with restart.

[@shirleycastle5170]

Your baby wants to join in and talk to her/his mummy. Such cute sounds in the background.

[@aamyushh]

PSA: do not turn on power saving mode on quest 3, its currently bugged and makes the resolution and passthrough fidelity of the device lower indefinitely

[@spidermonkeynr1]

The price for my glasses are high i got very difficult prescription. The quest 2 lenses damaged my glasses and not the headset. But the inserted lenses for me would be super pricey.

[@buikhan]

Is your pass through clean or grainy? My is grainy, is there a fix?

[@alessandrocernuzzi]

Lots of good tips! As I've worked with lifepo4 batteries before, your point on protecting the battery life is spot on 🖤 Having a female view point is often a breath of fresh air, more please! :) 🖤

[@geckles]

love the idea of pass through mode, but unfortunatly, I'm one of those that got an awful setup, and pass through looks terrible, everything is blown out and grainy. one youtube channel talks about how he was able to get his passthrough to look good, but only after seven factory resets. I did try that a couple of times, but to no avail, I can never get it to look like, it appears in others demonstrations on youtube.

[@dronesama949]

since the most recent update the battery packs are having issues- the quest 3 will randomly say water or debris is in the usb-c port and kick you from software. my quest stays in a case and has never been near liquids. The issue seems heavily reported online, but meta has not fixed it yet.

[@aytw661]

Any advice on getting a gunstock?

@@DiscoVRTetiana thank you ☺️

[@bshorty2510]

So, something that struggles to last 2 hour (untethered) should be good for 1 hour ten minutes?

[@DualitySinGaming]

my quest 3 doesnt have the developer tab to improve hand tracking?

[@VR_Wizard]

Yes you can do the Resolution changes in Sidequest but quest game optemizer (QGO) is much much better. I think you should have mentioned it even though you are affiliated with side quest simpley because QGO is the best way to do it.

[@DiscoVRTetiana]

Because QGO is a paid app which also requires you to grant it all sorts of permissions under the sun, I was a bit wary of endorsing it

[@VR_Wizard]

@@DiscoVRTetiana Fair points I also don't know what the app does with my data. However I also dont know what sidequest is doing with my data 😅 I dont think setting the resolution via sidequest is a good option since you have to do it every time reseting your headset (at least that was the case when I did it before switching to the optemizer app) and you can't store your values for the next time you need it. These are the 2 adventages of game optemizer and thats what you need to make it usable. I thing sidequest should implement these two features as well. I mean storing the values for each game constantly and allowing for wireless adb connection remembering the headset after reset, then I would recommend sidequest as well otherwise game optimizer is the way to go.

[@k0lpA]

The battery thing is a bummer.. my quest is always plugged in because I mostly play pcvr..

[@BlackMarketHoney]

So, if I shouldn't charge the battery above 85% and shouldn't drain it below 25%, I will 40% of stand alone playtime! That's roughly 1 hour 45 mins standard use, 1 hour 15mins usong passthrough. Even less if you want to record. I guess an battery headstrap is essential.

[@AtomicGarage]

So only use 60% of the battery??? Does it have faulty batteries or a flawed design?

[@technikchegger7228]

You never stop learning.

[@Bstky73]

Iam waiting for oculus Pro 2 to compete with Apple Pro

[@spidermonkeynr1]

It's not always a competition something this just can co excist

[@State.of.Emergency]

Ill be honest the battery thing is weird. So keep it between 25%-75% thats only 50% usage. If saving the battery means onky using 50% of the battery its almost as if there's no point.

[@zendell37]

Honestly, most higher end circuits already do that and don't tell you. The Prius has been doing it for decades. Better electric bike batteries already do it. It's more of a personal rule when planning for your own projects. Keep in mind that the lower the charge is for a battery, the faster it can charge. The parking lot analogy works well here. It's easier to find a spot in an empty lot than in a full one.

[@AllanTF141]

⭐

[@iambmb]

If a headset is anything like a phone, then the battery isn't actually at 100%. They have a built-in safety measure to protect the battery when charging to 100%. Even Meta's own charging stations are designed to keep the headset fully charged when not in use. But even if fully charging the battery without the protection, at most it'll cap out at 80%...in a few years. So why charge to only 80% when 100% would give you 80% anyway? Also, charging to 80% then connecting an external battery makes the headset hotter than charging to 100% then trickle charging from the external battery.

[@PD-ze2pm]

Hand tracking is tap both controllers together and then it Moves over it literally clearly states that but hey beginning of the video other tips cool 😎

[@arnoldbliss6238]

THANKS! [:]~))

[@larsl5830]

I use glasses with my quest 2 and it works fine , tryed it without glasses and reading becomes impossible and what makes me angry at meta is that apple vision has zoom feature buildt in! Why the heck cant meta get their heads out of their "blackhole" and do the same for its quest users! Thats accessibility disscrimmination meta!

[@LezMarwick]

I've owned a Rift CV1, HTC Vive, Rift S, and a Valve Index and I never had any eye strain... I could play for hours, but the Quest 3 is something else! I'm getting used to it a bit over time... when I first got it, it was bad, but even after a few months I still have days when after 30 minutes I can feel the strain and the onset of a headache and I have to take it off and rest my eyes.

[@poopickel]

Also, the maximum amount of wattage the headset can take is technically 27

[@PeachyNanaUK]

I really liked Banter but a friend was there and someone else inappropriately touched her. Ok I know that some people will say it’s not real and if it was me I’d ignore them. But she has ptsd from something that happened to her in “real life”. When she reported it, they just brushed it all off. Told her to ignore the person. Banter needs to have a facility to remove them from your existence so you can neither see them or they you. Alt space VR had this and you could have a bubble around you so people couldn’t get close.
