** Correction to the factory resetting tip (thank you Jadian Radiator):**
You CAN do it from within your headset!
1) Completely turn the headset off.
2) Turn it on while holding down either the volume up or the volume down button and release them once it brings up the boot menu.
3) Use the volume buttons to navigate to the factory reset option and press the power button to select it.

DISCO-VR RECENTLY HIT 25K SUBSCRIBERS!!!🥳🥳 I'm giving away two 100$ USD Oculus Store credit codes again! Enter here: gleam.io/o9Llz/100-usd-oculus-store-credit-x2-giveaway-discovr-25k-celebration-part-2 Two winners of the previous $100 store credit giveaway are Selig Chan and Pete Kendall! 🤩 Congratulations!

[@kcried1081]

Hi, I’m interested in getting a VR headset for my family bc I see this as the future technology of our time. And I have little girl in our household who I feel will be great to get a head start on learning how to use this technology early. I love your channel and I have subscribed, I hope u can do a give away for a headset too if possible. My family is a little bit on the humble side. But the little girl in household is the only one and we want to dump all our resources into her to hopefully make a breakthrough for her when she is older. I’m interested in VR teaching for kids and learning. Plz message me back. I’d love to hear your thoughts

[@JadianRadiator]

3:24 Actually you _can_ factory reset your Quest from the headset. 1) Completely turn the headset off. 2) Turn it on while holding down either the volume up or the volume down button and release them once it brings up the boot menu. 3) Use the volume buttons to navigate to the factory reset option and press the power button to select it.

I recently purchased a quest and quickly discovered your channel. So far I'm shocked at your lack of subscribers. You do an excellent job with these videos. Thank you and keep up the magnificent work!

[@Rynagade23]

You said the couch and desk option is silly, but I find it extremely useful. My play space is in front of my desk and in between my tv and bed. I set up my desk and put my couch onto the edge of the bed so when I am playing a game that I could easily get turned around in I can lean toward the guardian and see which way I am facing so I know I'm not going to punch the monitor or tv.

[@DiscoVRTetiana]

Wow that’s great! I’m glad people find a proper use for these features!

[@paulcoates1496]

Very helpful Video, thank you! Got my Quest 2 for Christmas and there are a lot of features I didn't know about. 👍

Bigscreen is my favorite thing about Quest2!!! It is amazing at how much it feels like being in a real theatre. I also stream 3D files from my phone via DLNA android app.🤯

[@VRDynamite]

Unless you've been keeping up with monthly change logs it can be easy to miss some of the deeper settings... Good stuff to know for brand new Quest users!

[@DiscoVRTetiana]

This video has been in the making for a long time! Eventually even more things will get added to Quest 2 but until then, glad you find it helpful!

[@jimmyandersson419]

one problem when using VR headsets, is that you look at the whole picture. I as our user have learned since before to look as I do in reality, that is, the gaze towards a point and towards the horizon. this is how you should also look when using our headset, to avoid dizziness. It is also good that you play a little easier games only when you get used to this way of looking natural in our headset and later a little tougher games. with kind regards, Jimmy

[@chris_stacey]

Being able to add your couch into the environment is an excellent feature! (or maybe I'm just a bit lazy) 😁

You can actually factory reset by turning off the headset, hold down - volume and power button at same time. This will launch the boot menu

Why didn't I know about your channel, this is great! I am super excited to find out you can enhance resolution. textures and recording dimensions in Sidequest! But that you will have to do it every single time is a bummer.. I hope Oculus will make this a prominent feature in the headset itself. Thanks so much for figuring this out though!

Glad you’ve found my video as well! Thanks for watching 🤗

[@naiyaru]

@@DiscoVRTetiana Me too!

[@j.abella6892]

Thanks for the recap of those features. Is there a way to clean up the menu’s when you uninstall an app? I can’t seem to figure that out.

[@DiscoVRTetiana]

Unfortunately there isn’t 😢 it’s very annoying but all the apps stay there, even uninstalled ones. Although if you click in the top right corner of the App Library you can choose to see only installed apps. Hope this helps!

[@FayazKhan-kx8ep]

Nice great U r awesome

[@wolfgangpuff7030]

5:09 what if you set up a headset with a primary account and a secondary account, but on another headset you set up the secondary account from the other headset to the primary and make the primary from the first headset the secondary. Will this enable sharing both ways?

[@heehee63]

forgot to mention, the ability to send friends an invite link to select games on your oculus app is a real nice new feature as well. you send the invite link and all your friends have to do is turn on their headset and put it on and they'll end up in the exact same room that you are in within the game. that's what I was told anyway. haven't tried it yet.

[@jokalee]

*_You actually can factory reset from the headset by powering on the Quest while holding down both the power and volume down buttons and choosing factory reset from the menu inside the headset._*

Hi Tatyana! Thanks for this helpful video again. I have a question...How can I hide/remove uninstalled games/apps from Quest 2? This is really annoying.

[@DiscoVRTetiana]

Hey! I agree it’s very annoying, but unfortunately there’s no way to remove them 🙄 I think we’re all looking forward to this feature in the coming updates…

[@maverickgamer9440]

I love you

[@LaszloIvanyi]

I think you can Factory reset the headset from the headset itself, but that's kind of an advanced feature, since once you enter the system menu (I think on oculus startup you need to press the power button and the volume minus) you cannot use your controllers. The better way is from the paired app since you anyway have to pair the app why bother with the system menu, but still, just a small correction. I had to recently have to do a factory reset since my right joycon was drifting and I had to send back my whole headset for repair. Regarding the streaming, I just noticed today as I was setting up my replacement headset, that there's X-box streaming as well, you can stream your x-box to a big screen inside a VR room.

[@DiscoVRTetiana]

hey these are awesome additions, thank you! Also, I added the correction about factory reset in the description :) with so many tips to organize I guess I missed a few little things. Thanks again!

I actually factory reset my headset tho without the phone I had a game stuck on installing and I tried deleting the data on sidequest which didn't worked So I just pushed volume down and power while off which opened the boot menu or something like that which had the option to factory reset Good as new now!

[@TheRynowarrior]

The best thing I learned here was phone notifications

[@RobbJones]

There's more free games available via the browser. If you open it up to the default tab page some of the pages it recommends visiting are actually web games that can be loaded up into VR immersion mode like Flappy Bird VR.

You know basti found a hidden feature where you cab draw and area for pass through so you can like for instance see a keyboard, what ever happened to that? I guess it never officially released?

[@manuelharper1155]

What question so when you do a factory reset does it reset everything you have to be put in all the passwords and then you download your names again that's the question cuz my headsets been glitchy lately

[@DiscoVRTetiana]

Yeah, it’ll reset everything and brings it to the condition it was right out of the box. It does fix most of common glitches though

[@conandude76]

You can also hold the volume down and power buttons until the blue logo appears to enter debug mode and factory reset from there.

[@mastrkool]

Pro tip: you CAN actually factory reset from the headset itself, just turn off the headset, then hold the power and volume down button on the same time, this should open a secret menu which you can control with the volume buttons that allows you to factory reset

[@6lack5ushi]

you can factory reset on headset power and volume down

[@ps398632]

factory reset cn also be performed using the power and volume down button. also in developer mode you my be able to connct to a printer and scanner using an android app. IE the T400 has an older ap not tied to google services, once loaded via the devloper mode using file manger plus, yo can back up the pritrr ap and load it on o your quest. . you then can use the app to scan documents to yor quest. hey , its a gea ay to back up family photos or important medical documents. Thr devloper mode can pack a punch. and if you are in t this knd of thing , abd you have a keyboard and mouse, you can use WPS (OLDER VERSION) to do word processing and other things, yo canbalo load a caculator app aswell. there is a lot this unit can do.

[@shinaikouka]

As a side note, the one bummer about Oculus adding that specific Logitech keyboard as one of the (now) two keyboards that are supported is that the price of them shot up to at least double their original cost. That probably isn't a huge deal for most, but the Logitech K830 is my go-to HTPC all-in-one keyboard because it's one of the few wireless keyboards that features a trackpad and backlit keys. (Surprisingly, that combination is quite rare!) Although, one downside is that the K830 has a rather weak Micro-USB port on it, which I would imagine may not be great for VR if you accidentally drop the keyboard or something. I ruined one K830's USB port by accidentally stepping on the USB cable while it was plugged in. The force of the cable pulling down caused the solder holding the connector down to break.

I had no idea these headsets were so involved. By the way, I'm legally blind. I s there an accessibility feature which makes text bigger? Thanks for sharing.

[@morganmeow6150]

So my question is, if I put my account on my friends headset and he puts his on mine, would we be able to bounce back and forth and share games?

[@DiscoVRTetiana]

The only way to share apps on a different headset is if one and the same account is the primary account on both of the headsets, and app sharing is enabled on one of the headset, and you’re logged in with the secondary account in that headset. “Back and forth” wouldn’t work because secondary accounts cannot share apps with the primary account

Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains. 9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.
