#OculusQuest2 #Quest2 #VirtualReality
I have a HUGE tip i learned yesterday. Try not jumping while playing if your ceiling fan is on, unless you want a sharp red painting on one of your controllers.
Yeah that checks out
I was showing my friend rec room and he was in the rec center. He jumped in real life to shoot a basketball and hit his hand on a light in my basement.
I was playing beat saber ( I think) and my ceiling fan was on, and I hit my fan and broke a light
Did something similar yesterday too! Tennis serve + lightbulb = no more lightbulb
One of my friends did that in recroom and his controler flow across the and was so funny
I got my Quest 2 today!!! Its so good!!!
Nice!
I know
Awesome
@X Stepbro X why would u get banned, but then u make a new email, and then a new account, then u loggin on quest
Welcome to the crew buddy!
Pro tip: If you can't afford the battery pack from oculus but have a power bank, just put the power bank in your pocket and plug it into the headset.
true but you need an special usb port
@@FlakeGT huh? Since when is usb-c a special usb port? You can buy usb C cables that terminate in a right angle connector if that's what you mean
@@FlakeGT no, my power bank has a usb-c port
@@ineedgoodname what power bank do you use? Mine only has usb and the android charger(forgot what it’s called)
@@vanshpatel2385 juice 10,000 MAH power bank
Heads up. I put my quest 2 down the other day to use the bathroom. When I came back it was turned off and would not turn back on, it would also not charge. If this happens all you do is hold the power button down and after 20 seconds or so it comes back on.
It was like a power save. U just have to tap the power button
A personal tip I'd like to share in case anyone new to VR comes across this while getting started on their Quest 2:
When drawing your guardian boundary, if you are using air link/Virtual Desktop/standalone quest mode where you have no physical tether to kinda orient around in the real world, you can mark a 'front/back' a 'left/right' or do both by putting a simple shape (wedge/bump) on one side and 2 of that simple shape on the opposing side of the boundary, this particularly applies when you have a mostly square boundary area, you may also want to turn on the 'guardian at a glance' or whatever it's called in the guardian settings where looking down shows you the outline of your guardian. This trick has saved my hands while playing GORN and Creed Rise to Glory MANY times since I am somewhat space restricted and if I swing outside my boundary I run the risk of punching lots of things (this has happened before I implemented this trick and turned on the boundary at a glance).
TL/DR
nah
Just stand on a mat!
Just become a developer and turn guardian off and that way u can go anywhere and have no boundaries bothering u at all
@@s3etchy do i have to go to school to be a developer?
"Keep yourself hydrated....." Who would have thought it, eh?
Damn
Especially when playing beatsaber for 3 hours straight
I picked mine up today, 6 hours later, I can say this tip is very important haha
Not a lot of people surprisingly
Don’t forget to take a bathroom break. Doesn’t work so well in VR
never tried vr but thinking of getting this after Christmas or so do you guys thing worth it?
Edit: everyone seems to love it and I am now going to be buying it lol
yes
Oh trust me, it’s mind blowing. Definitely suggest
Its honestly incredible. The Facebook thing is the only huge issue I see
I'm getting one
@@calvindonnahoo2035 tbh i dont really care as much as its creepy, all there gonna do is just recommend me weight loss products

can we just appreciate the smoothness of that cut? like *damn*
that was smooth
Smoother than my ex girls ass
The way he uses the wire to become the strap was amazing
wait, there was a cut?!?!?!
@@TheBlackRose666 wut
One of the best tips I got was to use my desk chair that turns 360 degrees and don't worry about over shooting my measured space. Plus sitting is very comfortable. I'm very new to this technology and never had so much fun without leaving home. Great for family get-together without leaving home.
I feel like I am 3 years old being taught how to drink water.
Gamer life😎😎😎
@@itsjedu8403 lol
I totally agree crazy ive never heard such shit!!!
Agreed
You are well trained in VR like myself, but my sister just got one of these and this is valuable info that I would go insane trying to show her.
The thing that surprised me is that a sequel to Ready Player One was released without me hearing about it (saw it on your desk haha)
Should I read the first book or is the movie enough
Wait what? It’s out. *insert big smokes screaming here*
@@Etho-ed7uk the movie is a completely different than the book practically nothing is the same except for the very basic elements of the plot. Definitely read the book as it is 1000% better and more interesting imo
@@huntersymbal7238 I agree, the book is way more interesting
@@Etho-ed7uk The movie is embarrassing to watch if you know anything about gaming or VR tech. Only thing it's worth watching for is a drinking game for every time they change the rules about how VR is supposed to work, or every time there's an on-the-nose videogame reference.
“Hand tracking is out for the quest 2”
I’ve seen enough, I’m satsified
I just ordered mine and i was so amazed by it!!
@@testytess do we need any additional sensors for it? Or is just the headset enough? (Cant imagine how that gets detected though)
@@pflxck just the headset
Sometimes the hand tracking doesn’t work :/ bought mine a couple days ago and It still has trouble focusing on where exactly my fingers are pointing
@@hectorrodriguez2228 it has only 4 sensors don’t think it can track every finger
Nobody:
Not even a single soul:
Mike: explains what a water bottle is
nice
wELLLcemm
lol
cringe
Dude plays VR do much he explains what a water bottle is like he just discovered what it is and is amazed
It's called false enthusiasm and it's awful but it sells. Watching these videos is like watching a 90s kids cartoon, but that's his product and it had the info.
TIP: You can adjust the timeout on your headset so it doesn't stop casting when you take it off instead of using the sensor cover tip. But the options are silly, something like 2 mins 4 mins 6 mins and then jumps to 4 hours.
@@strastven5475 I guess that makes me old :P
@@strastven5475 🤣
So, "oasis?" you finally got your "rocks off"? Please leave the VR community alone. You get PAID, they do not. Find a new hobby.

@@AznPrzsn nicee can't wait to pick mine with elite strap
Weren't there lots of reports of the dye from the fabric leeching onto the wearer's face? Perhaps the problem has been rectified..
*The removable 3.5mm headphone jack is a very good tip mate..one that a lot of my friends overlooked but not now.*
Side Note:
*Remember that your audio is a very important key when your looking to get Fully Immersed in a VR game*
How is the audio on the Oculus2? Is it bad without a headset?
There’s a headphone jack?
@@googlegoogle9712 yeah it's horrendous
@@googlegoogle9712 the whole thing feels super immersive to me when i throw on the set and i can hear the sound at the same time i see the video snd it all clicks in as youre putting it in, the little speakers are in the strap so its almost weird when you hear it for the first time
@@gorbonfree8245 could be louder forsure
The mat idea is fantastic. Just tried it out in Beat Saber. I hate when my Guardian screen repeatedly comes up as it ruins the immersive feel. In Beat Saber I obviously move a lot. With the mat underfoot not once did I engage with the Guardian grid. Fantastic. Thank you for this tip. You are my most favourite VR guide.
I know how to get rid of the guardian thing
@@jamisonjones9466 please say how. There are times I’d rather it not be there at all.
@@shirleychesterman3462 you got Snapchat?
@@jamisonjones9466 Bro had him added on snap to teach him to do a simple feature 🤦
I highly recommend the passthrough environement, for me it helps a lot with motion sickeness when you switch between games. It's really game changing and so well implemented i cant turn it off it will stay like this forever.
How much do the games cost??
Around 10-40 dollars. The more common price is around 15-30

YES SOMEONE REALIZED IT
Wait there is a sequel
Just got mine for Christmas I've been binge watching so many videos for the quest 2 lol
Idk what it is about your videos but you make me feel at home.
Never thought about staying hydrated but you’re absolutely right! Just bought Orbus VR Reborn from the Black Friday sales, and I’m absolutely parched! Good call!
How is the game? I have been considering it a lot recently.
How much longer does the sale go for
Seated hand tracking doesn't work AT ALL. You can't get "low enough" to choose something "lower" on the screen.
Exactly. pisses me off, trying to force my hand through my leg... in fact some seated type games are the same, telling you to reach down for something, but duh there's a chair in the way!!
We're still in the teething stages though. once everyone has gotten over the beat sabre obsession we might get these fundamental issues looked at..
Trick is to adjust your height in-game to match. Am playing Pokerstars and I have to set my height as -6 to compensate, but at least then I can pick up things that fall onto my chair
@@chrisaawalker boom just picked mine up I didn’t even think of poker haha
You have to tap the controller on the floor no joke
Just ordered my first VR (quest 2) thanks to all of your awesome videos - your tips tricks and deep dives, really helped me decide if it was something for me! Great content, awesome presenter and full to the brim with helpful information!
Good luck with your vr!
Something I would find VERY useful for my Oculus Quest 2 that I have since a month ago : To have a visual notification of the headset battery level while I'm in a game, without having to press the Oculus button. Is it possible? I'm stressed that the headset would shut down between saving points!
Anyway thanks a lot Mike for all your useful tips, it's always a pleasure to watch your videos.
I was wondering how I’d overcome the hydration issue. Thank you for the tip! Water!!!!
Im surprised you dont use the valve index daily, unless you do and i just didnt know
The index is legendary
@@floppademon1506 I tried quest 2 (yesterday) and the index (3 months ago). I think the Quest 2 is better. The index is hard to get a good fit on, especially when you never used a headset like that before. I used the Quest 2 and almost immediately got a great fit and started to play.
@@BeatACVR thanks!
@@BeatACVR Nice, I'm hopefully getting the Oculus Quest 2 for Christmas, wish me luck!

You gotta 3D print an elite strap, there amazing and you can print them for little to nothing

You are the only youtuber I can trust while watching stuff on my quest two
I watched this video like 3 times in a row, but somehow I learn new info each time
Thanks for the Eye Measure tip.
I'm happy to say I saved up for an oculus 2 and it's coming on Monday!
Just ordered mine today with a Link cable, they come in sometime next week! Can't wait to dip into Boneworks and HL: Alyx for the first time!
the link cable is kinda overpriced
@@jaredmeyer3556 just get a 3rd party cable
@@jaredmeyer3556 $50 would be the ideal price point, I think. I got it, and while it is high quality and fiber optics, it's a little pricey.
Return the Link cable and use virtual desktop or a cheaper third party cable. Then spend the money on games
@@Vintiqueture I paid $37 for a 16.4ft active usb c to usb c cable, 5gbps and saved 50%.
I did experience the elite strap breaking. I was removing the strap while loose on my head and It really does break out of no where. I was so shocked when it snapped because of how little effort it took to snap it.
How do you get the R and L to show up in passthrough after you put the Quest 2 on? Sometimes there, sometimes not.
Same here
I think you gotta click some of the buttons like the trigger button or something so they will come up. That happens with my quest too
i think it usually only pops up when first starting up your headset in passthrough, or something like that
Tip that may help- can always tell which is which by where the thumb stick is. If in the right hand and your thumb is resting well and not reaching over, it’s correct. & vice versa!
Just work it out through feel, or clip em on before u put your headset on
The tip about having a water bottle was mind blowing. I usually drink from my hands.
Same
Mike I just wanted to say that your amazing. I’m really excited to get my oculus 2. You made me think vr is awesome. Thank you ❤️
I’m getting the quest 2 for Christmas. So exited😆
I'm still just holding out for that epic blue face interface from VR Cover. The red one is cool but the blue is just hella epic!
7:37 the measurements are super helpful thankyou
I don't have the Passthrough environment available but the double-tap works. A tip I have is to connect the IR blaster to a smart power plug so you can turn it on by voice. The blaster I have doesn't have a power switch or remote control.
Never knew that hand tracking was available thx
I be hitting my bong when on my oculus it's better when you high
Cool
I had to turn on the double side tapping passthrough in settings, the best thing ever
i love the fact that you can double tap and itll show u the real world so much bc as a person who struggles with anxiety the only reason i didn't want to get this is because i have problems with not being able to see around me and thought i'd have to take it off every two seconds, but i don't!
Got my quest 2 a couple days ago its amazing
1:13 I am realizing how silly I look when plying beat saber 😂😭
Personal tip: for those without a way for getting the longer battery pack or a long cable, put a lightweight extension cord into your wall and plug in your headset. This will allow you to play with your headset on charge standing up.
Nic thnaks
I just got the 5m link cable and do the same

I'll just wait till they officially release VR beer goggles
I got another tip for ya, I got some cheap white Velcro from Poundland with adhesive on the back, 4 pieces cut to size, rapped the softer Velcro bits around the Quest 2 strap in 2 places 1 near the speaker and the other further back, wrapped the ruff Velcro around the Link cable sticking the adhesive together lining up with the soft Velcro on the Quest strap. Now I'm able to quickly detach my link cable and reattach each time with the cable nicely attached to the side of the strap, looks good too.
I haven't tried Bluetooth headphones but I use my Sony XB33 Bluetooth speaker and it works very well and has no noticable latency. Thinking about trying to link my 7.2 surround sound system in my living room
i have a tip also for keeping a sense of real world direction.. by painting one edge of the guadian with a point facing torwas your starting face foward postion or north. so when you are not sure which edge of the gardian you are near you can quickly orient yourself by knowing where that pointed side is without taking the goggles off. I am hoping that future generations of oculus will include a ceieling guardian as well..
Everyone when VRO says the word "IPD"
*He's gonna show the clip, he's gonna show the clip*

*AYYYYYYY*
Haha those eyes! []-)
so true! hahahaha

I personally really enjoy the hand tracking feature. I am surprised at how well it works after some getting used to it!
Hey guys welcome back to the oasis I hear that in m dreams
A big tip or trick for some people that don't have a chrome cast or pc, if you have laptop or chrome book ect.. Cast it to the oculus website and connect your device to a hdmi cable and connect the other end to a TV. switch to that source and bam, bigger screen!
For the headphones, i just tuck the cord into the back of my shirt
Same
This is the type of knowledge that needs to be spread for it absolute genius
I would do the same, if I didn't have extra controls inline. I tuck it in front : {
I use in-ear headphones and I put excessive wire inside the loop on the top strap.
Works great with thin wires.
I synced my airpods, it works well
Thanks for the “between setting 1 and 2 because my ipd is around 60 mm”
My ipd is the same!
WELCOME TO THE OASIS!
And drink water

@@oh_knee7173 Sad
I'm grateful for all the great tips. Just got my Oculus Quest 2 for my 66th birthday today - yes, no typo, 66. I'm so looking forward to doing some VR travel and OMG, I love my awesome modern concrete VR home. I almost fell over trying to sit on the floor cushions. JK. They did look super inviting though.
Great to know you like it I knew that it wasn't for "young people" have fun with it 😁
I’m 61 and just got my first one, too. Now, no more begging my husband to play ping pong with me. So far, I’ve only tried Eleven Table Tennis and Beat Saber. Love both.
After few comments, I’m still curious if there is a “legal” way to broadcast pass though camera or record a video somehow.
Btw... For casting from within, you can also cast to a ChromeCast device on your TV instead of a browser on a computer since most of us have a bigger tv than computer monitor. It’s a great way to share. Note: There is a slight lag for casting so if you are using the built in speakers in the strap then you need to have the TV volume low or you’ll hear an “echo”. Over ear headphones (like shown in this video) resolve that issue. Enjoy! 😉

Axm ooooohhh! That’s really cool! You excited?
I will get my quest on december 7 i am so exited
@@curlyemmm1232 yes
I cannot specifically vouch for any random brand's quality, but if you are looking for a short cable that also caters to headphones with a mic, you will need a TRRS (tip, ring, ring, sleeve)-style cable. Easily identified by the 3 black isolator rings on the plug (vs 2 black rings on speaker-only headphones). A quick search for TRRS 1ft online should give you a couple options.
I just got a Quest 2 a few hours ago! I had a Quest 1 but I ended up trading it for a Switch when I heard the 2 was coming out :D

Picnic rugs are a great cheap way to show those around you where the guardian is.
The rug tip is the best I got for VR. Especially useful if you don't have much space.

I feel like the Oculus Quest 2 is a good Headset for first time VR users. As I believe currently it's the only standalone headset that exists whereas HTC Vive Pro and Valve Index need PC's to run them which is a bit higgilty piggilty to understand and to meet certain requirements. However the Oculus Quest 2 is a simple button press and a step-by-step process before you start getting gaming and etc. I'm an Oculus Quest 2 owner, it was my first VR and now I'm looking to invest in a Valve Index.
Thank you thank you thank you. Just got my quest today and all these tips are great.

“To stay hydrated you can use a water bottle”🤯
The tip about a mat in your VR playspace was really good. There is a setting in the quest that allows you to look down and see your guardian boundary. That was good for me while playing pistol whip.

Hi Mike, I'm loving the Quest 2 as my introduction into VR. I was wondering if you have perceived a big spike in new users of VR, from seeing a spike in your video views?
I use one of those daycare foam puzzle peices to see where i am when im playing. Highly reccomend for beginners
I love how they look like they are a product from aperture science from the portal series, smooth white covering black a nice back interior
I’ve said this on a different video on some other channel but... Mike oculus quest 2 users are experiencing trouble with guardian whenever you set up guardian it will restart and you will have to do the process all over again my quest 2 can’t set up guardian so I would appreciate if you address this via UA-cam video.
