POV: Your oculus quest 2 is arriving in a few hours and your speedrunning every video about it.
Me: My oculus quest 2 arrived a week ago and I can't stop watching videos about it.
actually i watch this video after i had my oculus quest 2 for a month
DO DO DO DO
@@knightyknight2 mine arrived yesterday
I'm waiting for the dude to ship it
Just a tip about the stationary guardian feeling too small, you can turn off the grid for the stationary guardian in the settings. Under experimental features Just enable the "stationary boundary: passthrough"
THANK YOU!
Thanks!
King shit 👑
your channel deserves millions of more subs! information is clear, honest, and concise, no clickbait, and just overall great quality. thank you for your helpful advice and dedication to such well-made content :)
Thank you so much! It really means a lot 💜💙
underrated
I like how I look at the comments and all I see is........underrated
@@Terrorblitz it’s almost as if shes not underrated 😯
Agreed, underrated and even how the information page is set up. Now THAT'S totally underrated, with links and timestamps!! So helpful, wish everyone did that.
Common sense.
Like ja.
I cannot stress the burn-in enough. I had my headset far into the room away from harm.... I thought... but with summer approaching a low hanging sun was able to penetrate across the whole room and into the lenses. two nasty burn marks. I have a HP Reverb G2, and HP replaced the headset without question... The thing was, although it is abundantly clear in hindsight. The HP Reverb came with absolutely no warning about the hazard of lenses and sunlight. (I have triple checked my original packaging. including the plastic lens covers. there's no warnings about this)
Wow! Sorry to hear that friend! Yeah normally companies like to overexaggerate safety precautions, but in this case it is absolutely true. Have you managed to get a replacement?
@@DiscoVRTetiana yes! I have, it was very quick and I am super happy. But HP could've also declined the replacement calling it a "user error" and I would've had to go through the legal system due to them not providing warnings (which honestly normal people don't have money or time for).
You could sue Facebook/Oculus for that 😏
EXCELLENT information, thank you for sharing Tetiana!
Awesome! Definitely gonna check out the dslr bags! Thanks!!
Perfect Video! I knew all this stuff but you compiled it all nicely and I hope you become a big youtuber soon you deserve at least 100k
Thank you so much, you're very kind! And aaaaah disappointed you knew everything... But I guess these are mostly for new-ish Quest 2 users :)
This was an excellent summary of good practices when it comes to the Oculus Quest 2 :D
A few of these I'm definitely ganna keep in mind, glad I found this
Great video - thank you for sharing!
On tips #15 I have really bad motion sickness and my first game I got was boneworks 😂
Cracking video Disco-VR and your voice is nice and clear and understandable. Well done and I’ve learnt some good tips today off you. Thank you 🙏
Wow, every tip is actually really useful, thank you very much!
As always, a very well organized video. Great job and thanks 🙏😊
Very informative.. 👍
That dslr bag tip is clutch!! First channel I’ve seen mention it👏
Right on , that covered pretty much all I can think of. Individual VR solutions kind of come up organically once you get into it and start analyzing your normal playspace . These are the general starters to know for sure though.
Great tips Tetiana! Keep up the great work always!
glad you enjoyed the video!
wow thank you so much!! just purchased my quest 2 yesterday and this video was very easy to understand. straight to the point, deserve more subscribers.
Thank you and congrats on your new Quest 2!
Top battery saving tip. Always turn off the headset when you're not using it. This will do much more than micromanaging the battery charge. The real reason charging your battery to 80% extends battery life is simple. A rechargable battery has a set number of times it can be recharged. This number is the same if you fully or partially charge the battery. By not fully charging, you're slightly extending the potential lifespan of the unit but not the battery. It will still lose charge faster and not charge fully at the same point. The total hours of use will be the same, but the user is spreading it out over a longer period of time. A user replaceable battery would be ideal since the headset doesn't need to be waterproof, or being able to use an external battery as the main power source would be a great option later in the life of the device.
I'm not sure how of what you said is true since I've seen others saying the opposite of what you said. Some said you can leave it plugged in all the time due to advanced battery protection technology.
@@stevenw4549 Yea, there have been battery tests on the quest 2, they fully drained and fully charged it full over and over 100,000s of times and the battery life dropped less than half a percent. The second test was keeping it plugged in all the time. Still after 10,000 hours straight, less than a percent. The third test was overcharging by leaving it on charging overnight/all day. After 10,000 hours, less than a percent. So if your battery loses less than 1% over 10,000 hours (that's about 416 days straight) I'd think you'd be fine doing whatever you want, lol.
@@stevenw4549 basically, it's 'Advance battery protection technology' is a standard modern Cellphone BMC (Battery Management Circuit). The actual capacity and the 'shown' capacity aren't the same, there's built in headroom on both ends to account for battery wear, and to extend the usable life of the battery. So the headset itself isn't charging the battery to maximum voltage when it says 100%, and at 0% charge actually has a decent safety margin left.
Also, you'll get far more 20%-80% cycles out of a lithium cell then charging/discharging 0%-100%, provided the cell is decent. Like 3x-4x as many (40,000 vs about 10,000) to drop to 80% total capacity.
Even fully discharging for every single charge is 20,000 or so hours. Even those long term tests are only just starting to touch where the wear becomes visible to the user. Fortunately, the Q2 isn't too hard to get into either, so you *can* replace the cell when it invariably goes belly-up as they all ultimately do. You'll be wayyyyy out of warranty by then, though.
@@DFX2KX Thanks. Can you tell me where you got this information?
All batteries are user replaceable if the user has reasonably powerful brain...
Thank you !
Thank you
This is some very good advice, Thank you very much 👋
I think the guardian system needs a fundamental change. Im always clipping into warning range when im not really that close to the walls. Realistically, the guardian system knows where the hmd is, and it should have a very good idea of your maximum arm reach. So you should be able to swing your controllers right up to the guardian boundary without it drawing, as long as your headset is in such a location so as to make reaching beyond the boundary impossible.
I completely agree. Here's another tip, you actually can reduce the guardian sensitivity in the settings. I usually have it reduced to the minimum so that I have as much space without seeing the guardian as I can. Dangit, should've included it in the video 😀
I enjoyed this video a lot. Very informative. Yeah, I've been making the mistake of setting my Guardian too close to the TV and and to walls in the living room, so I accidentally with my hand hit the TV and hit the windows twice playing "Super Hot VR", and luckily they didn't get broken. As for charging my Quest, I can't afford to charge for anything less that 100% because 2 hours of battery life is just not going to cut it, and I have ordered the elite strap with battery pack, awaiting the delivery of it. I normally set the air condition to a higher cooling temperature when I play VR because of all the body movements, and depending on the intensity of the game, I might have to frequently wipe my face with a wet towel if I ever sweat.
I found this video very helpful.
Welcome back and congratulations! This is definitely the video topic I needed. I also need to revisit your quest 2 cleaning video. I’ve been getting my headset very sweaty with beat saber…
Edit: I’ll keep tip 14 in mind. I might buy a quest 2 for my sister, and that will save us some money on some good multiplayer games
Thank you very much! And yes, this video is my personal guide I've been compiling since last September, so I'm glad you find it helpful :)
Thanks for the camera bag tip : )
Thanks Tetiana! You’re awesome!
You are so welcome!💜
I have a Rift S and my Quest 2 will arrive shortly. Funny that CZcams recommended your channel and this video. I am glad that all the accessories you gave tips on, I already did :D. So I am sure I will enjoy my quest 2 experience ^_^. Nice content and good work on the tips :)
Thank you very much for supporting! 😀 and enjoy your new Quest 2 when it arrives!
Great tips! welcome back
great to be back :)
Very good advice, clear and concise. Got another sub
Glad you found it helpful! And welcome to the club 😁
I got my quest 2 about a week ago and it was my first time using vr and surprisingly I did not get motion sickness whatsoever
Not really surprising, many people don’t feel any motion sickness during play, I play Boneworks & Epic roller coasters often and I have felt no sickness whatsoever.
Great video
you are amazing thank you. im subscribing now.
😊Thank you! And welcome to the team!
Awesome video!
Tips 6 OMG that's is soo nice. No more contact lenses anymore. Thank you so much 💓💗
Will save this video to send to folks in the future, going to be a lot of new VR users that need these tips!
That's awesome ☺
Getting one soon 😃 going to be the first vr head I have
This has to be 1 of the best info videos ever you deserve this sub
After this I went straight to Amazon...thank you so much! New sub from me!
A major problem that I found with the Quest 2 is that it is completely unbalanced.
The entire weight of the headset eventually rests on the bridge of my nose.
A better strap, like the Elite strap is not the answer. What is really necessary is a counterweight at the back.
A battery carried on the back of the strap helps - and extends the use time of the headset.
thanks
I just purchased a new oculus quest 2 OCT 2021 and it now comes with a rubber covering to go over the cloth so now it is easy to clean and more comfortable. Saving the need for replacement unless you just want too.
I am saving up to get a quest 2 and a couple of games
Just subbed glad I found you! Nice vid, keep em'coming...
Thank you! And welcome aboard 😀
Thanks for an awesome video Tetiana. I use the yoga mat trick. it works wonders to navigate in VR :D
Great! Yep that's definitely a more budget friendly solution!
Stellar video! You're the best!
Wow, thanks SO MUCH!
Thanks for the video disco vr I love your videos and your channel u put that together very well keep it up
Thanks so much for your support, that means a lot! 💜😊
@@DiscoVRTetiana o yea no problem I got u all the time
Great tips, thank you! I learned about the Guardian placement the rock-hard way at first, but luckily no holes in the wall. :D :D As for the fan trick, I also recommend it in the sweaty days of Summer. :)
yep, it's a double bonus😀
Great video! Apparently they changed the material on the stock face interface, they denied me a replacement on my unit purchased in april.
Wow for me you get the VR-Oscar😀👊🏽👋🏽 very helpful.
Haha thank you! 😆😆
Love this channel, and this video is super helpful. Great series of tips. My Quest2 is currently in limbo and at the mercy of FedEx, but while I wait I’m learning a lot! It’s funny, until I saw this video it would have never occurred to me to try and use the headset outdoors. Do a lot of people really do that?
Yes they do, mostly to get more room 😕And also congrats on your new quest 2! I hope you’ll get out soon 😊
A little late, but thanks for this! Just got mine and it's awesome
It's never too late! Haha, congrats on your new Quest 2!
hmmm I always leave it connected to link cable, I hope that's not bad for the battery. Thanks for the tip about the free upgrade to foam. I've never had a problem with the stock strap, didn't know it was an issue for people.
Awesome vid! Besides the camera bags, is there a designated Quest 2 case that the Eyglo strap fits into? I originally got the Oculus case, but my new strap is way too tall for it.
omg it worked!
Excelente video.
Thanks for informative video! The halo strap gets terrible reviews. Is there another budget friendly comfort strap?
my quest 2 is coming tomorrow, and im way too hyped watching all these videos lol
Congrats on getting the new quest! 🥳
I completely agree about the battery charging the same thing with the Tesla.
Follow the same steps with charging your smart devices as cell phones and other electronics.
I average about three days to four days on one charge.
Hello love your video. Do you think you could do a step by step on how to connect your oculus quest 2 to play steam vr game like resident evil? That’s be amazing thanks
The VR Wave lenses are great if you share a headset but they stick out a little too much. The lenses Oculus sells from Frames Direct are much more comfortable.
Bought one for my daughter. After hours of extensive research I got her all the bells and whistles too. 4 days til Xmas. I think I’m more exited then she will be 😂
Hahah aaaaw this is the perfect Christmas gift! 🤩
Could you do another updated video on custom songs in beatsaber for 1.19.0??
Keeping the quest from sun light ain't no joke! I noticed artifacts on the LCD panels even within less than a minute of exposure to the sun indirectly. VR lens covers are a must & specially if going outside.
I have to say I love you accent!
Thank you 😃
#9 is a lifehack I never thought of, and #12 is a really good one. Replacing the headstrap is probably the only thing I would absolutely insist everyone does. It's literally a game changer.
I like ur videos
Oh boy...I think I recharged my Oculus Quest 2 almost every time I played...Oops hehe Thanks for these tips Tetiana! You look so happy and glowing by the way! :)
Happy to help! 😊
isn't that obvious? this is normal li-oin battery.
I have the vr wave lenses but because my prescription is quite high and the lenses are thicker. What face cover do you use? I find that the silicon one can be quite uncomfortable and fog the lenses.
I just bought the Meta Quest 2 and haven’t opened the box. I am new to VR and am totally paranoid about the space I will need, breaking glass, falling, or even if I like being covered by a 1/2 helmet and not being able to see my surroundings (which are small). After this very informative video, I am definitely returning it. It’s just not for me.
I found that my elite strap broke where the rubber that touches your head connects to the back of the headstrap, also if you dont have too much money you can try putting a pillowcase down in place of a dedicated pad
YAY
Mrs. Discooo Thank you for the battery tip! I've always charged it to 100%... Atleast I've only had it for 1 month
you're welcome! And yes, that's a good tip for all devices with LIo batteries :)
I got my replacement facial interface. I would not have known about this process if I had not watched your video. Thanks! The VR Cover replacement is a premium product with a $30 US value.
Yep! Glad it worked for you!
My girl bought with silicone "shock" protection they mighr be good for normal play, but made her miss more boxes in beatsaber a bit more often on expert plus.
So i would stay away from those it was for the controllers she bought. It now collects dust im somewhere.
For beginners it might be a good thing
Mrs. Disco is back!
🥳🥳🥳
you can also have augmented reality with the Oculus Quest 2 it is cool for videos and some games
If there are Cells in series installed in the Headset it is recomendet to charge the Headset to 100% and leave it at the Charger for a couple of hourse, 3 times a year or so, so the BMS(Battery management system) can balance the cells. The charging from 20 to 80 may bring a bit of lifetime but it is not worth because there is usually enough headroom in the management allready.
Need a vid on setting up the secondary account thing. I bought headsets for me and my son and I'm not buying the same games twice. I really didnt get how you set it up and I dont want my hesdsets bricked.
How do I get a replacement for my Elite strap because mine just recently broke
The battery part for temp
Us people in Australia: oh no
I have a question can we play outside or no because it said it can damage the lens?
Welcome back
The jellyfishes in the backround: i am in eternal pain.
Cool
What about a alcohol wipes and can you explain why not screen wipes more #2 tips why not them what can they do to them and how long or how often do you have before you have ruined or come close or should stop.
What foam face mask is best for the lens covers? Mine has issues, with the www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08ND2K42B/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 VR Cover mask. The lenses dig into my eyes and it makes it hard to find the "sweet spot". I ended up leaving the top part of the mask unseated, in order to make it perfect, but I would prefer a mask that is solid and not unseated. Someone had mentioned doing this in one of their videos and it worked for me too. The VR Cover masks almost need another 1/4-1/2" on the top half of the padding or the Quest just needs more adjustment points for the Quest 3.
Does the litium batterie can be change or no ?
Anyone know what roller coaster game that was at the end during tip 15
thank you with the tip 7 cause i have been playing Gorilla tag and i punch walls 40 times a day in the game
do you know if 5.7k looks better than 4k on the Quest 2, or is 4k as sharp as it can get?
Well that sucks I did all of these is there any way of fixing your lenses because I always Zeus lens wipes and my car is blurry and y battery life in super fast HELP
I actually did it though
Great video. The one question I have that nobody covers. All the replacement straps have big knobs on the back. One of my favorite things to do is lay down and watch videos. I have gotta think that knob would dig into the back of my head. Is there a good strap without a large knob on the back?
that's a great question, and it's probably the only thing that the stock strap is good for - laying down. I would say probably elite strap is the least uncomfortable because the know on the back is flat and not as big as protruding as in the rest of the headstraps, but it's still not ideal of course. Thanks for commenting!
@@DiscoVRTetiana Thank you for responding. I appreciate it. Definitely getting a sub from me.
Do I downgrade for custom songs or just wait for bmbf ?
I always have my Oculus on an Anker charging station when Im not using it, is that a bad thing ?
cool
I know this has been asked a million times but where did you get the jelly fish lamp?
Do you know when Bmbf is going to be up again?
