So if you’re ready to share recorded videos of your Oculus Quest 2 adventures, then you’ve come to the right place. Downloading your videos to your phone shouldn’t take more than 2 minutes. Let’s jump right into it!
How to Download Videos From Oculus Quest to Phone
To download videos from your Oculus quest to your Phone, enter the files menu on your Oculus Quest home page & make sure auto-sync is turned on, or you can sync the videos manually by clicking the three-dot icon on the video and selecting “Sync”, next go to your Oculus App and select the gallery tab, tap on the video you would like to download and select share & you’ll be able to download and share the video.
And that’s it! It’s as simple as that. It’s important to note that recorded videos with longer time frames will take longer to download. You may even notice a Wi-Fi icon when trying to download a larger video file; this typically occurs when the file is too large and may need a while to fully download, or alternatively, you can cut needed sections of the video on your Oculus App to reduce the file size.
How to Record Video on The Oculus Quest 2

Another common question revolves around activating the built-in Oculus microphone when recording. It’s actually quite simple. Once you select the “Sharing” icon and click on “Record Video”, toggle on the “Include Mic Audio”, you should now be able to now record with the Built-in mic.
How to Download Oculus Recordings in Wide Screen
The first thing you may notice when you record your video on Oculus is that the footage is shot and presented vertically. To download your footage with a wider screen, you’ll need to go through a few hurdles.
First, you’ll need to sign up for an Oculus Developer account; this allows you to customize a few settings via Sidequest. After signing up as a Developer, you’ll now need to install SideQuest on your Account.
Once completed, you’ll be able to adjust a few settings on your Oculus Quest. Scroll down to Video recordings and select 1080p resolution, and that’s it! Your videos should now have a wider screen.
Oculus Videos aren’t syncing to Phone
If you notice your videos aren’t syncing to your phone the first thing you’ll want to ensure is that auto-sync is turned on. To do this, go to your Oculus home page, go to the files tab on the top right corner you’ll notice a cloud icon; if it’s disabled, click it to turn on “Auto-Sync”, if this isn’t working check to make sure your phone is connected to your Oculus quest. You’ll need to ensure that both devices are connected to the same network and that Bluetooth is turned on on your device.
Additionally, you’ll be able to sync each video individually by going to the “Files” app and selecting the three dots next to the video you would like to sync, next select sync. And you’ll be good to go!
