25 Quest 2 Tips & Tricks You Need To Know In 2024

out of every amazing tip we'll cover in this video there are only 25 that are truly useful to a quest owner like tip number one for example and that's increasing the battery life of your headset The Quest 2 runs out of juice quite fast especially when you're playing its biggest games and that's why I would consider extending it with a battery strap I can personally recommend the M2 by Bobo VR this strap allows you to magnetically snap an additional battery to the back and as a bonus significantly improves the comfort and has a flip up function too how handy that said tip number two is all about spiders o yes this might sound ridiculous but there have been folks out there who found spiders in their headsets with the most famous example being that of YouTuber Markiplier as long as you don't live in Australia I I don't think you have to worry you're going to find one inside your headset that will eat out your eyeballs but I would still check every nuke and cranny before putting it on tip number three let you share your games with friends and family so let's say you have friends and family coming over and want to show them what you see inside the headset then you can choose to stream your gameplay to a mobile phone or computer this feature is called casting and depending on where you want to share it to can be activated inside the quests menu or through the mobile app also it is possible to stream it to your television but to be able to do that you need to have an internet browser installed and navigate to oculus.com Casting to make the magic happen moving on to tip number four creating a safe play Space so are you mostly diving into high intensity experiences then well chances are you've already hit something out of excitement and next to wearing wrist straps it's also smart to have a reminder of where you are in your play Space staying centered in is key to keeping your TV furniture and family members alive I can recommend looking into a floor mat like
