Screenshots

High-quality screenshots are essential for your store listing. Capturing them in VR requires specific techniques.

Meta Quest Developer Hub

Use Meta Quest Developer Hub for consistent screenshots:

  1. Connect device: Connect Quest via USB and find your device under "Device Manager"

Connect your device via USB

  1. Cast Device: Enable casting to see live viewport

Live viewport preview window

  1. Capture: Use screenshot tools in the cast view

2D App View

For best results, use the 2D app view:

Select 2D app view

  • Isolated interface: Captures only your app UI
  • Clean background: Can be embedded in promotional backgrounds later
  • Consistent framing: Easier to align and compose

Best Practices

Composition

  • Fill viewport: Ensure app fills most of the captured image
  • Clean background: Enable Immersive Home to remove clutter
  • Well-lit: Keep environment well-lit for better quality

Alignment

  • Consistent positioning: Keep app in the same position across screenshots
  • Proper framing: Avoid cutting off important UI elements
  • Preview first: Check composition before final capture

Styling

  • Promotional backgrounds: Add backgrounds in post-production
  • Consistent style: Match style across all screenshots
  • Clear text: Ensure UI text is readable
