Screen recording

ADB

• Start recording

adb shell setprop debug.oculus.enableVideoCapture 1

• Stop recording

adb shell setprop debug.oculus.enableVideoCapture 0

• Pull recorded videos

adb pull /sdcard/oculus/VideoShots/ ./

Note: You can also record videos on the Oculus Go by exiting to the system library, and from the Oculus tray menu (toggle with the Oculus button on the controller): Sharing > Record Video

Screen recording (All platforms)

• Screen recording (two-eyes)

adb shell screenrecord /sdcard/demo.mp4

• Parameters

Parameter	Value	Description
--size	WIDTHxHEIGHT	Sets the video size. The default value is the device's native display resolution (if supported), 1280x720 if not. For best results, use a size supported by your device's Advanced Video Coding (AVC) encoder.
--bit-rate	RATE	Sets the video bit rate for the video, in megabits per second. The default value is 4Mbps. You can increase the bit rate to improve video quality, but doing so results in larger movie files. The following example sets the recording bit rate to 5Mbps: adb shell screenrecord --bit-rate 5000000 /sdcard/demo.mp4
--time-limit	TIME	Sets the maximum recording time, in seconds. The default and maximum value is 180 (3 minutes).
--rotate		Rotates the output 90 degrees. This feature is experimental.
--verbose		Displays log information on the command-line screen. If you do not set this option, the utility does not display any information while running.
