PTC v72 Release Thread

Hey Everyone,

The Public Test Channel (PTC) for Quest v72 is starting to roll out soon for Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest Pro, Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 3S.

If you're seeing an issue or bug after updating to PTC v72:

1) For issues: Go to our Get Help board and search for any existing thread on the issue, if you don't find one, make a new thread. Please add the tag "PTC v72" to the thread and in the title. This way everyone can look for just PTC v72 issues too.

2) For bugs: If you come across a bug, please post each one you spot in its own thread, to keep track of individual issues separately.

Share your impressions in the comments below and let us know if you see any issues.

Please make sure to also send in bug reports along with posting on the forums if you notice anything going wrong.

We know it's tough when you run into a problem on a PTC build and want to thank you all again for testing out PTC and sharing your feedback! This feedback is extremely helpful to our engineering teams. We appreciate your interest and persistence in testing out the core functionality of software as we develop!

What version number is v72 public? I Want to know if its safe to leave PTC without factory resetting. According to this article on the Meta website, if my PTC version number is the same as the public, it wont reset

Thanks for nothing, Meta.

When I got the QR Code on the PC, I tried the same thing... looking at the code through the Quest home environment did nothing. On the Quest, I confirmed that I had keyboard tracking enabled, and then opened Remote Desktop, which forced an update to the Remote Desktop software. After the update, Virtual Desktop instructed me to look at the QR code on the PC screen. Hope this helps you.

How long is this outage going to be?  You removed the ability to view spatial videos.

I don't know if it's showing up on people with V72 or me just sideloading continuously. New piece of the UI. Automatically adjust microphone and game audio balance toggle added, it's set as default to be on, turning off shows the audio controller.
