Meta Quest 3 not capturing in game audio

When I'm recording a video it captures my voice but no in game audio. I've been trying to fix this for hours now. I've tried everything from completely rebooting the vr to checking all the settings making sure there correct and also checking for any updates. I really dont understand why its not working.

    Hi Trustnoire,

     

    We understand how this can hinder your creativity when recording content. Properly capturing your gameplay is important, and we want to ensure that you can do so without any hassle. 

     

    We appreciate you have already done some troubleshooting yourself,  here are a few more things you can try to see if it helps:

     

    • Make sure your headset is completely up to date
    • Ensure the volume is not muted or turned down too low.
    • Test with multiple games/apps. Try recording audio in different games and apps to see if the issue is specific to one app or a general problem.
    • Check Microphone in-game. Some games have their own audio recording settings. Ensure the microphone is enabled within the game itself.
    • Reset Microphone: Settings > System > Sound > Toggle Microphone

    If this doesn't resolve it you can try hard rebooting the headset using the below steps: 

    1. Turn off your headset completely.
    2. Hold the power and volume (-) button on your headset down simultaneously until the boot screen loads on your headset.
    3. Use the volume buttons on your headset to highlight Boot Device and press the power button.
    4. Use the volume buttons on your headset to highlight Yes and press the power button.

    If the issue persists please let us know and we will be happy to help troubleshoot further.

      Well you said to let you know and I'm letting you know this does not work bro. I've tried a lot of stuff I've hardly booted my head and said changed all my audio settings and camera settings and it's still not working and I'm not factory resetting. I've heard that doesn't work. And I don't have a headset plug-in port. I'm on a side user. So like not the main VR user and I'm not on PC. I'm stand alone.

        i think being a side user may be the issue

      No matter how many times I've tried these steps, I've never once heard app audio in any of my recordings. I've been intermittently trying to fix this for ~5 months. This is clearly a known and widespread issue, so maybe ACTUALLY fix the problem by pushing an update? It's 2026 and I've seen posts going back years dealing with this. DO SOMETHING. 

  • I've been having the same issue for the past 2-3 weeks. My mic audio gets recorded, and not my game audio at all. Today when I tried to record again, I only heard the record sound indicator in the replay, but no game audio. I tried the same troubleshooting steps, along with a factory reset, but it doesn't work. I contacted Meta about this and they were only able to tell me to factory reset the headset, and no further fixes from them (such as making a headset software update.) It's getting incredibly annoying, plus the fact that I'm a part time VR content creator makes this even worse to deal with. Doesn't record with any app either, especially with virtual desktop, which I use on a daily basis.
