Quest 2 lags when recording

I have a problem with my Quest 2 when I am trying to record a video. When the video capture is turned on, the view lags and stutters as I move my head around. The lag is very noticeable and makes whatever app I am in unplayable. The problem stops once I stop recording. What is strange is the lag and stutter does not show up when I playback the recording. This problem occurs whether the headset is standalone or cabled to my PC. I am at a loss on how to resolve this issue.

    Also this problem didn't start happening until the OS was updated to the newer version (I believe it was v.8)

    Have you tried if the update tool can fix your problem? Maybe something went wrong with your update.

    Report it as a bug through the bug reporting tool on your headset. Include a sample of the video.

      The lag isn't noticeable on the video.😉

        Choleni. Are you sure?  I know that the quality of the resolution is better on the video than what you see on the screen, but it's still recording everything on it. I think stuttering and audio lag if it appears on the screen it will be recorded on the screen. In fact, I'm 100% sure of it. 😁
