How do I not record/cast passthrough on Quest 3?

Gruntled
Expert Protege

I went from Quest 1 to Quest 3 and when casting/recording, instead of showing the B&W breakthrough it would just show a black 'void'.

On Quest when in your home UI and switch to passthrough camera the casting/recording will record it as well.   I don't want to show passthrough cameras unless I'm casting/recording a mixed reality game.   Is there a way to turn that off?  

Thanks.

I have almost exactly the same question / Desire.
I came from the Quest 2,  The app I am working on is in Beta, and the App Turns on the Passthrough, so you have a Mixed Reality MR view in the headset.

on Quest 2, recording the video, always made the Passthrough a Void / solid black on the recorded video, which is What I want.  Most of the time.

But now with the quest 3,  the passthrough video is also captured on the recordings.
I would like A camera setting to turn this on or off
Record Passthrough with the camera / Record the Void with the camera
The setting would Affect both the Camera picture taking, and video recordings.


Looks like they "fixed" that too...

Even with the disabled boundaries in the developer settings, if an App like Demeo supports Mixed Reality, the pass through view gets streamed now too and is no longer black.

Meta just wants us to record our homes at all cost for their "Ai" Training...

I suppose the only alternative is to record gameplay in the dark. 😉
