Workrooms - How to close the menu (in the middle, pops up, controls monitors, etc.)?

Been enjoying the concept of Workrooms but I can't figure out how to close the menu in the middle! It blocks the monitors and takes away from the experience.  I've been pressing all the buttons to no avail.  Please help.

Hey there, @emiliabow! Having your screens blocked by the menu can certainly take the fun out of VR, and we want to make sure that Workrooms works seamlessly for you from here! To make sure we have a full grasp of the issue at hand, are you able to let us know what menu/screen you have open currently in which you experience this problem? Are the monitors visible through Passthrough? If possible, a screenshot showcasing this issue would be greatly helpful! You can also feel free to take a picture through the lens if that would be easier, using these steps:

 

  1. Place your headset on a flat, stable surface. 
  2. Cover the proximity sensor, located between the lenses, so that the display remains illuminated. As you will likely want both hands for taking your picture, use a
  3. piece of paper and/or tape to block the sensor. 
  4. Keep the lenses pointed away from external light sources, and do not use a flash. The display backlight will provide sufficient illumination for the picture, and
  5. external light will only create glare off the lenses. 
  6. Get your camera as close to the lens as possible without actually touching the lens, so that you are taking a picture through the lens, not of the lens. 

 

We're looking forward to hearing from you, so take your time and get back to us when you can!

Reddit figured this out, and indeed Meta, you should make this feature more obvious (e.g., add a "minimize" button or icon). https://www.reddit.com/r/OculusQuest/comments/yf0su7/in_workrooms_is_it_possible_to_hide_that_middle...

It should be possible to move the menu bar or hide it completely, because hand tracking constantly opens some functions in the menu when typing on the keyboard. This is extremely annoying!

Hey there, @meingott2. We can definitely understand your concerns with wanting to be able to move or hide the menu bar so hand tracking isn't opening random things while typing. We'd recommend creating a post in our Ideas Forums if you have any ideas on how to improve this experience. While we can't guarantee anything, many ideas that gained enough traction and were well received by the community ended up being implemented in later updates. Always worth a shot!
