I put a bunch of my Insta360 files directly onto the Quest 3 simply by plugging in the USB-C port and selecting ALLOW in the headset. The Quest shows up in File Explorer and you can just drag files over. Never had to enable Developer mode. One side note, if you have setup the Quest to connect to the desktop Oculus app, you have to disable that first or it won't show up as a media device when you plugin the USB.
Hi.. got a quest 3 . Today was watching the 360 degree video .. I feel I don't see the quality like a 2D video gives in 1080 etc.. is it ok? It's more like 480p only quality.. in the meta video apps that we have..
The trick for RUclips is easy. Export in 8K, load as hidden video. The upscaling looks way better, less hoops to jump through. No need to create a Dev account or download any extra things. Much simpler.
@@UHFStation1 YT def does 8K. Your device might not support it but there are videos in 8k HDR for sure. Search “Peru 8k in Chrome on a compatible computer (I have a 14” MacBook Pro) and you can choose 8k HDR.
Hello, I have a question related to 360 photos. I own insta360 1 inch and I keep taking good quality images and post the in Google as 360 photo. What confused me is the post quality is not that good, although there are other 360 photos posted in Google with outstanding quality. Do you know what is the issue...
Having a really hard time getting my 8k, 3D 360 file to just play when side loaded into headset. Tried it on both my Quest 2 & 3 and both just show the file. It'll open it when clicked but nothing happens, simply shows the name of the file as it refuses to play. A bit frustrated. Searched high and low and nothing online seems to target the issue. File specs: H264 HIGH10 400bpm mp4 Any advice or help would me really amazing. Dunno what else to do. trying to have it playback as amazing as it can given it's for a festival screening.
Got my video uploaded directly to the headset. Found the file, played it, changed the viewpoint to 360 as described. However, it still shows the Meta Quest 3 menu bar (the bar that shows battery level, lets you select different apps, etc). I can pick it and drag it very low (or high) so that it's not dead center of the 360 video. But I can't find a way to get rid of/hide the menu bar entirely. Is there a way to hide it while the video is playing back in 360?
It's really too bad there's not an insta 360 app for quest 3. I would love to use my headset to edit the videos for export to RUclips although I'm not sure how the UI might function.
how's the quality of the experience in this quest 3 goggles? when you watch videos from insta360 one ? is it immersive? if i would record some video from a trip and then show it to my friends, would they like it?
Hello, i have insta 360 rs one inch and i record in 6k and when i transfer my 360 video in 6k full resolution to quest 3 its look bad and not clear!! is there a ways to make it look better and watch it in better resolution ?
Thinking about buying a Quest3, but I was curious if it's possible to record video with the passthrough or other tool on the Quest3? Say I want to make a video of playing with my dog or doing a house walkthrough like maybe a GoPro, does it have that capability? Seems like if I was going to share with the Quest 3 it may be easier to take a video with the Quest 3 to begin with. Doesn't need to be 360 video.
Hello Ben, thank you for your tutorials. I’m looking for a kiosk mode application that is supported by the Meta Quest 3. Thank you for your suggestions.
Cheers! thanks for breaking this down, this is helpful! My footage coming off insta360 RS ONE 1" looks at least decent on any screen but the Quest 3 (only VR headset at my disposal). Is it the setting I use or why does the 360° video look so crappy when experienced through the Q3? Close up things look almost over sharpened and stuff farther away unclear and partially soft. I was wondering if it just is like this? Any thoughts?
Nice video and thank you! I would need help to create “Video 3D SBS Half” for uploading to RUclips, I have them in version “Video 3D SBS Full” which program can do this conversation? Does it exist free? Thank you bye!
Hi my friend, I really appreciate your channel on VR Creation Videos, do you have a step by step guide to how to transfer VR content to Headsets, I know this video explains this but I can never remember all the steps Equipment I have Oculus GO, QUEST 2 Vuze 3D human eyes camera (still hate the software after all this time) Insta Quest 1 inch 360 and a Mac 🖥️ I just need an easy step by step tutorial that I can follow to watch my videos in my headset. If you could help me with this I’d greatly appreciate it
Another excellent presentation…thankyou! I’m obviously behind the wave (again) because it was only an hour ago I began to ponder this type of possibility… now it is real!!!
Hi Ben, insta360 doesn't want people to do 360 video for vr headset like the quest 3, why I say that, in the new insta360 suite v5 software there is no possibility the export in 360 mode for vr, just crap like moon or flat reframe, if you are friends with them could you ask them to add the possibility to export in 360, thank you.
Thank you for this Ben. I was able to relive a vacation and some other special moments like my daughter's 5th grade _'graduation'_ too. I hope maybe x5 is two Insta360s mashed together and is able to record stereoscopic videos in 360 degrees. If that becomes a thing, I would then record 100% of all videos using that device. Everything else would just be inferior.
Nice video and this is being exactly done by me. But Insta 360 cameras and Meta quest being a single parent products they should come up with an application to stream without any of these efforts for better user experience. when we are able to stream the video on mobile app connecting to camera. it should be possible with quest headsets too technically
is there possible to put you video on googles and when you watch it in googles the small video apears in the main video and you watch it,is it possible?
I would love to share stereoscopic 180 or 360 videos that I've filmed with my 75 year old dad who owns a Meta Quest 2 and lives 1000 miles away, but there is no easy solution. RUclips really is the closest option but the quality is poor. Does Skybox allow easy sharing of videos without uploading them locally?
Hi Ben, im just curious, what if the X3 and 1 inch have the same price or maybe 1 inch just $100 more expensive? Are you think the 1 inch is definite choice over the X3?
How i transfer movie from my samsung tab s7 plus ? It works only with 3.4 gb movie max , more than that its impossible, I've tried 100 times , i always dont find the movie into meta quest 3 menory , i find only the file name but zero byte size , this is driving me crazy How do you guys do ? Plese someone hepl me
Isn't it possible to connect an external SSD drive directly to the headset's USB -C port and play videos from that? I think every technical condition is available to make it possible but no one is talking about that :(
does the sidequest app also work for windows? I have a big popup with Downloading... 100% and it doesnt go away. It also say i have to allow something in the headset but i already accepted everything i can...
I don't get why they haven't put a second usb port on here for an external SSD drive. I want to be able to put a few TBytes of storage into my headset. For a guy like me, I make hundreds of videos and pictures..and the built in storage is literally NOTHING to me. Every time I want to show off something to someone or set up a demo....I have to move stuff off of the headset to make room. Its a pain. Why can't I just attach an SSD drive?
Hey brother I asked you this question because I know you are the one who would do this I need to you do a video comparing matterport vs Realsee I really want to know what's the main difference between, so far I think the winner is realsee
@@mikerotchburns1622 it’s not actually signing and actual NDA of any meaning. It’s just a formality to access developer mode. If you’re funny about it, don’t do it.
I struggle to understand why people shoot 360 video. It seems flat and we can't look in all directions at once. Surely the 180 degree 3d format is the one to go for?
Hi Alan, yes it doesn’t have the depth of 3D… but in environments with true 360 degree views, it can still be a great way to capture the entire location for easy watching back later.
Don't understand the whole "developer" thing? I don't intend to share all 360 video with a community. Why can't I just wire them over and view in folder?
Everything looks so big in stead of normal size. People are looking like giants on my Quest3 when I watch the 360 video’s which I recorded on my Insta360 x3. What am I doing wrong?
@@RajJaiRaj If the people are close to the camera when recording they will appear quite large compared to things in the distance. Same happens with any camera - but with cameras like the X3 they are very often used on a short stick very close to the people being filmed. When you watch through the headset you are viewing those people as if you were as close to them as when the video was recorded.
Simply not user friendly. So many steps most normal people would give up or use it once. It’s 2024 in 2 weeks and we still have these sort of clunky procedures.
@@Greggie_D new technology usually requires learning and setup. If it’s too much for you then best to stick to older technology that’s more simplified.
@BenClaremont not an issue for me I love all this new stuff. I look at it from others point of view. So many unnecessary complications the designers don't think about. I was a mechanic for 12 years. Designers of the cars never took the people who work on them into consideration. Same deal with some modern tech. It should be easier to set up.
@@Greggie_D I know what you are saying, and I agree. If you were to talk to the programmers writing this stuff they would give reasons why it has to be that way - but we also know that if they really wanted to, they could do it in a way that was less cumbersome - they just don't need to to meet their goals. Personally I think that it will be a few more decades before user friendliness peaks.
Thanks Ben - too bad Meta hasn't embraced 360 video and made it brainlessly easy to use it. Your content is awesome!

Did everything you said, but when I connect to the pc, only option I get is enable airlink as I have the oculus rift software installed on my pc.
There is no way to to transfer media directly from insta 360 device to mq3?
Do you need to be connected with the cable after the download?

No-one is talking about it because I’m pretty sure you can’t do it. It would make the inbuilt storage redundant. Will test it though just incase 👍🏻
