I got stuck with other tutorials, this one actually got me through all the setup and things are working great now! Thanks Alex!
happy to help! looking forward to watch the videos you film!
This was great . Thanks for the advice .. only thing that was missing was turning on MRC in the games settings .. I remember seeing that in another video ... beat saber worked fine by the way so they must have fixed it
you are right, thanks for pointing that out and thanks for letting us know that Beat Saber works now
Thank you, pretty clear insights

Amazing. Your advice how to get around that error saved me. Disconnected from calibration app and then reconnected once BS was running worked. TY!!
glad my tutorial helped you with that error!
Thank you Alex for the video. This is the closet I've come to setting this up, but I can't figure out how to change my camera view when recording. In game I hold down the Oculus button while standing in the direction I want to be seen by my camera. For example, using the Space Pirate demo I want to record my back shooting forward. But when I turnaround and hold the Oculus button, it resets my view in game and the recording is showing the parked space ship in the hangar. Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?
your are doing it right. Keep reseting your view holding down the Oculus button until you find the angle you are looking for
perfect!! thank you!!
glad you liked the tutorial
So close to nailing this. Right now I need to figure out how to align my camera and game screen. The gameplay on my PC camera display looks big and distorted, but I can finally see myself in the background. I learn something new every time I come here, so if I have to watch this video a dozen more times, I will conquer this hurdle. LOL. Thanks again!
If your real camera and your virtual camera inside the game are not aligned , you need to repeat the calibration until it matches.
Good luck, just be patient and keep trying. You will master this skill at some point!
Nice bro, Appreciate ya.
You are welcome!
Great Video fellow VR gamer! Yes the list are short. However there are more games that works that aren’t listed. The ones I tried that are working are. Pro Putt, Synthrider, Drop Dead.
Thanks, glad you liked the video. And thanks for letting me know other games I can try 👍👍
Great tutorial , it actually worked
awesome!
Thank you very much for good contents
you are welcome!
Which OBS version is suggested by Oculus? I don't have option to open Properties on OCULUS MRC
when I posted this video I just downloaded the version mentioned in the official Oculus tutorial. Maybe there have been changes since then
At about 7:50 when you click on oculus mrc in my getting any options. Just a blank screen saying no properties available. Any ideas what it might be? I don't think I missed any steps.
that might be a problem with your OBS configuration, try uninstalling OBS and reinstalling it and follow the steps again accurately. Hope that helps, Good luck!
Thank you for the vid !!! :)
One question , how do I change my view ? I try to change it but it keeps recording my backside when I want a front view when playing beat saber
you need to recenter the front facing position. You can do so by holding the oculus button in your controller and facing the direction you want. Hope it helps!
@@AlexGonzalezVR Thank you , I will try again 🙂
But any chance do you know how to adjust the FOV, I have made some videos, but the fov is really small in my videos, as an example when I made a video of space pirate, I barely can see the space ships, I tried adjusting the camera from the controller but it doesnt help.... I am using a very similar green screen as yours, and a Logitech 920
You can adjust the FOV slightly when callibrating i think. But if you decrease the FOV too much you will appear tiny in comparison with the environment.
For space pirate trainer I suggest having the camera in a low position looking up.
Alex, i have an issue with my quest 2 , after import of mrc to obs. i have calibration complete and see my pawn controllers on my chroma key screen. when i close the oculus mrc app, it shuts down the Connected MRC-enabled tab and crashes obs. Do i need to be running a game when i click this tab (connect to mrc-enabled...) instead of the oculus mrc app ? thx
Hi Jacobs, yes this error is very common. Before closing the MRC app on your quest , go to obs and click on disconnect. The open the game you want in your quest, go to obs and connect again.
I talk about this in minute 8:14
I have a questions. Does this need a good network connection, cause when i try mine, the obs and the game is super laggy
yes this need a good network connection 5 ghz preferably, otherwise it lags as you are seeing
this video is underrated thank you for this
glad you enjoyed the tutorial Joey
Do you necessarily need a 5 GHz Wi-Fi router? Because I have spectrum Internet with a Wi-Fi 6 router.
minimum 5 GHz, if you have 6 GHz even better I guess
Hi, i don't find the link to download MRC, on the site there are absolultely nothing except description of the tools ?
Hi, you can download Oculus MRC for Windows here: developer.oculus.com/downloads/package/mixed-reality-capture-tools/
Hey Alex, I'm having an issue with rotating the play area even though I'm using the home button to redirect it, on OBS it just stays behind. Any thoughts?
that's really weird, what VR game or app are your trying to film?
Are you sure it's compatible with mixed reality?
hi i have issue when i connect my oculus game to obs it always show back of the game it wont change when i press oculus bottom ( im playing beat saber) how can i solve this???
did you go to the Beat Saber Settings and did you activate the MRC option?
Hi, I'm so CLOSE. When I get to the step to calibrate my camera, it doesn't show my camera for some reason. Only the yellow controller. Any suggestions?
Hi Dust, if it doesn't show your camera there might be a problem in the step before that.
What camera or capture card do you have?
Are you sure you selected it correctly in the step before that?
Hey Alex !
First, thanks for your tutorial ! :)
You say we can't capture the audio but when I'm on OBS mixer audio, there is "Oculus MRC" and it's the Oculus audio (maybe a new feature?) .
I turn ON this source but the sound is ... Bad ... I put -20DB and it's better but still bad ... I think many configuration are needed ! Maybe put "Stereo" to "Mono" ... don't know :x
Did you try it ? If yes, do you custom this source ? Can you put them ?
Thanks and thanks you again for your video !
hi, thanks for you comment!
I didn't play around with the configuration of audio on OBS.
I capture the audio with the other 2 methods I mention in the video.
If you manage to capture the audio with OBS let us know, please! Thanks
@@AlexGonzalezVR That's right and it's working when you enable the audio source "Oculus MRC".
My issue was a hardware issue... the audio was on my "loud speakers" and with an USB headset / headphone it's working very well !
(Microphone was disable in all cases but don't know why with the loud speaker ... the quality drop)
But in OBS settings, you need to put in outpout "320" in audio quality to go a decent audio.
Sorry for my English, I'm French, I hope it's understandable !
Hi Xeyh, thanks for telling us how you solved the problem with audio.
I will follow your instructions next time I film :)
Is it possible for Oculus Rift CV1?
I do think it's possible, but I don't have that model and didn't try for myself
Do you need to be playing the game on the Oculus Store or on Steam??
On the oculus store
So this only works with PC right? No Mac support?
Only windows yes, sorry
Hola amigo, es posible hacer mixed reality usando macbook air?
Hola amigo, no es posible con mac, lo siento. Solo windows. Saludos
Says that GS is no longer a mrc enabled app. I’ve tested with another app so I know its working. Why would they remove that feature?
Usually they don't remove the MRC feature on purpose, the developers of the games do updates and break the MRC integration by accident.
Hi I have a problem and I'm desperate, I have a presentation in 3 days and I would like to show some of this,. the point in OBS studio I don't get the green screen and when I go to properties I don't get anything
same and no help from the internet
sorry, I don't know why that happens. It's been years that I don't use this app anymore
Nice good job
thank you!
Hey, I'm at the part for the calibration but once my camera is connected and I select the correct webcam, and press calibrate, it just turns to a blank screen after a split second. Is there a way to fix this?
Hi, did you make sure your Quest is ON, connected to the same Wi-Fi as your computer and has the MRC app open?
If yes, I'd recommend restarting windows and doing all the process from the beginning. Hope it helps, let me know
@@AlexGonzalezVR Thanks for the reply
I tried all of the above but it still came with a blank screen. After I connected to the quest with the IP it said Calibration tool Connected on my quest so I figured I should be good. I tried this on an Emulator on the new MacBook so that's probably why it won't won't. Thanks for the help though!
hi! great tutorial, thnx!
But, i have a big problem, on my Quest 2, i can't select a game in oculus mrc, i have just a grey screen with my ip adress and " calibration tool: not connected"! how can i do??
That a very common error, I explain how to solve it in minute 4:10
@@AlexGonzalezVR Okay thnx. i'm french, so i don't understand everything ( my english is so bad) 😅. i'll ask a friend to help me for traduction
@@bnj29 I see, did you try as well activating the subtitles? maybe that helps
have they fix beatsaber MRC yet?
yes they did!
Hola Alex, aun funciona ? Lo use hace un año y todk bien pero ahora en minportatil no consigo hacerlo… quizas me salto algun paso pero al llegar al obs y apretar el mrc no me da ninguna opcion , me dale una pantalla gris . Que me dice que no hay nada .
hola! pues no te se decir como es ahora. Yo no he vuelto a utilizarlo desde que hice este video, lo siento
I wanna ask you something
1) When I want to open a game on oculus, it say exit the app(MRC) to open the game. So I need to exit the MRC and open the games ? After that I need to Connect again on OBS ?
Before opening a game on the quest, on OBS click disconnect from quest.
Then on quest change the game. Then on OBS click connect again.
Please see min 8:15
@@AlexGonzalezVR Ouh thanks, I miss that part tho
@@nightravenz8767 haha no problem :)
please help, I get to the last point, but how do I launch the game? if I disconnect from the OBS, close MRC in oculus, launch beat saber and then try to "connect to MRC-enabled game running on Quest" again it shows the same error "connection failed"
ok solved it, turns out in beatsaber settings you have to checkmark beta testing option to record your gameplay in mixed reality
glad you were able to fix it, thanks for sharing your finding
tengo un problema , que se desconecta del MRC cuando me salgo para ir al juego . que debo hacer en ese caso
tienes que desconectar de MRC antes de cambiar de juego en tu Quest
@@AlexGonzalezVR gracias si funciono
I really need a gaming pc. I am just using an iphone with green screen. its ok but the controllers are not placed right in my hands. that is my only issue 😅
Yeah if you want high quality mixed reality you need a powerful PC
I got stuck with the calibration，I followed the camera calibration process then clicked the button save to headset. It just spins and never does anything. I’ve left it running for an hour and came back to it still spinning. Shut down and restarted everything twice and it still does the same thing
when you clicked the button save to headset, are you sure your Quest is ON, connected to the same WI-Fi and with the MRC app open?
now json file doesnt work in obs insted of quest mrc is game capture and properties for this thing are worng not tahe same as oculus
that's weird, are you sure you have the OBS version that oculus recommneds, instead of the last version of OBS?
i didn't seem to get the oculus MRC under the fore/background, instead, it shows "game capture" what could be the issue?
sorry where does it show "game capture"? at what minute of the tutorial are you?
i had this issue, .. i had to click on Scene collection again and select the QUEST MRC that populated after clicking import. in his video it defaults to the Fore/Back ground tabs because he already had it selected. hope that helps
I have had the same issue, when you are in mrc tool, probably you are selecting quest 2.... select just "quest" and you will have the quest mrc option in obs..... and it doesn't matter the version of obs btw
ahhh this is so far the easiest video to follow. But I am stuck since OBS tells me Display capture no Properties available. I was looking forward to trying this out -_-! anyways Thank you so much for these videos! really got me the closest to mixed reality capture. With the liv tutorial the issue is Liv not sending codes to complete account setup so stuck on that aswell. Just sat here wallowing in self pity haha
just be patient and keep trying, try restarting windows and starting the tutorial from the beginning, that works for me many times
i have the same issue, did u end up findout out the issue?
Apologies for the silly questions but 1) The minute I launch a game I have to exit from the app. Do I need to be tethered and launching the game from the PC?
Are you filming a game from the oculus store or from steam?
@@AlexGonzalezVR I figured it out. I was trying to film a game from the Quest 2 wireless. All I had to do was launch a compatible game and hen sync it like you showed. Awesome video. Thanks again.
glad you solved the problem :) happy filming!
@@CreateConsumeRepeat
Hello I wanna ask you, do we need to exit the mrc on oculus to play the game ? then in the obs we need to connect again ?
@@nightravenz8767 Once OBS IS setup you quit MRC and launch a game that is supported. You don’t need to be tethered. Hope that helps. I have a video on my channel where I am playing Space Pirate Trainer so it def. works.
Maybe I'm just burned out on doing these same steps over and over, but seems like I'm getting farther away and experiencing problems I wasn't in the beginning. Also doesn't help that OBS saves everything you did since kindergarten, so it's hard to truly get a fresh start even after you reinstall. Think I'm gonna have to bow out gracefully and hope an easier, more reliable method comes along in the meantime.
Hey Contel, I am sorry you are having trouble with mixed reality. It's definitely not an easy process at the moment.
How do I send audio via Mixed Reality Capture to OBS?
Thanks for you comment, I didn't manage to capture the audio via obs, sorry. Would love to learn how to do it as well.
I explain other options on how to capture audio in the minute 9:27
@@AlexGonzalezVR I don't know it there was an update however you are able to record the sound from quest without post production or mic being connected to your quest. You just need to set right sound outputs in OBS. You need to have the Oculus MRC sound output set to monitor only (in audio mixer you want to have it on max volume) and destop audio to monitor and output. Everything else monitor off Maybe you will need to set sync offset however that is not that big deal. I hope it helped
@@TheSheriStar hey, thanks for letting us know. I need to try that and update the tutorial then. Thanks so much for taking the time to correct me!
For some reason, when I try to download mixed reality capture in he oculus store it doesn’t show up!
You can't find it from the headset store. You need to add it to your account from your computer. Please see minute 3:04
@@alejocollao ahh thank you very much!
no problem ;)
?? I appreciate the info. but about 7:50 when I click on oculus MRC in OBS, it says no properties available. ??
Yes, me too. Did you ever get the issue resolved?? I'm still stuck.
@@JustDetta No, I honestly just let it sit thinking he was going to get back soon but he hasn’t. I favorited some tutorials on the OBS software so I’m just going to get to know everything and not just this one little part. If I do resolve the issue, I’ll let you know.
Do you have a Mac?
Yes, but I was using Windows at the time. I have them both on my Mac.
@@JustDetta well, I have the fix for the Mac but still working on the Windows version
i cant see the green screen when i select the quest
sorry, what minute of the tutorial are you stuck with?
For me layers don't fit. After I set Camera in Video Capture Device, use Chroma Key and connect to Oculus Game. It all works separetly but don't compose each other so I see small camera view in left upper corner and two separetly views from game - one on the left where are only controllers and one on the right whera are game surroundings and controllers :/ I tried many tutorials but for everyone it seems quite easy but for me it doesn't work.
what game are you trying to capture?
are you sure it's a mixed reality compatible game from this list: creator.oculus.com/mrc/
@@AlexGonzalezVR beat saber.
@@Baloght444 ah okey, then you need to open beat saber on your quest, go to the settings and activate the mixed reality option
@@AlexGonzalezVR @Alex Gonzalez VR yes, I did that every time. I have view from game but it doesn't compose with view from camera in obs studio. The view from camera is 1/4 of canva space and the view from beat saber game is more then canvas and split into two view (one with game environment and one where there is only virtual controllers). I don't understand why on all of tutorials after click im connect button (like in on your video at 9:10) every layers (every views) are automatically mix with each other. For me every layer is separated at this very moment.
@@Baloght444 that's super weird, then. I've never seen that before. There is something wrong in your configuration. Are you using the version of OBS that oculus needs?
The Mrc Porperties will not pop up for me
I don't know why, sorry, it's been years that I don't use this app any more

- when selling your services, do it all in one bit and more commercial like, then it becomes even more professional.
Just an advice (take it or leave it but just want to help and don't mean to be cruel ☺️):
Instead of prompting an e-mail adress, prompt a URL to your company and tell them that they can find out more and contact you through your website. Also put the URL in the description and refer to that link in the video. Last bit of advice, get a e-mail adress more like info@company.com or something like: contact/business/order/sales@...
This would make your business look way more pro. Thanks for the great content, i shall try this tutorial myself and I'll tag you in the video when uploaded.
Be proud, you have done a great job with this vid and I will watch all the rest of your vids. Take care and stay safe my friend. :)
wow Andreas, nobody ever wrote me such a detailed constructive feedback. Thanks so much for your help and the time you put in to write the long comment.
I noted all your suggestions and will apply them ASAP.
Thanks again, if you need any help with mixed reality videos or VR, let me know. I will be happy to help you !
Cheers
I got lost after adding the gameplay image, I couldn't see myself anymore?
Without knowing your situation but my guess would be that you put the gameplay layer above the green screen layer. If this is the case, try switching them
Yes, try what Robin said. If it still doesn't work, restart windows and do the whole process again.
so at 8:40 ... you say press and hold something ... i cant make it out
you said ALT -- figured it out
yes ALT, sorry for my strong Spanish accent

There is no video at all, and I've tried a couple of different cameras
@@brittanygrant2370 that's weird, never had that problem before. What cameras did you try and how did you connect them?
There is no MRC option in beat saber. I bought it on the oculus store. I am using oculus 2. Anyone?
your only way out is to rollback the game version back! I was tormented all day yesterday over a way out of this situation, since I also did not have the mrc tab in the game settings. but I use pirate + bmbf. rolled back the version and the tab appeared. apparently the developers of the game for some reason removed this option
@@Mr8lack problem solved. Now my issue is I cant seem to record beat saber on the center I tried changing my boundaries.

Is anyone else not finding the MRC tool for mac?
I can't help you sorry, I don't have a mac
I have a Mac and I had to use bootcamp to install windows (for free) for everything to work. Bootcamp allows you to toggle between Windows and iOS by restarting your computer. Don't worry, all of your files will still be there. I think iOS just isn't compatible. I looked up the tutorial on YT. Hope this helps.
could they make it MORE difficult? I wonder.
Hahaha it's still on beta, I guess the process will be simplified in the future
