The new Capture markers option helps improve framing.<\/p>\nMeta\u2019s new Capture Markers feature shows you exactly what will be in frame before you snap a screenshot or start a screen recording on Quest.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m on the Public Test Channel (PTC), and I\u2019ve noticed a new screen capture tool that makes it much easier to share an exciting game shot or captivating mixed-reality moment without missing the details that matter most.<\/p>\n
What You See Is What You Get<\/p>\n
Meta calls the feature Capture Markers. Before taking a screenshot, my Quest now shows crop marks at the corners of the frame, making it much easier to line things up properly. That fixes two big problems: crooked screenshots and missing the action.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s surprisingly easy to grab an angled or off-center image in VR. The image might be good enough, but there\u2019s a reason photographers use a tripod. Keeping the horizon level helps the viewer orient themselves.<\/p>\n
As frustrating as an off-kilter image is, a bad crop can make a screen capture pointless. Without capture markers, I had to guess what portion of my view would fit within the rectangular bounds of a Quest screenshot. To make matters worse, the aspect ratio can be square, portrait, or landscape. If I forgot which I chose, my screenshot might miss a huge portion of the shot I was expecting.<\/p>\n
The new Capture markers option helps improve framing.<\/p>\n
The new system means what you see is what you get, which feels like a long overdue improvement over older Quest screenshot methods and even broader advice on how to take a screenshot in virtual reality. I can just line up the corners and wait for the screenshot countdown. Screen recordings show capture markers too.<\/p>\n
When this feature rolls out, it can be found in Camera settings. The three options are Off, Auto hide, and On. On keeps capture markers visible throughout a recording. Auto hide removes them after about five seconds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meta\u2019s new Capture Markers feature shows you exactly what will be in frame before you snap a screenshot…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":538488,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[86,56,54,55,4297,4298,4299],"class_list":{"0":"post-538487","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-virtual-reality","8":"tag-technology","9":"tag-uk","10":"tag-united-kingdom","11":"tag-unitedkingdom","12":"tag-virtual-reality","13":"tag-virtualreality","14":"tag-vr"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/538487","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=538487"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/538487\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/538488"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=538487"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=538487"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=538487"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
