    If I try to instantiate the whole VRPlayerController (> Camera Offest > VR Camera > Left/Right Hand) starting from a prefab and deploy on my OculusQuest I just get a still frame. If I place the VRPlayerController directly in the scene before deploying it then it works well.
    What could be the problem

    If you want to spawn prefabs on runtime you need them to be in a folder called Resources.

    The reason this doesn't work is because the camera in VR needs to be initialized at project startup time. It may be possible to switch from one camera to a newly instantiated one, but you need the VR camera to be enabled at startup
