    I'm working on a VR application for the Quest that one of its features is to be able to record yourself from a camera. I have tried some assets like VR capture (by RockVR), but they only work on certain platforms such as Windows or macOS. I have also tried capturing frames and then converting them to a .gif or .mp4 file but that also requires a platform-specific library. Does anyone have a solution?

    Hi @lior_s99

    you will always have cross-platform headaches with in-game recordings because the support of codecs is not universal across all operating systems and hardware. MP4 is the most supported so maybe it works on every single device (but I have no experience recording video inside a Nintendo or PS4 game).

    Have you thought of scripting a Recorder Controller using Unity Recorder? See this thread.

    I assume you're trying to do something like record a regular 2D (not 360) video of the VR pawn, as if the avatar were taking a selfie. In this case, position your camera in the scene and use the above thread as a tip to start recording.

    Cheers

    ** EDIT: just realized that Unity Recorder does not work (yet) in standalone builds, so this might not be the right solution for you.
