No guardian required, in fact even if you have it enabled yourself I disable it in code anyway. To record the video with the guardian off and have no black background I use the Quest Games Optimizer, not sure how it does it but if you toggle the boundary in that app it allows video recording in passthrough will no black background.@Tykey do you have to create a guardian for the app to work, and if you have the guardian disabled, how are you recording the footage in the videos?
