I was looking for ways to record video and take pictures with the Quest 3, without having to create a boundary/guardian as meta don't like you using passthrough without one.
Workaround -
So, if you disable the guardian in dev options or QGO and then fire up a mixed reality game such as First Encounters, the game will not let you continue without setting up the guardian by scanning the room.
If you start the MR game with your finger covering the middle sensor window, it will try and scan the room and sometimes ask to rescan the room. Then the game stalls and just shows the passthrough.
Click on themeta Oculus button to check to see if the game is still running, don't click the continue or quit game options.
Open up the camera app and start recording or take a picure. Click on themeta Oculus button to clear the menus.
Or, click on themeta Oculus button to clear the menus and use hand controller buttons to record video or take pictures.
This is currently working for me on V69 PTC, and I've also got the Ocular Migraine app running in the background to give 4K stereoscopic SBS video and image capture.
