How to take a screenshot in Oculus Go

There is a dedicated button in your sharing menu that lets you trigger a screenshot. Once you click on it, you have five seconds to get back to the app or game you want to take a screenshot of.

I recommend navigating to the view you want to screenshot, then pausing the app app or game. When you click to take a screenshot, it will automatically un-pause the app or game so you're where you want to be quicker. You might still have to click on Continue or select a video once you're back in the content, but it's faster than trying to open a slow app or get to the right game screen.

1. Launch your Oculus Go.
2. Select Sharing from the options panel at the bottom of the screen.
3. Select Take Photo.

1. Navigate back to the app or game you want to take a screenshot of. Remember, you only have five seconds, so you'll have to click through to the correct screen quickly.

Screenshots are stored in your Oculus Go photo library where you can share them.
