What happens to the Quick button when XREAL Eye is connected or disconnected?
When you connect XREAL Eye, the Quick button is automatically assigned to:
- Click: take a photo.
- Press and hold: record video.
After disconnecting XREAL Eye
Disconnecting XREAL Eye does not automatically restore the previous Quick button assignments. Clicking the Quick button will display “XREAL Eye not connected.” This is expected behavior. To use the button for other functions, open 「Settings」 > 「Quick Button」 and reassign the click and press-and-hold actions.

For detailed photo and video instructions, see the XREAL Eye guide.
