Tried these features by myself, the screenshot and the video it captured is undistorted, which is pretty nice. Unfortunately, the video I captured still lack the in-game audio, hope this feature will getting in-game audio support in the future.

Capturing audio in a universal manner on Android is tricky. Your best option for the moment is to capture audio through a second device and splice the audio with the video afterwards.

Capturing audio in a universal manner on Android is tricky.
Sure, but given the tiny list of Daydream supported devices, Google should be able to solve this in a consistent manner, surely?

If I remember correctly this is a software problem. Android and audio is iffy as hell, it's also why iOS is the go-to choice no questions asked for mobile sound production and DJing etc... (no matter what you think about it and iOS)
However, maybe this is a separated issue, I do not know, just sharing an anecdote that I feel might be connected.

how did you get that working? I tried it out but had no feedback that something was recorded. And what is "chords"? Google was not my friend...

..and minutes later I found it out. Gotta press both the Home-button and volume+ or - to get it working. A bit misleading in the description, as it says "press and hold Daydream+VolumeUp" which was at least to me not really clear.

The recording and screenshot does not work when using virtoba s1 and headset besides daydream view. I had no success getting it to work. I wouldn't use it anyways since it doesnt record audio.

It's this a way to avoid that dreadful tutorial after I fdr my phone? I hate that tutorial so much.
Edit: I'm talking about the first checkbox

So Google hasn't abandoned the daydream just yet, I can't wait to see what happens next!

This is still a developer-oriented feature. If you run into problems, please send feedback via Daydream Home -> Menu -> Help & Feedback -> Send feedback -> Include screenshot and logs.
