Is there a way to quickly switch between passthrough and VR?

I think in one of YouTube review videos it was said that there is a way to switch between VR and passthrough mode
Unfortunatelly I haven't been able to find a way to do it.
Does anyone know a magic combination of buttons?

Someone else posted a similar question here...we don't think so. Only via breaking the guardian system boundary.

Hope they add the feature,, like a long press on the left sticks menu button which currently doesn't do anything!

In the settings you can set it to get passthrough by pressing two times on the home button.

Where exactly can you find this "manual passthrough" setting?
All I see in Settings | Controller | Customise Oculus Button is:
- Fast movement detection
- Long press to pause

I would really need the facility to enable the passthrough camera while using WebVR (I have an application) - augmented reality!!

I think it is for Rift S only atm. Hopefully they update it for Quest too.

Yep, it's Rift-S only.

The current method I’ve been using while in a game is to click on the Oculus button on the right controller which pauses the game and takes you Home, then to click on “Room Scale” (located above Navigate) to view the passthrough camera. Once I click Confirm Guardian it takes me straight back to the game. Better than nothing at least.
