Copying videos from the computer to VIVE Focus

Note: If you don't see the beam from the controller, do one of the following:
- Recenter the controller. See Recentering the controller.

Tip:
- Create folders on the storage card to sort the videos before copying them to VIVE Focus. You can see the folders when selecting a video to play back.
