Overview
ManageXR can now start Device Screen Streaming silently on many headsets—without showing Android’s built‑in “Allow screen capture?” dialog. When the underlying permission is present, the stream begins immediately; when it isn’t, users will instead see ManageXR’s familiar in‑headset prompt.
This document explains what you will see in the product, which headsets qualify for streaming without a permission prompt, and how to recognize and enable the capability on your fleet.
Behavior summary
On devices with the permission granted, you can now choose to have a prompt appear when users send a Screen Streaming request by enabling "Skip Screen Streaming Permission Prompt" on your Configurations.
When a device has the appropriate permissions and this option is selected, streams will no longer require an in-headset prompt to start a screen stream. Instead, it will start automatically!
For devices that do have the permission, but this option is disabled, you'll now see a slightly different in headset prompt. You can read more about that in the Device Screen Streaming help doc.
To summarize:
Permission Granted + Skip Screen Streaming Permission Prompt enabled → Instant stream start (no user action).
Permission Not Granted + Skip Screen Streaming Permission Prompt enabled → User still receives a prompt and must accept to start the stream.
Permission Not Granted + Skip Screen Streaming Permission Prompt disabled → User still receives a prompt and must accept to start the stream.
Which headsets can skip the dialog without manually pre-granting the Skip Screen Streaming Permission?
The permission can be self granted already present on many enterprise devices:
Pico G2, Neo 2, Neo 3 headsets
DPVR P1 and P2 headsets and other devices on Android 8.1 or below
If a device falls into one of these categories, the Streaming Permission badge will read Granted the next time it syncs with ManageXR. For other devices, they will need to be granted manually.
Enabling Skip Streaming Permission Prompt on other devices
For headsets that show Not Granted you have two options:
Leave it as‑is — ManageXR will continue to display a prompt whenever an admin starts streaming.
Grant the permission manually via the Device Setup Tool. Then, on the web console, the permission will display as granted and if enabled on the configuration, future streams will begin automatically.
Any new device registered with the Device Setup Tool v2.0.14 or above will automatically have this permission granted. MHMS devices will still need to be plugged into a computer and have the permission granted manually.
When a device is plugged into the Device Setup Tool and is missing the permission, a prompt will appear
When this prompt is present, the permission can be granted by clicking the kebab menu on the far right, then going to "Allow Skip Streaming Prompt"
Identifying Devices with Skip Streaming Prompt Permission
To help identify which devices in your fleet currently have or need the Skip Streaming Prompt Permission, we've added two new filters to the device list:
1. Missing Stream Without Prompt Permission
2. Has Stream Without Prompt Permission
This will let you quickly find devices that have or have yet to get the new permission!
You can also easily identify devices on the Device Detail page, by going to Device Information, and scanning the Android Permissions section. There, you can see if an individual device has this permission granted.
