Overview
ManageXR can now start Device Screen Streaming silently on many headsets—without showing Android’s built‑in “Allow screen capture?” dialog. The default behavior for ManageXR devices is to skip the prompt, meaning devices should start streaming without the in-headset dialog appearing.
Requirements
To skip the screen streaming in-headset prompt, you must be (a) using ManageXR Admin App version v1.7.86 or above, or (b) have manually granted permission on your device with the Device Setup Tool
How to turn on the in-headset casting prompt
By default, devices will skip the “Allow screen capture?” dialog. As long as devices meet the above requirements, no further action is required to skip the in-headset prompt.
If you enable this setting, devices will need to accept a prompt in the headset when a streaming request is made. Please follow these instructions if you prefer to require users to manually grant streaming permission.
Go to your Configuration
Select Device Settings
Under Security Settings, toggle Require Streaming Permission Prompt ON
Save Changes
(Troubleshooting) Manually granting skip streaming permission
When a device is on an Admin App version compatible with skipping the streaming prompt, you should see a check mark next to Skip Streaming Prompt Permission on your Device Information page:
If you see an X for this permission, you can grant the permission manually via the Device Setup Tool:
Download the ManageXR Device Setup Tool - must use version 2.0.14 or above
Sign in
Plug in your device
Enable USB Debugging in-headset
Click on the "..." menu
Choose Allow Skip Streaming Prompt (it may be lower in the list)
FAQs and Troubleshooting

I keep getting an immediate permission denied error
There is currently a Meta bug causing streams to immediately fail and show permission denied, regardless of this setting. We are working with Meta to resolve this issue and expect it to be fixed in a later firmware version. Reach out to support@managexr.com for more information.
