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.
Requirements
To skip the screen streaming in-headset prompt, you must be (a) using ManageXR Admin App version v1.7.86 or above (how to check?), or (b) have manually granted permission on your device with the Device Setup Tool
How to turn off streaming/casting prompt
Go to your Configuration
Select Device Settings
Under Security Settings toggle Skip Stream Permission Prompt ON
Save Changes
When the requirements above are met and this option is selected, streams will no longer require an in-headset prompt to start a screen stream. Instead, it will start automatically!
(Troubleshooting) Manually granting skip streaming permission
Devices using the latest ManageXR Admin App (v1.7.86 or above) will enable you to control the streaming permission prompt with the configuration setting, as described above.
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
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.
