That’s it! Your headset screen will now be mirrored in your browser. 🎉

FAQs

I don’t see the option to cast with managexr.com/casting in-headset

  • Your device may not support casting this way. ManageXR casting on Meta devices requires firmware v68 or higher. If you are using a lower firmware version, you can use our legacy casting tool at casting.managexr.com

  • Make sure you are launching ManageXR Casting from the Settings Toolbar inside your ManageXR Custom Home or Shortcut Menu. Opening the native casting menu from your device’s native settings will not provide the option to use ManageXR casting.

I keep getting a “Permission Denied” error on Meta Quest

This is a known Meta bug. We’ve reported it as a high-priority issue to Meta. If you experience this, please contact us at support@managexr.com.

How do I remove the extra user permission prompt?

After entering your 6-digit code at managexr.com/casting, the user will be asked to confirm a screen-sharing permission.

To disable this prompt:

  1. Go to Configuration > Device Settings

  2. Toggle on Skip Screen Stream Permission Prompt

⚠️ Note: This will also remove the prompt when admins remotely stream devices from the ManageXR Web Console.
