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.

Do my computer and device need to be on the same network?

No. Your computer and device can use different wi-fi networks.

Is there a limit to how many devices I can cast at once to my computer?

There is no fixed limit to how many devices you can cast at once. However, performance will start to degrade due to wi-fi network limitations once you add many devices. When the degradation starts depends on the network.

Is there a limit to how many devices in my ManageXR account can be casting at once?

No. Users in your ManageXR organization cast as many devices at a time as you'd like (subject only to wi-fi network constraints). That said, a given device can only be casting to one computer at a time. So, Admins in two different places using two different computers cannot simultaneously cast a device.

If the client shares the 6-digit code from their location, will I be able to cast their VR device to my laptop from a different location?

Yes!
