Rooms (beta) is our easy-to-use tool for guiding VR classrooms, training sessions, and events. You can view all participant screens in one dashboard and start any app or experience across all headsets at once. With Rooms, your users stay focused, and you stay in control.

How to get access

Rooms is currently in private beta. Fill out this form to get early access to Rooms.

Recommended preparation

Before using Rooms, we recommend that you turn the configuration setting to Turn Off the Streaming Permission Prompt in-headset. This will make the process of starting a room and viewing screens seamless for you and your end users.

Create a Room

  1. Sign into ManageXR and go to the Rooms tab

  2. Click Create Room

  3. Give your room a name

  4. Select devices to add to your Room

  5. To go to the next step, click Select Activity

  6. (Optional) Select an activity to launch when the Room starts. If no activity is set, the Room is in 'Participant Choice' mode and participants can choose their own activity from the content available on their device.

  7. Click Save room for later

🎊 Congrats! Your room is ready! You can use it immediately, or save it for a later time. We recommend creating rooms in advance to help save time in the classroom or event.
