Casting from the ManageXR Home Screen on a Meta Quest (in-headset)

How to launch Meta's native casting option from the ManageXR Home Screen

Written by Westley Heagy

ManageXR supports Meta's native casting feature, which lets you wirelessly share a Meta Quest headset's view to a nearby device. You can start casting from the toolbar on the ManageXR Home Screen. Before you begin, please note the following requirements:

  • Casting must be initiated in the headset - This casting method cannot be started remotely from the ManageXR Web Console, so someone wearing the headset must begin the session.

  • Both devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network - The headset and the receiving device must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network for this casting method to work.

Note: This casting method doesn't work on Wi-Fi networks that prohibit peer-to-peer connections

Legacy Meta Devices

If you’re using a Legacy Meta device, it must cast to the Meta Horizon mobile app or a computer web browser via oculus.com/casting, and the headset must be on the same WiFi network and logged into the same Meta account in order for casting to work.

Meta Horizon Devices

This process is for devices that have been registered via Meta Horizon. Meta devices enrolled via Meta Horizon don't require you to sign into your Meta account to cast. Instead, you cast to the browser using a dedicated organization casting link. Follow the steps below to cast from a Quest device to a computer:

  1. Select the casting icon from the Home Screen toolbar.

  2. Select computer from the Available Devices list and then press Next.

  3. On a nearby computer, navigate to your organization’s casting link, which appears in-headset.

    1. The URL will look like oculus.com/casting/{yourOrganizationIdentifier}.

  4. Enter the six-digit code that appears in the headset.
