Screen Casting Options

When using Autodesk Workshop XR, it may be useful to cast what the user wearing the VR headset can see. Below are two methods you can use to do so with the Meta Quest headsets.

Starting the Screen Cast

  1. In headset, open the Universal Menu.
  2. Go to Camera, then select Cast.
  3. Or, below the name of the currently open app, select the Cast button.

You will be asked whether you want to cast to a web browser or through your Meta Horizon app.

Note:

All devices will need to be on the same network (WiFi or Ethernet) to cast from the headset.

Method 1: Web Browser

  1. Select Computer from Available Devices.
  2. On a compatible web browser (like Google Chrome), open the following page: https://www.oculus.com/casting.
  3. Sign in with your Meta account—the same one you are signed in as on the headset.
  4. A video player will appear and begin casting the view from the headset.

Method 2: Meta Horizon App

  1. Select Meta Quest mobile app from Available Devices.
  2. Open the Meta Horizon app on your mobile device.
  3. Select the Cast button at the top left.
  4. You may need to enable Bluetooth to connect with the headset.
  5. A video player will appear and begin casting the view from the headset.
