Screencasting your Omni One gameplay allows you to share your VR experiences with others by displaying them on a TV or through a browser. Here’s how you can do it using the built-in screencast feature or a Miracast dongle:
Method 1: Built-in Screencast Feature
Requirements:
- Ensure your headset and the receiving device (TV or browser) are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
Steps:
-
Initiate Screencast:
- From the home environment, click on the Quick Access button and select ‘Cast to Screen.’
-
Choose Screencast Destination:
- Select ‘Screencast to a smart TV’ or ‘Screencast to Browser.’
Screencast to TV:
- Set your TV to its display mirroring mode (refer to your TV manufacturer’s instructions).
- Select your TV from the list shown in the headset. This will begin the screencast.
- To stop screencasting, select the option to stop the screencast from within the headset or use your TV’s remote.
Screencast to Browser:
- Enter the address shown in the headset into the browser’s address bar and press return.
- Select ‘Start Screencast’ in the browser.
- In the headset, allow the device to start streaming.
- To stop screencasting, bring the mouse cursor to the bottom of the screen to bring up the option to end the stream, or simply close the browser window. It can also be stopped from within the headset.
You may be prompted to enter a code the first time you stream to a device.
The screenshot feature won’t work while you are screencasting.
Method 2: Using a Miracast Dongle
Requirements:
- A Miracast dongle and a compatible TV.
Steps:
-
Connect the Dongle:
- Connect the Miracast dongle to the headset’s USB-C port.
-
Follow Dongle Instructions:
- Follow the instructions provided with the Miracast dongle to complete the setup.
Screencasting will drain the headset battery faster. To extend the operating time, plug a compatible battery pack into the headset’s USB-C port if using the built-in screencast feature. Using a Miracast dongle may provide a higher quality video stream but will occupy the USB-C port, preventing the use of a battery pack.
