A question about the casting function

Hi everyone,

I am reaching out on behalf of one of our clients. They wanted to know if the casting feature of the headset requires that the headset and the screen being casted to communicate on a peer-to-peer basis, or do they both go through the cloud? I would assume it is through the cloud since the user is required to go to horizon.meta.com/casting, but I wanted to doublecheck. 

Thank you, and please let me know if I should ask the client for any clarification on their question.

    Hi there,

     

    Thanks for reaching out with the question on casting from the Quest headset.

     

    Generally, when casting from the Quest it is through a local peer-to-peer process that requires both the headset, and the device that you are casting to, to be on the same network.

    However, when using the https://horizon.meta.com/casting/ with a PC web browser, it will be via the cloud.

    We've linked our article on the various methods for casting that you might find useful- Casting from the Meta Quest

     

    We at Meta Store Support hope that this proves useful to you.

     

    Thanks!
