Hi,
Can anybody help!
I have managed to add a second account on my oculus quest 2 headset and all the apps are showing as I choose to share them, but I cannot pair the headset on the second account App, it searches and does not find it and does not pair after entering the 5 digit code.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Sorry to belabor this topic, but I logged into this community for the first time to echo my frustration about this limitation. As a related side note/complaint, WHY DOES YOUR APP NOT MAKE THIS CLEAR? We tried several times to get my wife's secondary account to connect so that we could cast to our TV, never having any idea that this is literally impossible. Every time it said, "enter the code that you see," when no such code was ever going to appear. What kind of an app does that?? How hard is it for your devs to create a simple if/then condition to recognize that a secondary account is active and post a "Sorry, this feature is only available to admin accounts" message when someone tries to connect? The lack of clarity here is just ridiculous.
But then again, so is the limitation in the first place. I'm not a software developer, but I am "adjacent" to devs of different types, and I don't feel like it's asking a lot for secondary accounts to just adopt the same headset connection that the admin account has — why on earth would a secondary headset connection be needed? We were really excited to be able to play Beat Saber together, broadcasting our action to our TV the way our friends (wired) headset does, only to be thwarted over and over as we tried to get that working.
I'm certainly glad I finally found out that this isn't possible, but I'm also stunned that it isn't possible. My wife is having friends over tomorrow while I'll be away and was hoping to show them various things in VR, but that's half the fun when only the person wearing the headset has any idea what's going on. We're both extremely disappointed that my phone has to be present to cast to our TV.. 👎🏼
