Hello,
I'm trying to share screen (mirroring) from an Oculus Quest 2 to my phone/computer with a secondary account linked to the headset. When i click to Share, i see "devices available" and a circle turning but no "Oculus App" or "Computer". (Multi account/Shared app are activated, Devices on the same network/wifi)
In an other hand, on the owner (primary) account, i can cast to "Oculus App" or "Computer" with the owner Facebook account.
I would like to know if it's an issue or i did something wrong. Or the mirroring functionnality is available only for owner account.
Thank you
Regards

I have the same problem... We've switched accounts but it's the same : only the owner (first account linked) can shared... That's annoying !

Hey @TribalPat! I'm hoping you were able to receive an answer to this already, but I'm reaching out just in case that's not right.
When it comes to secondary users, they do have some limited functionality with certain features, casting would be one of them. That would be why you're only able to pair with the administrator account on the headset. If anything, I'd suggest posting about this in our ideas boards, that'd be where our engineers look for any features to potentially bring out in future updates.

Alright, I agree this is a problem, that could easily be fixed on Meta’s side. It’s actually pretty rediclous b/c each account should be able to cast.
However, there is an easy way to cast only if you have Fire TV or a Fire-Stick (basically the same thing). You can download the “Air Screen” App on to your Fire-TV, then open it. After it opens go into your headset hold the flat button (meta) on right joystick, the menu pops up (click) the red camera icon a menu will pop up click cast.
This is helpful b/c my kids I cab watch each other play, and it allows me to see if my kid is playing w/toxic people.
