How to share experiences as a group using the new Quest 3, tetherless headset.
In-Person Group Mode
During In-Person Group Mode, the Instructor (or sometimes one learner) wears the headset and share their screen with others in the room, who can see and hear their experience from outside of the headset.
To set up In-Person Group Mode, follow these steps:
1. Sharing Video from your PC to a TV or a Projector.
- Look in your Embodied Labs kit for a video share cable.
- Depending on your laptop model, the video share cable will connect your laptop via USB-C (oval-shaped) or Mini Display port (sideways ‘D’ shaped) to a second screen via HDMI.
- Connect the video share cable from your PC to the TV screen or projector you want to use. Once these are connected, the view you see on your PC's screen should be the same on the second, big screen screen.
- If not, right click anywhere on the PC desktop, select Display Settings, and try selecting a different screen to share to.
- If you still don't see the same thing on the PC screen and the second screen you're sharing to:
- Unplug the headset.
- Right click on the desktop, and select Display settings
- Click on the screen (numbered rectangle) that represents the projector. You may have to try different options to find which represents the projector you are using.
- Choose to Duplicate the display rather than Extend it.
- Re-plug the headset.

2. Open the Embodied Labs Classroom Desktop App, sign in, add your learners on the right pane, and once the learner is in the headset playing an experience, browse to the "Screens" tab on the left
3. On this "Screens" tab, you'll see all of your learners that are currently in an experience, and you can click on the window that you'd like to show, and it will go into full screen until you click again.
NOTE: The screen viewing only works once a user has started an experience, and won't be shown beforehand. This will not work to see the main menu of the Quest headset.
For the instructor or learner wearing the VR headset.
To make the experience the best it can be for those watching along on the big screen:
-
Move slowly and smoothly, a bit like you were doing yoga
-
What you see in the headset doesn’t exactly translate to what the group sees on the big screen, so you may need to look up or down more than you would expect, or slowly scan around what you see, to let everyone share in what's happening.
