Mirroring your phone screen to VIVE XR Elite
You can mirror your phone screen to
VIVE XR Elite so you can use your phone without taking off the headset.
You can navigate your phone, launch mobile apps, and view photos and videos in VR.
Important:
- Phone mirroring is only available for Android phones.
- To use phone mirroring, your phone must support
Miracast. You can also stream DRM-protected content to the headset as long as your phone supports HDCP 2.2 or later.
To check your phone's compatibility, see Phones compatible with VIVE XR Elite.
- Make sure to pair VIVE Manager with your headset if you haven't done so. For details, see Pairing VIVE Manager with a new headset.
Before mirroring your phone screen, make sure your headset is connected to
VIVE Manager and your phone screen is on and unlocked. Your phone's
Bluetooth® and
Wi-Fi® must also be turned on.
Here's how to mirror your phone screen to the headset:
- Put on your headset.
- In the Library, select Phone mirroring.
-
When you see the
Invitation to connect dialog box, select
Accept.
Your phone screen will be displayed in VR.
- Aim the beam anywhere on your phone screen to interact with it just as you'd normally do on your phone.
-
Use the toolbar below the phone screen to do the following:
Option Description Go back to the previous screen. Open your phone's voice assistant (for example, Google Assistant). Change phone mirroring settings. For details, see Changing phone mirroring settings. Switch the screen orientation between portrait and landscape. After switching to landscape orientation, you'll see the Curved screen button
on the toolbar. You can select the button to change between a curved and flat screen.
Tip:- If you don't see the toolbar, aim the beam toward the phone screen to make it appear.
- When viewing videos, make sure your phone's audio volume is not muted.
