Live View: watch what is happening in the VR headset

With Live View, you see in the Dashboard what a person in the VR headset is seeing right now. This lets you supervise several people at the same time without standing next to each of them. You do not need a Meta account or an additional app for this.

Before you start

The Dashboard menu shows Live View. If the entry is missing, Live View is not switched on for your organisation. Write to us.
The VR headset is paired with the Dashboard and switched on, and the AtlasVR training application is running.
Coaches and managers see all active VR headsets of their organisation.

Watch a VR headset

In the menu, click Live View. On the Devices page, the View live button also takes you there.
Under Headsets, you see the VR headsets that are online right now: with a green dot in the List view, and with online in the Tiles view.
Click Watch for the VR headset you want to watch. In the List view, the picture appears on the right under Watching.
The Dashboard notifies the VR headset. This usually takes up to 30 seconds, or up to a minute right after you open the page. Then the picture appears.
To stop, click Stop in the list or the X on the picture.

Watch several VR headsets at the same time

Start all: when at least two VR headsets are online, the Watch all button in the List view starts Live View for all the VR headsets shown. Stop all stops them all.
Choose the view: at the top right, switch between List (list on the left, pictures on the right) and Tiles (one tile per VR headset). Your browser remembers your choice.
Pictures per row: in the List view, use Per row to set the maximum number of pictures side by side.
Search: the search box finds VR headsets by name, by the person signed in or by the current step in the training.
Only VR headsets that are online: Only online is on by default and hides VR headsets that are not in contact right now. The line offline headsets hidden shows how many there are and shows them again with one click.

A picture that is running stays on screen, even when you search or switch the view.

Large view and full screen

While the picture is running, open it in a large window with the Show large icon. This always works.

If your computer is on the same network as the VR headset, the Fullscreen icon also appears a few seconds after the first picture. Otherwise, this text appears in its place: Fullscreen is available when this computer is on the same network as the headset. To leave full screen, press the Esc key or click Exit fullscreen.

Live View stops by itself

To save the VR headset’s battery, Live View ends when nobody is watching:

If you do not use the mouse or keyboard for 8 minutes, the Dashboard asks Still watching? Move the mouse, and the picture keeps running. Otherwise Live View ends after 60 seconds.
If you switch to another tab or minimise the browser window, Live View ends after 2 minutes.

Afterwards, simply start the picture again with Watch.

Notice in the VR headset

At the bottom of the page, under Notice in the headset, you decide whether the person in the VR headset sees a small red dot while someone is watching: for each training application, with Switch on or Switch off. By default, there is no notice. The change reaches the VR headsets by itself, within about a minute.

If it does not work

Message No headset is online right now.

None of your organisation’s VR headsets is in contact with the Dashboard right now. Check that the VR headsets are switched on and connected to Wi-Fi, and that the AtlasVR training application is running.

Message Headset is offline.

The VR headset is not in contact with the Dashboard. Check that it is switched on and connected to Wi-Fi, and that the AtlasVR training application is running.

Message Watching works only from the same network as the headsets.

For your organisation, Live View only works when your computer is on the same network as the VR headsets. Connect the computer to this network. If you also need Live View from elsewhere, write to us.

The picture does not start

After clicking Watch, wait up to 90 seconds. The Dashboard then gives the reason, for example The headset did not answer. or No direct connection could be established. Then start Live View again with Watch. If that does not help, restart the training application in the VR headset.
