Overview

If your team is using Unmanaged Apps on your devices (apps from your device's respective app store to download applications or pre-installed applications on your devices), you can also use our Remote Launch feature to launch them on your devices.

However, before you're able to remotely launch them, you'll need to first ensure that they are added to the ArborXR Home Headset Experience. See the steps below!

Step 1 - Add Unmanaged App(s) to ArborXR Home

  1. Navigate to the individual ungrouped device or device group in question.

  2. Select the Headset Experience tab.

  3. Select ArborXR Home.
