Hello everyone.

The Mixed Reality Forums here are no longer being used or maintained.

There are a few other places we would like to direct you to for support, both from Microsoft and from the community.

The first way we want to connect with you is our mixed reality developer program, which you can sign up for at https://aka.ms/IWantMR.

For technical questions, please use Stack Overflow, and tag your questions using either hololens or windows-mixed-reality.

If you want to join in discussions, please do so in the HoloDevelopers Slack, which you can join by going to https://aka.ms/holodevelopers, or in our Microsoft Tech Communities forums at https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/mixed-reality/ct-p/MicrosoftMixedReality.

And always feel free to hit us up on Twitter @MxdRealityDev.

Is there a way to cast the Hololens (like the video recording) to another computer or display?

Hi, when I use this amazing product, I notice that only the wearer can see the AR, other friends cannot at least be aware what is in front of the Hololens user. Is there a way in the device already to cast the realtime screen already?

    That seems to be a common issue, checkout the forum topic on that:

    This guy's tutorial helped me out with creating a live broadcast by using the device's REST API to expose the media recorder through a web url:

    https://medium.com/truth-labs/how-to-share-your-reality-with-the-rest-of-the-world-22cea52ec07#.d3scgy3ch

    Simple instructions and takes about 5 minutes to configure once the software is downloaded and installed (assuming you encounter no problems).

    Hit the Windows key and type Region.

    @Jarrod1937 region has been set to US. Still no luck.Very frustrating.
    @Jason thanks for offering an alternative.

    Now that HoloLens is available in more countries this step should not be required still...

  • which one is the companion app? I just go to the store and download it?
