Hello everyone.

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.

Live stream mixed reality of real world and holograms possible?
I understand that the Hololens can take mixed reality photos and videos of what the user is seeing (using Cortana commands if I remember correctly), but can that video stream be passed in real time to, say, a projector in a classroom (either directly or through another computer)?
Thank you for your help.

Yes. You can use the Device Portal's REST API for Mixed Reality Capture, to stream live with a
GETrequest to/api/holographic/stream/live.mp4To capture mixed reality you'll want to at least set both the
holoandpvparameters totruein your request.7

Where do you place that /api/holographic/stream/live.mp4 uri? There is no media player for unity, I think. I guess you have to open windows media player programatically on the visual studio solution created from unity.
I wrote a step-by-step guide with some tips & tricks about how to use this api here: https://medium.com/truth-labs/how-to-share-your-reality-with-the-rest-of-the-world-22cea52ec07#.3hucuowfk

Excellent tutorial, danT. Thanks for that. I'm wondering if it's possible to access that live stream media source from more than one device. I'm guessing no. If I try to open from vlc and browser, one of them will stop. I guess we have to use OBS or vlc to share with multiple devices.
