- Video capture is not supported while streaming and device streaming is not supported while you are capturing video.
- To protect privacy, some content such as notifications are not streamed.
- To improve streaming performance while using Helio, use only one Helio window at a time.
Streaming to a macOS or Windows PC
You can stream to your computer over your device's Wi-Fi network. Unless you have configured your device for Wi-Fi debugging, you need to connect a USB cable between your PC and your device to initiate the device stream, even though the stream itself is transported over Wi-Fi.

- Magic Leap Package Manager for macOS or Windows
- Connect the Magic Leap device over Wi-Fi to the same local network as your macOS or Windows PC.
