BeamXR Live needs certain permissions to stream and record your gameplay — like access to your microphone, camera, and display. If something isn’t working (e.g. no mic audio or black screen), it’s worth checking your app permissions.

​
How to Check App Permissions

  1. On your Quest headset, open Settings
  2. Go to Apps > Permissions
  3. Find and select BeamXR Live
  4. Review the following permissions:
    • Microphone – should be enabled
    • Camera – should be enabled (for passthrough / face tracking)
    • Display Capture / Screen Recording – should be enabled
    • Network / Internet – typically enabled by default

​
Resetting Permissions

If something seems off or BeamXR Live isn’t behaving properly:
  1. Go to Settings > Apps > BeamXR Live
  2. Choose Clear App Permissions
  3. Relaunch the app — it will ask you to re-grant any required permissions

​
Common Fixes

  • If your mic isn’t working, check the Microphone permission is enabled
  • If your stream shows a black screen, check Display Capture is enabled and you’re sharing the Entire View
  • If face tracking or passthrough isn’t working, ensure Camera access is on
