Disabling the Proximity Sensor
Place a sticky cover over the sensor located between the two lenses inside the headset. This option allows you to test streaming on multiple headsets without learners. If the sensor detects nothing, your stream will display a black screen until it detects a presence and turns on the display.

Connecting Devices to the Same WiFi (Local/Internet)
Connect the headsets and the PC to the same WiFi network so they can communicate with each other and Omnicast can serve as a remote control. The network can be an internet or local network. It doesn't matter as long as the devices are connected to the same network.
