By granting the "Device Owner" commonly known as the "Device Admin" role to Spawnpoint on your headsets, you can benefit from a number of fantastic features including:
- Wireless Game and Spawnpoint Updates, no more tangling yourself in USB cables when you need to update your games
- Headset On-Head Detection, to quickly see which headsets are currently being worn in the Play Tab
- Meta Quest Controller Battery Monitoring, even when you're not running a game
Enabling Admin Features during enrollment of an LBE-ready Headset
On VIVE Focus and Pico headset, this is a very simple process: just turn the Admin switch on (it's enabled by default) when adding a headset to your arena. If you already have an app such as an MDM in the Device Owner slot, you will need to remove the device owner role from that app first - how you do this will depend on the app in question.
Enabling Admin Features to an already-enrolled LBE-ready Headset
If you've already added your VIVE Focus or Pico headset to Spawnpoint, you can enable device admin using the following process:
- Plug the headset into your PC
- Go to the Devices Tab
- Click the Cog on the headset you just plugged in
- Go to the Spawnpoint tab in the Device Management Window
- Click Grant Device Admin
- After a few moments, your headset will disconnect and reconnect to Spawnpoint and Spawnpoint's background management app should now have been granted admin privileges on the headset
You can also remove Device Admin from Spawnpoint on a headset by following the same instructions. If you have already granted Spawnpoint device admin then there will also be a Revoke Device Admin button you can click.
Enabling Admin Features on Meta Quest Headsets
If you are using a Meta Quest headset there are a few additional steps you must follow before you can enable these features. If you are adding a Quest to your arena and have enabled the Admin switch the usual Install button will be greyed out and you will be presented with additional guidance which will guide you through the process detailed below for preparing your Quest for granting Spawnpoint these admin features. If you would rather just add your headset and install games over USB, you can disable the Admin switch and simply click Install to proceed.
If you are enabling Admin features on a headset you've already added to Spawnpoint, you can start this process via the same steps detailed in Enabling Admin Features to an already-enrolled LBE-ready Headset above.
Preparing a Quest may take a little extra time per headset but will save you considerably more time in the future, as game updates will deploy wirelessly to all of your headsets so you don't need to plug each one in one-by-one and wait for content to install over USB.
Once complete, you're ready to go with our incredible set of Admin features - enjoy your wireless updates!
