I'm currently working on an unity project, where I'm trying to screenshare my content from oculus quest 2 to a remote pc with audio chat enabled using Agora Virtual Camera Prefab package. I actually followed this blog for the implementation https://www.agora.io/en/blog/how-to-build-a-vr-video-chat-app-using-unitys-xr-framework/. I successfully implemented this and connected with a remote pc, but all I'm experiencing is a very poor screenshare of oculus(most of the times black screen) in the remote pc. But audio is better only a lag of 1 or 2 sec, plus even I'm able to see the remote pc user's cam video inside my game through oculus. It'll be lot helpful if anyone could help me with this issue, I'm totally stuck with this. I'm also attaching screenshot of the agora virtual camera prefab's config and the code used for any suggestions.
