What is a Group Filter?
Group Filters allow you to organise headsets into specific groups so you can send different content to each group — even when all devices are on the same Wi-Fi network.
Example uses:
- Running two different lessons at the same time in the same school.
- Using separate playlists in the same classroom.
- Sending content to specific headsets for testing or demonstration (e.g., lesson plan checks, showcasing VR experiences).
Creating a Group Filter
- Go to the Deliver Tab
- In the ClassVR Portal, click the Deliver tab at the top.
- Open the Device Filter Menu
- In the Devices pane (bottom right), click the Create New Device Filter icon.
- Create a New Group
- In the Add New Filter dialog box, select Group from the dropdown.
- Click Create New Group.
- Name Your Group
- In the Create New Group dialog box, type a name for your group.
- Click Create Group.
- Select and Apply the Group
- Click the Create New Device Filter icon again.
- In Group to Show, choose your group name and click Add Filter.
- Assign Headsets to the Group
- Your group will now appear at the top of the Devices pane.
- Click the QR code icon next to the group name.
- Use the Scanner App on a headset to scan the QR code.
- Repeat for each headset you want to add to the group.
Separating a Single Device
- Right-click on the headset’s name in the Devices pane.
- Select Filter to separate it from others.
Important Notes
- Persistence: Groups only exist if headsets are assigned to them. If no devices are in a group, it will disappear when the page is refreshed.
- Disconnected devices: If a headset is in a group but disconnected, the group remains visible until all devices are removed.
- Browser-specific: Groups are stored per browser session — they are not linked to your organisation or user account. Each user must create their own groups.

If you’d like, I can also create a visual quick guide version of this article with screenshots from the Portal showing where the Group Filter, QR code, and Device pane are — this tends to help teachers who are less familiar with the interface.
Do you want me to prepare that illustrated version?
