FLO at Events & Venues Guidance
If you are using FLO at an event or venue, you may experience restrictions on network access.
Please follow this guidance to ensure successful access to FLO.
Please note: Ensure the FLO application is up-to-date before you attend an event or venue.
Before the Event
It is advisable to contact the event host to confirm you will have access to either a Wi-Fi or Mobile network connection.
Access FLO with Limited Network
To access FLO, you will need a valid internet connection to log in and some venues or organisations may not have an available Wi-Fi network.
Solution: Users can connect the Meta Quest headset to a mobile hotspot to gain internet access & log in to FLO. A 4G mobile connection is required.
After logging in, the FLO app can function offline for local content but data will not be transmitted from the device until the application is reconnected to the internet.
Venue Firewall Considerations
Certain venues or organisations may have restrictive firewalls that could block connections to the FLO application’s API or deny you from connecting the VR device to the internet.
