# Mixed reality passthrough window

If you have a compatible VR headset, you can open a passthrough window in an ENGAGE Session. The passthrough window is a rectangular region that shows a view through your headset's passthrough camera. For example, you could position the passthrough window so that you could see and use items on your physical desk, view a computer monitor, or bring the view from your real-world window into your Session.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you use thumb controls to move or teleport in a location, the passthrough window moves with you. If you physically move in your real-world space, the passthrough window remains anchored in place.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Only you can see your passthrough window.
