Hi supports,
I am developing a Unity application with holographic remoting for HoloLens. In my use case, I need to capture single frame of Hololens during remoting.
Should I create a customized remote player app with the reference here: https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/windows/mixed-reality/develop/native/holographic-remoting-create-player and use some capturing APIs?
Or should I call the device portal API to capture frames here: https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/windows/mixed-reality/develop/advanced-concepts/device-portal-api-reference? I want to make seamless capturing without using the windows device portal GUI.

Hello, Welcome to Microsoft Q&A,
As far as I know Holographic Remoting does not support UWP's Media Capture APIs, and in Unity Editor, the project is run as a win32 app, which does not support WinRT APIs.
For Device Portal, if what you want is to capture a photo, then you can try the Device Portal REST API, but it should be noted that Device Portal is only applicable to the development environment. You can see this note in Using the Windows Device Portal - Mixed Reality | Microsoft Learn.
