Holographic remoting without local preview

[qian256]

Describe the problem

When Unity app is remoting to Hololens 2, the rendering for HoloLens is also copied and shown in the Unity app. It looks like current MRTK or Unity XR WSA api does not allow the option to disable this preview. It is however possible with lower api like app written in cpp/winrt, documented here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/mixed-reality/develop/platform-capabilities-and-apis/holographic-remoting-create-host#preview-streamed-content-locally.

Describe the solution you'd like

An option to disable local preview when remoting to HoloLens.

@keveleigh I assume this would really be a feature request for Unity/the Unity XR plugins right?

[keveleigh]

Yeah, this sounds like a feature request for Unity.

@qian256 Is this using in-editor remoting or app remoting?
