Does anyone know exactly how the new Virtual Run feature in 4.06 beta and Zwift work together? Does the watch broadcast directly to the Zwift app? And ore specifically, does this mean one can bypass third party treadmill hardware such as Runn?

When will this feature come out for Virtual Bike? I use Zwift primarily for biking!!!
This is exactly why we've developed this App. The idea was to simplify the pairing process and allow users to connect one "sensor" to Zwift rather than multiple sensors.
You can do both. stryd can broadcast to both the 945 and the watch but in this case you don't need the virtual run app.
I have a nordictrack at home with a runn and don't need the app (I wouldn't r…
I'd like this for biking too so that zwift on my phone can pick up my hr data also.
I have a Forerunner 935 (thinking of upgrading or getting a new version with pay / Amazon music, or more preferably audible, which I guess is fodder for a separate forum) and I have an RDU pod and HRM strap. I have a footpod that doesn't seem to be working anymore (tried replacing batteries and using my old watch vivoactive). - can you tell I am a Garmin fanboy and have been for years? - in any case I would love to get the RDU feeding info to the watch and then seeing it all including heart rate in Zwift... Alas, I don't even see the activity profile for Virtual Run on my watch... Anyone able to guide me on why that is and what to do?
A little hint barry.janay:
This is the Forerunner 945 forum. You have a Forerunner 935...
Finally out in production and had a chance to try this out. And so far so good. No drop outs when using with aTV whereas I had quite a few when pairing my Stryd and HRM Dual separately.
Also, the pace on my watch (via Stryd) now matches the pace displayed on Zwift.
My one complaint is the inability to do a structured workout when in Virtual Run mode. The workout library or training calendar is not available.

Just for clarification, you mean a workout or scheduled workout from your Forerunner and not one that is already in Zwift?
Correct - once I start the Virtual Run activity I am unable to access my training calendar or workouts on the watch.
