The meeting did not specify how many jobs would be cut as a result, but the three people said "hundreds" of Pico staff were expected to be affected globally.
In China, it has become the leading VR producer by total shipments and globally it trails only Meta.
But two of the people said ByteDance had pared back efforts to develop Pico as a brand in recent months as the outlook dimmed.
ByteDance said last month it remained committed to the VR industry in the long term following media reports that it planned to gradually wind down Pico.
