\"Cast<\/p>\n

The Oculus\u00a0Quest 2 (now the \u201cMeta<\/a> Quest 2\u2033) is a great personal VR system you can use anywhere, but if you have friends and family in the room, why not share what you\u2019re seeing? Simply cast your Quest 2 onto a TV!<\/p>\n

Quest 2 Casting Requirements<\/h2>\n

In order to cast your Quest 2 to a TV, you need to have a few things in place first. The most important thing is to have a supported casting device. Strictly speaking, the Quest 2 can be cast to a Google Chromecast<\/a>, Google Home Hub, NVIDIA Shield, and NVIDIA Shield TV.<\/p>\n

That sounds like a short list, but any Chromecast-compatible streaming device<\/a> should work. Many smart TVs are compatible with Chromecast casting or have a Chromecast built-in. If you don\u2019t have a compatible TV or TV-connected device, you can still cast your Quest 2 to a phone using the official app, then simply connect it to a large screen using an HDMI adapter.<\/p>\n

Apart from having a compatible casting device, your Quest 2 and TV must both be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re ready with both of these requirements, then you have a choice of how to cast. You can do it directly from the headset, or start casting from the app instead. We\u2019ll cover both methods, starting with headset-based casting. We\u2019re using a Xiaomi Mi Box S with its built-in Chromecast for this tutorial, but you can use any device, like Google\u2019s\u00a0Chromecast with Google TV<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How to Connect Oculus Quest 2 to TV From the Headset<\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s how to cast to your TV from within VR:<\/p>\n

First, turn on your TV and\/or casting receiver and make sure they\u2019re connected to Wi-Fi. Then turn on your Quest 2 and put it on. Make sure your Quest 2 is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your casting receiver.<\/p>\n

Start your VR app of choice, then press the button on your right-hand controller to bring up the system quick menu.<\/p>\n

Select the share button on the app\u2019s card at the bottom left corner as shown here.<\/p>\n

\"Quest<\/p>\n

Now under \u201cCast From This Headset\u201d select your casting receiver.<\/p>\n

\"Quest<\/p>\n

Select next, and your Quest should be cast to the target device.<\/p>\n

\"Quest<\/p>\n

Simple enough, right? Now we\u2019ll look at how to do the same thing, but from within the Quest 2\u2019s mobile app.<\/p>\n

How to Connect Oculus Quest 2 to TV From the Mobile App<\/h2>\n

Assuming that you have the Oculus mobile app for iPhone<\/a> or Android<\/a> installed and that you\u2019ve logged in, here\u2019s how to start casting your VR experience to a TV.<\/p>\n

Turn on your TV and\/or casting receiver and make sure they\u2019re connected to Wi-Fi. Turn on your Quest 2. Make sure your Quest 2 is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your casting receiver.<\/p>\n

Now open the Oculus mobile app on your device. Tap the \u201ccast\u201d icon at the top right of your screen.<\/p>\n

\"Quest<\/p>\n

Select the headset you want to cast from.<\/p>\n

\"Quest<\/p>\n

By default, your phone will show as the casting target. Tap the dropdown menu.<\/p>\n

\"Quest<\/p>\n

Select \u201cOther Devices.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Quest<\/p>\n

Wait for the app to find valid casting targets on the network.<\/p>\n

\"Quest<\/p>\n

Now, select which device you want to cast to.<\/p>\n

\"Quest<\/p>\n

Tap \u201cStart,\u201d then put your headset on and confirm when prompted. That\u2019s all there is to it; you should now be casting to your device or TV.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
