How to Cast to TV on a Meta (Oculus) Quest 2

Gaming with Meta Quest 2 is fun, but you might be tired of solo adventures. If that’s the case, you can share your experiences on TV. This way, you can take down enemies and explore enchanting worlds with your friends.

Coming up is a step-by-step guide on how to cast Oculus Quest 2 on your TV.

How to Cast the Quest 2 to a TV

1. Make sure your Oculus Quest 2 and TV use the same Wi-Fi connection.
2. Press the “Oculus” button on your right-touch controller.
   
3. From the “Home” menu, select the “Share” option.
   
4. Click on “Casting.”
   
5. A pop-up window will appear, and from here, select your TV and click “Next.”
   

You can now enjoy your Oculus Quest 2 games and experiences on a big screen, with others able to see what you’re experiencing in VR.
