Though the Oculus Quest 2 is fun to play on your own, it’s even better if other people can see your activity. For this to happen, you’ll need to cast the Oculus Quest 2 to a TV.

TV Requirements
If you’re hoping to cast the content from your VR headset onto the TV for others to watch, you’ll need to first make sure you’ve got the right type of TV. Unfortunately, not every TV is compatible with casting. To cast the Oculus Quest 2 to the TV, you will need a Smart TV that is connected to the same Wi-Fi as your Quest 2, or a TV that has Chromecast installed.
How to Cast Oculus Quest 2 to the TV
There are two different methods you can use to cast the Oculus Quest 2 to your TV.
From the Quest 2
If you have the required TV type and you follow these steps, you can cast your Quest 2 to the TV from the headset:
- Turn on both the TV and the Quest 2
- Ensure that both are connected to the same Wi-Fi
- Press the Oculus button on your Quest 2 to bring up the home menu
- Click “Share” in the bottom-right corner
- Once the Sharing Menu is open, click “Cast”
- When “Cast From This Headset” pops up, find your TV in the list and click it
- Click “Next”
- The Quest 2 screen should now be reflected on your TV
From the Oculus App on Your Phone
The second method to cast the Quest 2 to the TV is through using the Oculus app on your phone:
- Turn on both the TV and the Quest 2
- Ensure that both are connected to the same Wi-Fi
- Open the Oculus app on your phone
- Tap the “Cast” icon in the upper right corner
- Tap the arrow to the right of where it shows “This Phone”
- When “Cast To” pops up at the bottom of the screen, tap on your TV in the list (or find it in “other devices”)
- Tap “Start”
Using either method, you can cast your Oculus Quest 2 to your television, allowing your family or friends to experience the game with you.
