The Meta (previously Oculus) Quest and Quest 2 are two of the hottest all-in-one VR systems on the market. One of the great things about them is that you can easily cast what you’re seeing in VR to a TV, monitor, or phone screen without taking off the headset. Read on to learn how to do this.
How To Cast a Meta Quest to a TV Right From the Headset

- Make sure your TV or monitor is on and connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your headset.
- On the main control panel in your headset, select Share
- In the Share menu, select Cast
- Select your TV or monitor from the list of available devices
- You’ll get a notification once your TV or monitor is connected. You can now see what you’re doing in VR on your TV or monitor. You will also see a red dot in hindsight on your TV or monitor that will indicate that a stream or recording is in progress.
