How to Cast Meta or Oculus Quest to a TV, PC, and Phone: A Step-by-Step Guide

Yes, you can cast your Meta or Oculus Quest headset to your TV, PC, or even a mobile phone. This is possible through the Meta Horizon mobile app or directly via the headset settings, and it is quite an easy thing to do. Meta/Oculus casting allows you to share your VR headset screen to an external display, and you can stop the casting at any time.

Meta / Oculus Casting: What You Should Know

While it is possible to cast your Oculus VR headset to another screen, both devices (the VR headset and the device you’re casting to) must be on the exact same Wi-Fi network. You can cast directly from the headset or use the mobile app. Once your view is shared, whatever you see through the VR headset will be replicated and shown on the device you are casting to in real-time.

How To Cast Oculus Quest To TV

1. Cast From Your Headset

Before starting, ensure the TV is on the same Wi-Fi network as the VR headset.

• Step One: From the headset’s universal menu, select Quick Controls (or the Camera/Sharing icon) and select Cast.

• Step Two: Select the device you want to cast your screen to—in this case, choose your TV model or Chromecast device from the list and click Next.

• Step Three: Check your TV to see if your VR screen is showing. If your settings are configured correctly, your VR view will appear there instantly.

Notes:

• Your TV must have Chromecast built-in, or you must attach a physical Chromecast device to an open HDMI port.

• If you don’t see the “Share” or “Cast” icon immediately on your headset panel, press the Oculus/Meta button on your right controller to open the main menu and look under the Camera or Quick Controls tab.

• Correction Note: While Meta Quest supports Google Cast (Chromecast) protocols, compatibility can occasionally vary depending on your TV model’s firmware.

2. Cast To Your TV From Your Phone

• Install the official Meta Horizon app (formerly the Meta Quest app) on your smartphone.

• Log into the app using the same Meta account tied to your VR headset.

• Step One: Open the app and tap the Cast icon in the upper-right corner (shown as a headset with a Wi-Fi symbol beside it).

• Step Two: If prompted, allow the app to search for local devices on your home network.

• Step Three: Under “Cast From,” select your headset, then under “Cast To,” select your TV device from the list and tap Start. You can stop the casting at any time.

How To Cast Oculus Quest To PC

Your PC must be on the same Wi-Fi network as your headset, and you will need a modern web browser like Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge installed.

• Step One: Launch your web browser on the computer and navigate to horizon.meta.com/casting (or [oculus.com/casting](https://oculus.com/casting), which will automatically redirect you).

• Step Two: Log into your Meta/Oculus account using your credentials, then put on your headset.

• Step Three: Press the Oculus/Meta button on your right controller to open the universal menu. Select Camera (or Quick Controls) and choose Cast.

• Step Four: Select Computer/Web as the device you want to cast your VR headset to, then tap on Connect/Next.

How To Cast Oculus Quest To Phone

Your phone must be a smartphone with Bluetooth enabled and connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Meta / Oculus Quest.

• Step One: Open the Meta Horizon app on your phone and tap on the Casting icon in the top right. You will see your active headset listed on the network; tap the one you want to cast from.

• Step Two: If you cannot find your headset, tap Other Devices to prompt a fresh search of available hardware on your local network.

• Step Three: Once the headset is selected, choose This Phone as the target, tap the Start button, and the stream will begin.

Notes:

• If you open another app, minimize the window, or lock your phone screen while casting, the stream will automatically disconnect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can You Cast From Oculus Quest 2 To a Mobile Phone?

Yes, Oculus casting works seamlessly on phones (via the Meta Horizon mobile app), computers (via a web browser), and compatible TVs (with Google Cast/Chromecast built-in). While you can initiate phone casting directly from the mobile app, casting to a PC browser is started from within the headset’s menu.

How Do I Stop Casting My Meta Quest to a TV, Phone, or PC?

It is quite simple—return to the casting menu on the mobile app or within your headset’s quick settings panel, then select Stop Casting. If you are streaming to a mobile phone, simply closing or leaving the app will stop the casting automatically.

How To Troubleshoot Oculus Casting Not Working

Often, simply restarting your Meta Quest headset and your receiving device can fix baseline casting issues. Ensure that both devices are running on the exact same Wi-Fi frequency (for example, pinning both to the 5GHz band instead of one on 2.4GHz and the other on 5GHz). Finally, if casting to a PC, make sure you are logged into the exact same Meta account on your web browser as the one active on your VR headset.
