The Oculus Quest 2 is a great personal virtual reality system you can use anywhere. However, if you have friends and family in the room, you can share what you are seeing by casting your Quest 2 onto a TV.

Quest 2 Casting Requirements

In order to cast your Quest 2 to a TV, you need a couple of things in place first. The most important thing is to have a supported casting device. The Quest 2 can be cast to a Google Chromecast, NVIDIA Shield, Google Home Hub, and NVIDIA Shield TV.

That may sound like a shortlist, but any Chromecast-compatible streaming device should work. A lot of smart TVs are compatible with Chromecast casting or have a Chromecast built-in.

If you don't 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, according to How to Geek.

Aside from having a compatible casting device, your Quest 2 and TV must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. If you are ready with both of these requirements, then you have a choice of how to cast your VR headset.

You can do it from the headset itself, or you can cast through the app. For headset-based casting, you can use a Xiaomi Mi Box S with its built-in Chromecast, but any device will do, like Google's Chromecast with Google TV, according to Business Insider.
