Believe it or not, the Meta Quest 2 can be more than just a lone gaming experience.

While you're having fun in VR with your Quest 2 you can share your view on your TV so others can watch the fun unfolding.

Some of the best Quest 2 experiences can be even more fun when others are watching. Even if they're just laughing as you fail to take on hordes of the undead or missing your timings in Beat Saber. If you're taking turns to play it can really add to the experience if people can watch what's happening when it's your turn too.

Casting your view from the Quest 2 to your TV is fairly straightforward too. Though you will need a Google Chromecast device or a casting-capable TV. If you can already cast video from your phone to your TV then you're set.

Here's how to cast your Meta Quest 2 to your TV so others can watch you play easily.

As well as your TV you'll see there are other options for casting your Quest 2 as well. You can choose to cast to a PC instead and watch in a browser. You'll need to visit the Oculus site and log in beforehand. But this gives you the option to cast on a desktop or laptop rather than your television.

  1. Click the Oculus button on the right-hand controller.
  2. From the menu click the share button.
  3. Click the cast button and click to stop casting.
  4. Alternatively, just hold the power button on the headset and click to power it off.
