Virtual reality doesn’t have to be a solo experience. By learning how to cast Oculus Quest 2 to TV, you can share your VR outings with an audience. Family members, friends and other interested viewers can watch as you play a VR game or take on a VR workout like Supernatural.

Oculus Quest 2 (now referred to as Quest 2 by its parent company Meta) is TG’s choice for the best VR headset. It sports a sleek design, intuitive controllers and strong built-in audio — all for a fairly affordable price.

The Oculus Quest 2 also has access to an impressive library of games and apps, like Beat Saber, Golf+ and Resident Evil 4. But if you ever find yourself feeling a little lonely while using a VR headset, you’re not alone. Many users want to share their gaming and fitness triumphs.

Luckily, there is a way! The Oculus Quest 2 has a handy feature that allows you to cast to a television. You will need a Chromecast device or a TV with built-in Chromecast capabilities.
