How to Cast Oculus Quest 2 to TV Without Chromecast

Here's how to cast Oculus Quest 2 to TV Without Chromecast.
VR Oculus casting is a pretty simple task but to do it without Chromecast you must have a Smart TV that uses Android.
Unfortunately, Chrome is the only software that supports Ouclus Casting which is why you either need to have a TV that uses Android itself OR buy a Chromecast device to override your TV’s native smart TV capabilities to get the job done.
Annoying, yes but until VR & AR really hit mainstream adoption, we aren’t going to see Oculus casting as a general feature on smart TVs anytime soon.
The reason my TV in this tutorial shows up in my headset’s casting menu is because the TV uses Android Natively.

Hopefully this video will teach you how to cast from quest 2 efficiently, I've tried to make it a simple and straight forward as possible so let me know you're thoughts in the comments!
I honestly love what Facebook (or Meta) have done with the Oculus Quest 2 so far. by changing their name to Meta it's clear that I have big plans for the virtual word and I'm really excited to see how it all goes.
I've slowly been adding more games to my headset as I go. I'm trying not to get too obsessed with the damn thing and just stick to app that help me take a breather from my regular work day. I must say though some of the game guides in the Quest app store look pretty cool though so it is tempting!
Let me know in the comments what your favourite Oculus Quest 2 game is at the moment as well as what other type of Oculus videos I should make. Perhaps my next video should be about "How to Quest 2 Cast to Phone" then I'll have a PC, TV & Mobile phone tutorial for this!
Oh yeah, if you missed my PC tutorial for Oculus Quest 2 you can find it here: • How to Cast Oculus Que...
Lastly, I also love know where my viewers found me on the internet so if you found me by searching for any of the following:
- quest 2 casting to samsung tv
- quest cast to smart tv
- how to cast oculus quest 2 to roku tv
I'd love to hear from you in the comments too!
All the best on your VR journeys!

Thank you so much for this!

[@meta_junkie]

No probs. Glad I could help

[@EndomouEnd]

apparently the quest 2 doesn't support other types of casting as my tv uses miracast. The quest 2 only uses chromecast so any tv with other types of casting will not appear on the quest 2 cast feature.

[@meta_junkie]

Good to know! That would explain why some people have commented that they are having troubles! I will pin your comment for others who are having the same issue.

[@kingslaphappy1533]

Yes..this all seemed too easy. Did Not work without chromecast device!

How to do on roku tv

[@sirb_ryan2nd362]

Maybe I'm late, but I cast to phone then mirror to Firestick

[@sleeper43]

Here is an interesting question. If I am watching a 3d movie with the bigscreen app and cast to a non 3d tv how will it look?

[@vrplayer5379]

Underated honestly new sub and also what would happen if you stoped casting? How would you get back to regular tv?

[@meta_junkie]

Thanks man! Yeah so if you stop casting it will just go back to your regular smart TV menu.

[@aidenomamojasa6201]

Thanks

[@RicardoFajardo-fh5oe]

I can’t find the casting button

[@Rob-ed9en]

Any idea on why mine stops casting after about 30secs to a minute?

[@TrueGamer232]

can the oculus quest 2 cast to a roku tv cuz thats the tv i have when i press cast, the options i see are the Oculus app and computer. I dont see a tv option

[@meta_junkie]

Unfortunately, no. Quest 2 is only comparable with chrome cast which means you either need a tv that runs on android software by default OR you have a chrome cast. I have a tutorial similar to this for the external chrome cast set up. You can find it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/maWoY2amfpaoodU

Picking up a Chrome cast for my Samsung Q90T tv today.

@@meta_junkie Yes it does work, it sometimes freezes up (the video on the TV), I have very good internet (1gb a second) The Chromecast is maybe 2 feet from my Nighthawk AX2700 Router. Don't know if it's the head set or Chromecast.

[@edyoung6573]

[@michaelnoardo3315]

i can only cast from the mobile APP to my ChromeCast, from my Quest 2 that Red arrow is not present :(

[@koozer7261]

What input do you need to change on your tv ?

[@meta_junkie]

You don't need to change the input. If your TV doesn't use Android then you will need to use a chrome cast to do it. I made a tutorial on that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/maWoY2amfpaoodU

[@blade5239]

On my metaquest 2 when I go to press cast I only have meta quest mobile app and computer and kitchen display there is no TV or living room option. So please if you can update your video to see the newer version of the medical quest 2 that would be great.😅

[@meta_junkie]

I've made like 3 update videos since this one haha

[@ArtwellI]

tried to show my friend the guardian wall thing only to realize it doesn't show up on the other end :/

[@jenniferpratt8790]

Will this work on HD cast

[@meta_junkie]

No, it's only compatible with Chrome cast, If your TV doesn't use Android by default you will need to buy an external chrome cast device like the one I use in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/maWoY2amfpaoodU

[@meta_junkie]

TV Not showing up on your Oculus Quest 2? Try this option instead: kzbin.info/www/bejne/maWoY2amfpaoodU

[@fluffy_preacher]

I've got 3 smart tvs and 2 of them are Samsung which do not appear the only one that comes up is the vizio tv and all 3 are connected to the same network

[@adrianwilliams3213]

Same - seems Samsung using a different casting software.

[@bonelab1968]

Does Vizio work

[@meta_junkie]

Not sure what Vizio is. Is that a Smart TV operating system? Quest only works with Chrome cast so if you TV doesn't run on Android OS you'll need to buy an external chrome cast device.

[@CapnSaltine]

Those with LG tvs may still require Chromecast as many LG tvs are not compatible with Oculus Quest 2. I tried everything and spent hours trying to get my new LG tv to recognize Quest 2 when casting but nothing worked until I set up Chromecast.

[@meta_junkie]

Yes you are correct. My more up to date version of this video explains this. You can read more about it here: metajunkie.ai/how-to-cast-meta-quest-3-to-tv

[@babyjunior56]

Mine doesnt have my tv and my tv is a smart tv it just shows computer and phone...what do I do?

You need to watch the updated version. Heaps of people were saying the same thing and this is the reason: kzbin.info/www/bejne/maWoY2amfpaoodU

[@Skill_issue47]

Does anyone know how to do this on an LG smart tv

[@crberkel]

How do you get the app I don't have it

[@meta_junkie]

Are you referring to the Oculus App?

[@avoidrezy7830]

How can i connect with my lg tv?

[@meta_junkie]

Unfortunately the only way you will be able to do it is with an External Chromecast device like the one featured in this video I made: kzbin.info/www/bejne/maWoY2amfpaoodU Some Smart TVs operate on the Android operating system, which already incorporates Chromecast within the TV's functionalities, eliminating the need for an external device. However, if your TV operates on a system other than Android, an external Chromecast device will be necessary to enable casting from your headset to the TV.

[@jaynarennie3993]

I have a Philips TV and says something about a PIN. Any ideas?

[@meta_junkie]

In the headset or the television?

[@supergameovermanblanton2012]

ohh i need inter net

[@meta_junkie]

Lol. Duh!

[@redwulfredwulf1983]

What if living room tv isn’t an option?

[@meta_junkie]

It means your tv isn’t connected to your internet or your tv doesn't support casting.

[@meta_junkie]

@Tony Duran Sorry? I'm guessing you mean app not up? There is no oculus app needed for connection to the TV.

[@papitolindo5305]

Hi, WHERE THE TV NEEDS TO BE TO SEE THE OCULUS QUEST VIEWING?

[@cwbycopey1]

My VR don’t have that pink app for sharing

Yeah, what @0nux229 said.

Thanks for that!

[@meta_junkie]

Does yours run on Android?

[@threehitrick5470]

There’s a problem though on my VR there is no share app

[@meta_junkie]

It's now the little pink camera icon. They changed it since I made this video.

[@cappup12]

You need to note that you can not cast without chromecast.

[@meta_junkie]

Yeah, at the time of filming this I wasn't aware that Quest 2 is only supported by chrome cast and the TV in this video used Android as the OS so the TV was able to cast instantly from the get go. I have however made a new tutorial featuring chrome cast as the solution: kzbin.info/www/bejne/maWoY2amfpaoodU

[@assky15_]

Why does my meta quest 2 not show that "Sharing" Icon?

It now looks like a pink camera instead of the arrow. 👍
