Virtual reality doesn't have to be a solo experience. By learning how to cast the Meta Quest 2 to TV, you can share your VR outings with family members, friends and other interested viewers.
The Meta Quest 2 (formerly referred to as Oculus Quest 2) is our 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 Meta Quest 2 also has access to an impressive library of games and apps, like Beat Saber, Golf+ and Resident Evil 4. (Here's our list of the best Meta Quest 2 games.) 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 Meta 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. Our favorite is the Chromecast with Google TV. It's got 4K UHD streaming with support for HDR and Dolby Vision, plus comes with the excellent Google TV interface. If you're looking to upgrade your TV at the same time, then check out our list of the best TVs with Chromecast.
