The Oculus Quest 2 is an incredible VR system that can be used anywhere, but if you want to share the experience with your friends and family, you can do so by casting the Quest 2 onto your TV.
Oculus Quest 2 Casting
To properly cast your Quest 2 to your TV, you first need to have a few things in place. The most important thing is to have a casting device. The Quest 2 can be cast to a Google Chromecast, NVIDIA Shield, Google Home Hub, and NVIDIA Shield TV, according to The Gamer.
That may seem like a shortlist, but any streaming device compatible with Chromecast should do the trick. Chromecast casting can be done on a lot of smart TVs.
If you do not have a compatible TV or a TV-connected device, you can still cast the Quest 2 to a phone using the official app. Just connect it to a screen via an HDMI adapter.

Aside from having a compatible casting device, your Oculus Quest 2 and TV must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
If you are ready with both of these requirements, you can choose how to cast your VR. You can do it directly from the headset or start casting from the app instead.
You can use Google Chromecast with Google TV, Xiaomi Mi Box S with built-in Chromecast, or any other Chromecast compatible device, according to Business Insider.
