How to Cast Meta Quest 3 to TV (Works on ANY TV)

Intro - 00:00
If you’re new to the Meta Quest world and you’re excited to start using your device and sharing your VR experiences with others, knowing how to cast on meta quest 3 is essential.

As mentioned in previous meta quest casting videos, Meta Quest headsets are unfortunately (at the time of filming this video) only compatible with Chromecast devices.

What this means is if your smart TV does not use Chromecast by default, you will need to get an external chromecast device, which I’ve linked below, in order to be able to cast your device.

For some reason this small, but very important detail is not abundantly made clear anywhere on the internet, not even Meta’s website, which I find a bit frustrating from a general consumer's perspective, but at least there’s a solution available. And an external Chromecast device is it.

In short, the easiest way to tell if your smart TV uses Chromecast by default is if after following my instructions in this video, you are not able to see your TV as a casting option through your Meta Quest 3 device.

If that happens, picking up a Chromecast is next on your to do list. You can pick up a Chromecast device in your respective country using these links here:

The upside to buying an external Chromecast device is it gives you the Google experience no matter the television and regardless of whether Chromecast is your preferred Streaming/casting service, you can always unplug it and use your smart TV’s default settings if you prefer.

The main point is it provides a how to cast meta quest 3 solution regardless of which TV you have and it can be taken with you everywhere you go.

Who knows, you might want to sneak a VR workout in during your travels. Portability is just another great use case if you ask me.

How to Connect a Meta Quest 3 to a TV - 01:42
Now for the part we’ve all been waiting for, how to connect Meta Quest 3 to TV.

Here’s what you need to do:
If you’re going the external Chromecast device route, make sure your device is all set up and plugged into the TV.

Next you’ll need to turn on your Meta Quest 3 and place it on your head.

Once the system has booted up, make sure the main user panel is visible and select the little pink camera icon.

After selecting the pink camera icon,, you’ll see another menu containing all available casting options for your Meta Quest device.

Your options will include mobile app, computer & if your chromecast has been set up correctly, it will appear as an option as well.

If your TV already supports Chromecast, “Smart TV” will appear as a 3rd option for you.

From here you’ll either want to select the “Chromecast” or “Smart TV” option and your Quest 3 should start casting to your smart TV.

And that’s it!

To stop casting your Meta Quest 3, simply head back to the casting menu via the little pink camera icon and select “Stop Casting” From the menu.
