Hey there Mrred60! We understand you are having issues with casting your headset to your TV. No worries we can most definitely help you out with that. In order to start casting, a few requirements must be met:
- Both the headset and the receiving device need to be connected to the same local area network
- Best practice is to have the headset connected through 5Ghz, though 2.4Ghz may still work at limited quality
- when casting to a computer or mobile app, both the headset and the device displaying the cast must be logged into the same account
- This limits secondary accounts from casting to the mobile app, as a secondary account cannot be connected to an app
You can cast to your computer, phone, or supported Chromecast device or TV. Before attempting to pair with a device for casting, ensure both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network. Keep in mind that some apps may not allow casting.
- On your computer, go to oculus.com/casting with Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge and log in to your Oculus account.
- Put your headset on and press
on your controller to open the universal menu
- Select Sharing then select Cast.
- Select Computer then select Next.
- If you don't see your computer listed, make sure that your headset and computer are on the same Wi-Fi network.
- Select Done.
TO cast from phone or Chromecast device:
- Open the Oculus app on your phone.
- Select
in the top right of your screen.
- Under Cast From, select the headset you'd like to cast from.
- Make sure it says Connected under your listed headset.
- Under Cast To, select This Phone or the Chromecast device you want to use.
- Tap Start at the bottom of your screen, put your headset on and accept the in-VR prompt to start casting.
