I have a new 70" Vizio TV and new 43” Vizio TV that both have built-in Chromecast. When I send a cast from Meta Oculus Quest 2 my TV recognizes the cast and looks like its starts to load on the TV screen. Shortly after the screen goes completely black and the Quest 2 says that was an "unknown streaming error". The Quest 2 has no issues connecting to other Chromecast devices, but for some reason my new Vizio TVs give me an error over and over again.
Both devices are Chromecast compatible
Both devices are connected to the same 5G WiFi network
I've powered down both devices and switched off WiFi
I've rebooted my wireless router and TVs
Vizio 70” Model: M700Q7-J03 / Firmware: 1.520.24.2-2
Vizio 43” Model: M43Q6M-K04 / Firmware: 1.520.24.2-2
To troubleshoot, I purchased a standalone Chromecast HD, plugged it into my Vizio 70” TV and it connected exactly how it is supposed to with the external Chromecast. However, the built-in Chromecast maintains the same errors.
In addition, I went as far as purchasing a new eero mesh internet router to troubleshoot and make sure it’s not “a router issue”. Vizio TV and Quest 2 are both connected to the same wifi. Vizio TV still says there is an error connecting thru “built-in Chromecast” when casting from the Meta Quest 2.
The direct response from Chromecast (Google) was:
*In this case, it does sound like the issue is isolated to Vizio's Chromecast built-in. If you can, make sure the Vizio TV is up-to-date on its firmware and also factory reset it. / Chromecast built-in is open-source software and Vizio would have modified the code in some way*
The direct response from Vizio customer support was:
*Because YouTube is casting to the tv then it would be an issue with the device manufacturer, I would recommend contacting meta for further assistance with that.*
I’m able to cast directly to “Built-in Chromecast” on my Vizio TVs. Just not able to cast the Meta Quest 2.
Why won't Quest 2 cast to a the built-in Chromecast on Vizio TVs ?

Yes. Restarting the headset was the first thing I did.
Yes. All of my devices are running the latest updated software.

I just clicked on support team. There is no option to troubleshoot "casting" from Quest 2 to TV or Quest 2 to Chromecast. Please advise.

Restarting everything doesn't work. I can cast to my phone fine. Then mirroring on my fire stick from my phone to the tv but I can't cast from my headset after selecting the TV. Throws a casting error.

No, Meta didn't solve the problem.
I hope this threat can help someone tho.
I purchased a plug-in Chromecast for my Vizio TV as a work around.
Meta still needs to fix their code in order to have Quest 2 connect to Vizio TV's built-in Chromecast feature.
