Watching VR gameplay on the big screen is a great way to share the experience with friends and family. While the Meta Quest mobile app offers a built-in cast function, many users wonder if there's a better way to cast directly to a smart TV. Good news: there are several easy options available. Below are six simple and effective ways to cast your Meta Quest 3 or 3S to a TV. Some are easier than others, so read through them to find the best fit for your setup.
Method 1: Use Chromecast Built-In (Easiest Option!)
If your smart TV has Chromecast built in, this is by far the simplest method.
Steps:
-
Check TV Compatibility: Make sure your TV supports Chromecast built-in. Most newer models from Samsung, LG, Sony, and others do.
-
Connect to Same Wi-Fi: Ensure both your Meta Quest 3 and your smart TV are on the same Wi-Fi network.
-
Open the Quick Menu: In your headset, swipe down from the top of the screen.
-
Select "Cast": Tap the "Cast" option.
-
Choose Your TV: Select your TV from the list of available devices.
Your VR gameplay will now appear on your TV.
Method 2: Use a Web Browser on Your Smart TV
If your TV has a built-in web browser, this method is a handy alternative.
Steps:
-
Open the Browser: Launch the browser app on your smart TV (e.g., Samsung Internet, LG Web Browser).
-
Visit the Casting Page: Enter the URL
https://www.meta.com/castingorcast.meta.com. -
Connect from Your Quest: Open the Quick Menu > "Cast" > "Connect to Browser". A code will appear.
-
Enter the Code: Type this code into the web page on your TV.
Your headset's screen will now be mirrored to the TV.
Method 3: Use Amazon Fire Stick or Fire TV Cube + AirScreen App
If you own a Fire Stick or Fire TV Cube, you can use the AirScreen app for casting.
Steps:
-
Install AirScreen: Open the Amazon Appstore, search for "AirScreen," and install it.
-
Launch AirScreen: Open the app and confirm your Fire device and Quest 3 are on the same Wi-Fi.
-
Cast from Quest: Open the Quick Menu on your Quest 3 and select "Cast".
-
Select Your Fire Device: Choose the AirScreen option from the list.
Your Quest 3 should now be casting through your Fire device to the TV.
Method 4: Use a Google Chromecast Dongle
If your TV doesn't have Chromecast built in, use a Chromecast dongle.
Steps:
-
Set Up the Dongle: Plug Chromecast into your TV’s HDMI port and power it up.
-
Use Google Home App: Use the app on your phone to complete setup.
-
Connect Quest to Chromecast: On Quest 3, go to Quick Menu > "Cast" > choose the Chromecast device.
You should now see your VR content on your TV screen.
Method 5: Use the Meta Horizon App + Phone or Tablet
This option uses your mobile device as a middleman.
Steps:
-
Install Meta Horizon App: Download it from the App Store or Google Play.
-
Connect Your Devices: Make sure your Quest 3 and mobile device are on the same Wi-Fi. Sign into your Meta account.
-
Enable Casting in the App: Tap the "Cast" button inside the app.
-
Mirror Your Mobile Screen: Use AirPlay (iOS) or Miracast (Android) to mirror your phone/tablet to the TV.
Your phone will display your Quest screen, and the TV will mirror it.
Method 6: Use a Laptop + HDMI Cable
This is the most wired but reliable method.
Steps:
-
Connect Laptop to TV: Plug an HDMI cable between your laptop and TV.
-
Set TV Input: Use the remote to switch to the correct HDMI input.
-
Install Meta Quest Link: Download the software from Meta’s official site.
-
Connect Your Quest: Plug in your Quest 3 via USB and launch the Quest Link software.

Start Casting: Within the software, look for the cast or mirror option.
Now your Quest screen will appear on your TV through your laptop.
