How To Cast Oculus Quest 2 to TCL TV [Android and Roku OS]

Virtual Reality gaming has been around for a while but is now gaining a lot of popularity. One of the most popular virtual reality headsets is the Meta Quest 2, formally known as the Oculus Quest 2. Now with the Oculus Quest 2, you can play a handful of games either in single-player mode or in multiplayer mode either with people online or with your own friends.

Since the Meta Quest 2 is a standalone device that has its own OS and storage built into it, many people don’t find it necessary to connect it to cast to the TV. However, if you are someone that plans onscreen recording or for that matter even streaming your gameplay to platforms like Twitch, YouTube, or Facebook Gaming, you might want to connect and cast your Quest 2 VR headset to the TV. And if you are someone that owns a TCL Android or TCL Roku TV, here’s how to connect Oculus Quest 2 to TCL TV.

How To Cast Oculus Quest 2 To TCL Smart TV

Before we begin, you can easily use either an Android-powered TCL smart TV or a RokuOS powered TCL smart TV. Either way, the method or steps to cast your Quest 2 VR headset to the TV is the same. So you don’t have to worry about it. The only thing that you need to ensure is that your Quest 2 headset and your TCL smart TV should be connected to the same wifi network.
