What you need
Steps
Your phone and open the Meta Horizon app. Sign in with the same Meta account that is set up on your Quest 3.
Tap the headset tab at the bottom of the screen and select your Meta Quest 3 from the list of devices.
Tap Cast. The headset view should appear on your phone within a few seconds.
To cast to a TV, check that the TV supports Google Cast. If it does not, skip to the phone bridge steps below.
Put the headset and the TV on the same Wi-Fi network. Guest networks and 5 GHz versus 2.4 GHz splits can block the connection.
Put on the headset, open the camera app from the main menu, and select the Cast icon in the toolbar.
Pick your TV from the list of devices. The headset screen should appear on the TV.
If the TV is missing from the list, cast to your phone first using the Meta Horizon app.
On the phone, open quick settings, tap Screen cast or Cast, and choose the TV. The headset view now reaches the TV through the phone.
Tips and common mistakes
Keep the headset awake during casting, since it stops mirroring when it goes to sleep.
A weak Wi-Fi signal causes lag and dropped frames, so stay close to the router.
Some TVs need screen mirroring enabled in their input or source menu before they appear in the list.
Casting drains the headset battery faster, so plug it in for long sessions.
Questions
Why does my TV not appear in the Quest 3 cast list?
Most often the TV and headset are on different networks or the TV lacks Google Cast. Cast to your phone first, then mirror the phone screen to the TV from quick settings.
Do I need a Chromecast to cast the Quest 3?
Not always. A TV with built-in Google Cast works directly. Otherwise use the phone bridge method or a Chromecast device plugged into the TV.
Can I cast to a phone and a TV at the same time?
The headset casts to one target at a time. Use the phone as the bridge if you want the picture on a TV without a direct connection.
