Can you project what you see on the headset only Oculus Quest to another screen? For example, if I am playing Beat Saber, can I project my view to TV so that family can watch? Or to a Chromecast/Alex/similar tech?



Yes, you can cast to the phone or to a chromecast (which still needs the phone).

However, the stream is delayed quite a bit so we do this with the TV muted -- otherwise the experience in VR is annoying (especially with music games like Beat Saber).

You could perhaps work around that by using some good isolating head phones, but then it would be impossible to have a conversation between the folks on the couch and the person in VR. (in which case, why are you streaming to the TV then?).


Yes and no - unfortunately the individual apps have to allow it, and Beat Saber doesn't allow it yet. It works for other apps, though (with Chromecast).

I really don't know why Beat Saber doesn't allow it, it would make so much sense.


Casting has been enabled in Beat Saber since june: https://uploadvr.com/beat-saber-oculus-quest-casting/


Hm OK I didn't know, I was under the impression I tried it later than that, though.


Yes, it works with chromecast.
