How to cast Oculus Quest on your phone?
Casting Oculus Quest to a Roku TV is a little tricky, but that’s not the case with any other type of TV. You can easily cast Oculus Quest on any other TV. So if you have a TV and Chromecast device, use these devices, connect Oculus Quest / Quest 2 to your TV and enjoy your life.

The steps to cast the Oculus Quest headset to the phone are easy to understand. You just need to select the ‘This phone’ option instead of any other option as a casting target. We will describe the whole process of casting but before starting, make sure that your phone and your search headset are on the same wireless network. Here is the casting process:

- There is a cast icon in the upper right corner (next to the bell icon).
- Tap this icon.
- Select the search option.
- Go to the ‘Cast to’ menu and choose ‘This phone option’.
- Tap Start
Once you’ve completed this step successfully, it’s time to mirror your phone to the Roku TV.
What is screen mirroring?
Screen mirroring is a feature present on most phones. Screen Mirror lets you display your phone’s content on a nearby TV. This feature allows you to wirelessly replicate (mirror) the same screen of your mobile phone. With screen mirroring, you can display web pages, videos, audio, music, games, and basically everything on a bigger screen or Roku TV screen. When you screen mirror your phone (already cast with the Oculus Quest headset) to the Roku TV, you’re essentially casting Quest to the Roku TV.
How to use screen mirroring?
Using screen mirroring is not difficult. First, enable the screen mirroring feature from your phone. The next step is to request a connection from the phone to your best Roku TV screen. Confirm the request now. Once you approve the request, a secure connection is established. Now you can monitor your mobile screen on a Roku TV screen. You can also control the content displayed on your Roku TV screen from your mobile phone.
