Prerequisites

Before we dive into the casting process, let’s ensure you have the necessary ingredients:

• A Meta Quest 3 headset
• A compatible TV with HDMI input
• An HDMI cable (if using wired connection)
• A stable Wi-Fi network (if using wireless connection)

Methods for Casting

There are two primary methods for casting your Quest 3 to TV:

Wired Connection (HDMI)

For a lag-free and reliable connection, we recommend using an HDMI cable to directly connect your Quest 3 to your TV. Here’s how:

1. Connect the HDMI cable: Plug one end of the HDMI cable into the HDMI port on your Quest 3 and the other end into an available HDMI port on your TV.
2. Select the HDMI input: Use your TV’s remote to switch to the HDMI input corresponding to the port you connected the cable to.
3. Adjust display settings: On your Quest 3, go to "Settings" > "Display" and adjust the "Cast to TV" resolution and refresh rate to match your TV’s capabilities.

Wireless Connection (Air Link)

For a wire-free casting experience, you can utilize Air Link that streams your Quest 3 display over Wi-Fi. Follow these steps:

1. Enable Air Link: On your Quest 3, go to "Settings" > "Experimental Features" and enable "Air Link."
2. Connect to Wi-Fi: Ensure both your Quest 3 and TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
3. Pair devices: Open the Oculus app on your TV and pair it with your Quest 3 headset.
4. Start casting: Once paired, select "Cast" from the Quick Settings menu on your Quest 3 and choose your TV as the casting destination.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter any issues while casting, try these troubleshooting tips:

• Check connections: Ensure the HDMI cable (if wired) or Wi-Fi connection (if wireless) is secure and stable.
• Restart devices: Sometimes, a simple restart of your Quest 3 and TV can resolve casting problems.
• Update software: Make sure your Quest 3 and Oculus app are running the latest software updates.
• Adjust network settings: If using Air Link, optimize your Wi-Fi network for gaming by prioritizing traffic and reducing interference.
