Chromecast is leaving Meta Quest devices, and we don't know why

VR is great, but it’s not the best for social situations if you can’t cast your feed to another device. This is why Meta Quest devices came with Chromecast compatibility. This allowed you to display what you see on a large display so that other people could join in on the fun. However, for some reason, Chromecast support is leaving Meta Quest devices.

Google Chromecast is one of the easiest ways to cast to your devices. It comes bundled with a ton of devices, and your smart TV is most likely compatible with it. This means that there was a high chance that you would have been able to easily cast to it. Also, casting using Chromecast only involves a few taps/clicks to start.

But, Meta Quest devices are losing Chromecast support

This is another case where a company gets rid of a feature that everyone is enjoying for seemingly no reason. Android Central reached out for comment, but Meta has yet to respond.

As per the report, Meta Quest users are losing support for the feature. This is no bug, as the company also confirmed that it’s dropping the feature. In a note on the official help page, Meta says that “Chromecast is not fully supported with Meta Quest.” We’re not sure what the company means by “not fully compatible”. We don’t know if it’s now only available in certain regions or on certain Quest models.

You can still cast using your Meta Quest… but it’s a hassle

This doesn’t mean that you can’t cast anymore; it just means that, if you want to cast, you’ll need to jump through a few hoops. If you’re one of the unlucky souls who lost Chromecast support, you’ll need to go to the Universal menu. There, go to the Camera section and go to Cast.

Select the device you’re casting to (computer or Meta Quest app on your phone). At that point, you’ll then need to cast the feed from your phone to your Chromecast device.
