Screencasting with Oculus devices

It is easy to screencast from the Oculus Quest or Go to other devices while on virtual reality. See detailed instruction, but in short, when with the Oculus device on, press the Oculus button on the controller, to get the menu, and select:

• “Cast to phone”. You’ll receive a notification in your phone to start receiving the screencast.
• “Cast to computer”. You can point your Chrome or Edge to https://oculus.com/casting , enter with your Oculus account, and start receiving the screencast.
• “Cast to Chromecast”. Select the Chromecast device you want to cast to, and that’s all.

You can also cast from your phone (once you’re receiving a cast from the Oculus device) to a Chromecast.
