Casting Oculus Quest 2 to your Hisense Roku TV can be a great way to share your VR experiences with others or enjoy them on a larger screen. It’s also a convenient way to play VR games or watch VR videos if your TV is already set up in a comfortable viewing area.
How To Cast Oculus Quest 2 To Hisense Roku TV
To cast Oculus Quest 2 to your Hisense Roku TV, you’ll need to first make sure that both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Then, follow these steps:

That’s all. Your Oculus Quest 2 will now begin casting to your Hisense Roku TV. You can use the Oculus Quest 2 controller to navigate and control the content that is being cast.
It’s important to note that the casting feature on Oculus Quest 2 only works with TVs that have Chromecast built-in. This means that if your Hisense Roku TV doesn’t have Chromecast built-in, you won’t be able to use this method to cast your Oculus Quest 2 content to it.
If your Hisense Roku TV does have Chromecast built-in, you may need to update the firmware on your TV to ensure that it’s compatible with the Oculus Quest 2. To do this, follow these steps:
- First, on your Hisense Roku TV, go to the home screen and select the “Settings” option from the menu.
- Next, select the “System” option from the Settings menu.

If you’re still having trouble casting Oculus Quest 2 to your Hisense Roku TV, there are a few things you can try.
First, make sure that both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network and that the network is stable and fast enough to support casting.

Another potential solution is to use a different casting method, such as using the Oculus app on your smartphone to cast to your Hisense Roku TV. To do this, follow these steps:

In addition to casting your Oculus Quest 2 content to your Hisense Roku TV, you can also use the Oculus app on your smartphone to access and control your Oculus Quest 2 remotely.
This can be useful if you want to use your smartphone as a virtual reality controller, or if you want to use your smartphone to access and control VR content while someone else is using the Oculus Quest 2 headset.
