Casting your HakoBio VR app from a Meta Quest headset to a phone, computer, or TV is a great way to share your VR experience. If you encounter issues, follow these steps to quickly resolve common problems.
Casting to a Mobile Device or Tablet
If your VR stream isn’t showing on your phone or tablet:
- Ensure you are logged into the same Meta account on both your headset and the mobile device.
- Verify that both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
- Restart your headset and the device you are casting to.
- Check that both devices have the latest software updates installed.
- If issues persist, consider restarting your Wi-Fi router.
Casting to an Internet Browser
If casting to a browser isn’t working:
- Make sure you are signed in with the same Meta account as on your headset at oculus.com/casting.
- Ensure your computer is on the same network as your headset.
Casting to a Chromecast-Enabled Device
For TVs or displays with Chromecast functionality:
- Verify that Chromecast is enabled on your device.
- Ensure your headset and casting device are on the same Wi-Fi band (5 GHz or 6 GHz is recommended for smoother performance).
- Check that the date and time settings on your Chromecast are correct.
- Compatibility may vary by TV model; some devices may not fully support casting.
Casting via Meta Quest Link
If you’re using Meta Quest Link to cast to a computer:
- Ensure Meta Quest Link is set up properly and your computer is turned on and connected to the same network.
- If your headset struggles to connect to Wi-Fi, consider using network diagnostic tools to identify connectivity issues.
Known Issues
- Some corporate, hotel, or mesh networks may restrict casting due to security settings. If you encounter issues, try switching to a different network.
- TVs with built-in smart features may work, but compatibility is not guaranteed.
- Casting and recording at the same time may affect performance or cause interruptions.
- Casting increases battery consumption and may slightly reduce headset performance.
The casted view may have lower resolution and slight delays compared to the VR experience inside the headset, due to internet streaming. For the best results, ensure a strong and stable internet connection when casting
