Re-Enable Direct Casting to Chromecast

[DangerZoneDad]

My household has multiple Quest 2 devices. We use casting to Chromecast devices all the time. I personally use it to stream my Quest gameplay on Twitch and Facebook Live and have evangelized at least ten headset sales this way. My kids also use it to show off VR when their friends come over.

Your alternative solutions of casting to a mobile device or browser aren't good enough. This change has severely impacted our user experiences in a very negative way. We will not spend another dime on your platform or recommend your products unless this feature comes back.

@Ryanality Thanks God, Meta restored godlike Chromecast casting. It works properly, it's reliable! If you receive a lot of complains about streaming quality, hide Chromecast support option to experimental settings, but don't take it off.

What was the reason? The whole point of these threads is that casting to a phone or computer is NOT the best experience, that's why we were so angry. So why would you restore it and then still say the not best experience is the best experience lmao

There is no another way to direct stream on TV but Chromecast. Well, maybe Samsung SmartThings App for Samsung TV. We don't need to cast on the phone or PC usually, we need TV, so friends can see. You may also think about Miracast experimental support.

I would just like to say Thank you to Meta for re-enabling the cast to chromecast feature.  It means a lot to me and I’m thankful to all involved.

I really hope it's back, I'll be testing later today. Still blows my mind meta is still trying to recommend screen mirroring via the app as a more reliable option when in my experience it's terrible and isn't even worth using. Fingers crossed!

Can anyone confirm it’s back and working properly?

[Greenied1]

I downloaded the update today, restarted and then cast.  My chromecast immediately showed up and worked perfectly.  As it always did.

Anyone on Quest 3?

@Greenied1 So there’s a brand new update again? Probably to put Chromecast back as one of the options again
