Can I show what's in the headset on a screen?
Yes. A Quest 3S can cast to a TV, browser, or Fire TV so the class can watch. What to check if it fails.
For: Instructors and IT staff
Yes — a Quest 3S headset can cast to a TV, a browser window, or a streaming device, so the rest of the class can watch what the learner sees. Which option works best depends on your network.
What is casting?
Casting mirrors the headset display onto a second screen in real time. The learner keeps wearing the headset and moving through the sim; everyone else watches the mirrored feed on the TV or screen. Nothing about the learner's experience changes — casting only adds an audience.
What are the casting options?
Three broad paths cover most classrooms:
- Cast to a TV using a Chromecast or similar streaming dongle plugged into the TV.
- Cast to a browser window on a computer connected to the same network.
- Cast to a Fire TV device connected to the TV.
Each path needs the headset and the receiving device (TV, computer, or Fire TV) on the same Wi-Fi network.
What if our school network is locked down?
A locked-down or heavily filtered network is the most common reason casting fails. School networks often block the device discovery that casting depends on, even when both devices connect to Wi-Fi fine. If casting doesn't connect, that's the first thing to check with your IT team, not the headset.
Where do I find the full setup steps?
The full casting guide walks through setup for each option step by step, including what to check when a cast won't connect.
