Put your headset on and press on your controller to open the universal menu.
Select Sharing then select Cast.

Select Done.

Cast to your phone or Chromecast device

Open the Oculus app on your phone.
Select in the top right of your screen.
Under Cast From, select the headset you'd like to cast from.

Tap Start at the bottom of your screen, put your headset on and accept the in-VR prompt to start casting.

Stop casting

Press on your controller to open the universal menu.
