turn your Meta Quest into a screen for ANYTHING. || Remote Desktop & HDMI on Quest Tutorial
Using 2D apps in the Meta Quest is a fantastic experience. It's still insane to me that I can just pull up a Netflix movie or scroll Instagram Reels on a 100" cinema screen in my bedroom, and then tap the side of my head to transport to an entirely new world. But it's got limits, I couldn't play Cyberpunk or edit a video in Final Cut on my Quest for example. In this video, I'll show you how to use just about anything that can output to a display in whatever screen you want on your Meta Quest headset, ranging from completely free, built-in options to a bit of extra hardware.

Quick heads up! This video was originally intended to be published in stereoscopic 3D/Spatial Video, and this idea was eventually scrapped due to many complications with how YouTube handles MV-HEVC Apple Spatial files out of Final Cut. This video may contain certain creative choices, such as cameras filming the screens or a lack of scale adjustments, that were intended to be viewed in a 3D environment.
