Agreed this is super dumb! Straight BS

Same problems as stated. I'm amazed it still hasn't been addressed yet. Please fix this so I can cast from a secondary account.

Please fix this. So annoying to find a way of casting with a chromecast. This is not a fix...please allow secondary account to cast

I dont know why people is saying secondary can't cast, while thats true for your phone you can most certainly cast to your TV screen with a chromecast. Im the secondary on our oculus and I always cast to the TV. If u have a chronecast you just hit share and cast it to the TV. However it will not allow me to cast to my phone.

This really needs to be fixed!! I’m considering returning mine for this exact issue. It should be a no-brainer from the start :(

Got the Oculus as a bday gift, husband set it up but made me my own account. But mine was made as a secondary account so there is no way to stream from my account, it is so frustrating that we either can't track our own progress in games or can't watch each other play.

Yes this is the one thing I dont enjoy about being a secondary account. I have my sister as the primary account on my headset as she had the oculus quest 2 years before I got mine so she had bought lots of games, and now she shares them with me through app sharing.
The most frustrating thing about this is the fact that I cannot cast from my account to a computer or phone.. I gave my friend a go of my vr earlier on but we had to play on my sister's account in order to cast so I could see what she was doing.
Another annoying thing is that I can't connect my quest 2 to my PC, I plug it in with the cable and it'll tell me it can't find my headset, but as soon as I switch to my sister's account it connects no problem, (which meant I had to download custom synth riders songs on her account, meaning I can only play on hers).
Us secondary accounts are feeling way left out, I don't understand why it can't just work the same for all accounts?
I hope this gets resolved soon.

Please! This should have been a day-1 feature.

Please fix this! The whole reason for us to get this if for us to cast and watch the kids play but I'm admin and they are secondary account. The fact that you made it like this is absolutely ridiculous!

Please fix this. As others have said, I am the admin but my kid always wants to show me what he is doing, and he can't.

Really, everything multi-account is a mess, especially when tied to facebook. When I try to switch accounts on anything Oculus related, it always defaults to my last signed-in FB account, with no easy way to switch.

Why can’t I cast to my computer or my phone I made a secondary account and bought a game and I can only play that game from my account if I go to the administrator account than my game isn’t available I have to re buy it, and from my second account where I can play the game , i can’t cast to anything it asks me to go on my computer to oculous.con/casting and I have it on there and when I try to cast it just stays loading forever and rarely connects and when it does it’s just a dark screen and than it tells me error trying to cast?? I’m on Google chrome and everything is on the same wifi, only administrative account can do casting!!!???

Seems to be a complete misunderstanding of multi user accounts and of casting on this request thread. You can cast from secondary accounts, this needs to
be initiated from the headset direct to tv on the same network or via the casting website using chrome; the issue is you cant cast across accounts (this also means you cant go from secondary account to the mobile app). This feature request will go nowhere, it is designed intentionally like this for security, you wouldnt want any other data on an account to be accessible from an entirely seperate account would you? So dont make an exception for this specific thing.

You should absolutely be able to cast from the other accounts. This has been, by far, the most frustrating thing for me. My husband did the initial set up & put his Facebook account on it. Now when he goes to work, I can't access the casting from my phone unless I log in & out all day long back & forth between our accounts, it's ridiculous. I made my own oculus account with my Facebook only to realize that I couldn't pair the headset to the app, super annoying. Now we have 5 people rotating on 1 account just to see the casting on a tablet that doesn't have the capabilities of casting directly to my TV. We already have a ton of firesticks, so have no need to go out and purchase a separate chromecast just for this purpose.

We just tried this and it works. I'm an admin on our only Oculus Quest 2. My son is a secondary account.

I made sure that the oculus and my laptop are on the same Wifi network
I'm using Chrome. Not sure that it matters.
In Chrome, I had him sign into oculus.com using his account on my laptop. This is key.
We then went to https://www.oculus.com/casting where he is signed in.
On the Oculus he went to share to computer and it started casting to the browser.
I'm watching him cast from his secondary account as I'm typing this.

Agreed, this needs fixed ASAP. Initially, I had my kids playing on my account because they are not old enough by my standards to have a Facebook account. I, begrudgingly, made them their own Facebook accounts JUST to be used to play on their own accounts on our Oculus Quest 2 headset, only to find out that I can now no longer cast what they are doing if they are playing on their own accounts. Why? What is the purpose of this restriction? All four accounts on the headset should be able to pair and cast just like the primary account. Please fix ASAP!

A workaround...
You can cast from a secondary account directly to a Chromecast on same network. You have to do it from within the Oculus Quest 2 itself. In game, click the O on controller, find the share button, select the Chromecast.

Major issue! I’d prefer my 13 year old (and his friends) not have to be logged in to my Facebook account in order just to cast to a tv. My account has control over purchasing, etc. I’m already not thrilled that I had to set up a Facebook account for him, but it’s not that useful if he can’t use a primary feature like casting. Do better if you want families to use this.
