Quest headsets just got an interesting new capability via the new Meta Quest HDMI Link first-party app. […]

Capture cards can be used with smartphones, tablets, consoles, tablets, and more. For example, you could use a Lightning to HDMI cable alongside a capture card to view your iPhone on a giant virtual screen in your Quest. […]

However, there is a massive caveat to note here. Capture cards will not display DRM's content that uses HDCP. That means you won't be able to use this setup to watch downloaded Netflix or Disney+ titles, for example.

The Meta Quest HDMI Link app is available for free on App Lab. It's a panel app, so you can use it alongside other 2D apps and even inside VR apps if you have v69 PTC.

There are cheap HDMI splitters that strip protection from HDCP content :)
