How to show HTC Vive on TV

Is it possible to connect the HTC Vive to a TV?

• Connect your gaming PC to the TV you want to display the graphics on with an HDMI cable.
• Start your computer and plug in your HTC Vive headset.
• If you’re moving your PC around for this, be sure to position your HTC Vive Lighthouse trackers correctly and run the room setup again to map out your new play area.
• Launch Steam and SteamVR and verify that virtual reality is working properly on the HTC Vive headset.
• Select the three-line options menu in the SteamVR menu, then select Show VR View. It displays what you see in the VR headset in a small window on any connected display (your TV in this case).
• You can change the aspect ratio of the window by selecting and dragging a corner. Alternatively, select Full Screen to fill the entire TV screen.
• Mirroring the audio is also a good idea so everyone can hear what’s going on. If this doesn’t happen automatically, open the SteamVR settings menu and navigate to Audio to select the mirror output device.
