How do I watch VR videos on YouTube?
Hey there, snowcap! We definitely want for you to be able to use your headset in whatever way is most comfortable for you to watch content! That being said, it is most likely not possible to watch full 360 immersive Youtube videos through any PC web browser (at least not without a complicated workaround and extra software), as those are simply not designed to allow that sort of playback. You would need to use a VR-specific app to play these videos, like the Youtube VR app available within the headset store.
We hope this addresses the concerns you had today. Please let us know if there is anything else we can look into for you!

Hi snowcap alternatively you can view youtube videos recorded in SBS (side-by-side) format on your headset using Bigscreen beta (free)

or Virtual Desktop ($15)

Both of these apps allow you to watch full stereoscopic 3D content on a large, movie theatre size screen.
