[v2.10] YouTube VR: holding trigger to spin 180°/360° video now pops up the UI and blocks spinning

Headset: Meta Quest 3

OS: Horizon OS v2.10, installed Nov 12, 2026

App: YouTube VR 1.91.10

Public Test Channel: No

Summary:

After the v2.10 firmware update, holding the trigger to drag/spin the view in a 180° or 360° YouTube VR video brings the UI up in front of the video and stops the spin. This worked before the update.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open YouTube VR and play a 180° or 360° video in immersive view.

2. Hold the trigger on a Touch controller and flick/drag to spin the view and look in a different direction.

3. The UI pops up in front of the video on the trigger hold, and prevents further spinning.

Expected:

Holding the trigger drags/spins the view, with the UI staying hidden, as it did before v2.10.

Actual:

The UI appears on every trigger hold and blocks the spin. Dismissing it and trying again repeats the problem.

Frequency: Every time, 100% reproducible.

Regression note:

YouTube VR was unchanged for over a week before this started. Only the firmware updated, the day before I first saw it. I watch 180°/360° video this way for about an hour every night, and the controller spin is how I look around — as it stands, YouTube VR is broken for 360° video.

Workarounds tried: None found yet.

Is v2.10 out of PTC already?? Thanks for reporting it.. I take it you reported it through the bug reporting tool on your headset anyway.

Hopefully they'll fix it soon. 🤞🤞

Close! Muse wrote it and posted it for me and even logged in as me and asked me to give it the email authorization code to do so. It then suggested installing the Muse Chrome extension so it could access all my online accounts which would make things go a lot faster in the future. I don’t foresee any problems there.

I was in PTC. I had not realized that. I think I must have turned it on a couple of years ago for some feature I wanted and forgot about it. It does not say on the device that the version you have installed is from PTC. You have to check on the Meta app on iPhone (which I probably used to turn on PTC two years ago and have never used since).

Thanks. That's great, looking forward to seeing it soon, without the YouTube bug hopefully!

My mistake. I was on PTC so this has not been released yet. I just turned off PTC. Not sure if that causes the Quest 3 to downgrade but if it does, I will retest and post the results here.
