I bought the movie from youtube. It has several audio tracks. There is an audio track switch on my computer. But youtube VR for meata quest 3 has no audio track switch. There is only subtitle switch. How to switch audio track in youtube vr for meata quest 3? I bought meta quest 3 specially for watching movies on big screen, and there is no elementary switch which is available in youtube computer version.

Hi @Armer! We've noticed you have concerns about audio swapping on YouTube VR. We understand the importance to having full access to all features when using YouTube VR. However, you would need to access this option through your YouTube account's settings. To enable the audio swap feature in your YouTube account settings, please follow the steps below:

 

  1. Sign into YouTube Studio
  2. Select "Content" from the left menu
  3. Click the video you'd like to edit
  4. Select "Editor" from the left menu
  5. Select "Audio" and use the search filters to find a new audio track
  6. After you've found the song you'd like, click "Add"
  7. When you've finished, click "Save"

We hope this helps. If you have any further questions, please let us know!

I was referring to switching the audio track in a purchased movie. This is a screenshot from web youtube. Youtube VR does not have this option.

Thank you so much for clarifying the matter. We completely understand how important it is to be able to toggle the audio track for your movie, especially when the additional tracks come with what you purchased and you'd like to use them. This is a feature within YouTube itself, so we ask that you reach out to YouTube directly for assistance. They are the ones who developed the app and can potentially make changes to it, so they are best suited to help with this one. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

That "answer" by Quest is not helpful at all.   It is still not working.   I use youtube on my laptop I can change audio channel, but I cannot change if I use it on my Quest 3.....   it is annoying when I am forced to listen to an undesired audio channel.....  I don;t think it is Youtube's problem.....

I have struggled for 2 nights already to find a way to change the audio channel.....no luck.

I found a workaround. If you switch your Quest headset language to the desired audio track language, the movie audio track will switch too. It need a restart of the headset.

You can find the settings in the localization category of the Quest settings page.
