Does anyone use YouTube on GearVR?

I recently discovered watching short videos on my GearVR and decided to start doing movie reviews. But the only way I know how is to use the Oculus browser to load YouTube.

Does anyone know of another way to view YouTube in GearVR? Or maybe another way to view trailers.

Also curious on how you guys feel about watching video in GearVR? I like it for short vids. Haven't tried long form vids yet (like Netflix).

Hi, I've been in a long flight lately and loaded some full movies in my phone.

Using the Gear VR in the plane is a treat. The perceived trip shortens considerably (it was a 11h flight).

You need to use a high resolution file as the perceived resolutions drops considerably. Some time is also a bit difficult to read the subtitles. But the "big" screen and the isolation makes for all that.

Plane ride seems like the perfect use case for VR movie watching.

I tend to jump into VR mode @ my desk for a quick escape.
