Easy question - but does Oculus Rift (not Gear VR) fully support 360 video? And what is the process like to access 360 videos? Can you use YouTube? I found out that the Vive does not, so I figured I'd ask.
Hi. just seen this and went on youtube but I don't understand how I get to see it through my rift??? if you could give me some advice on how to link to youtube to see stuff. Many thanks

Sorry if i say anything you already know. OK, so you need to buy the app, on Oculus Home (other sites are available) and you then open the app in Home. You will then see your desktop in your Rift (and the Virtual Desktop app which you can minimise). Open your browser, go to youtube and watch whatever you want. If you want to watch a 360 / 3d video you can copy the URL, go to Videos at the top right of Virtual Desktop and hit Paste - it downloads the video and plays automatically.
From the video above it looks like you can right click any video and hit play via VD - i haven't used that yet.
@andyring please don't use "VD" as that brings back some nasty memories of the 80's not personally though 😉 Virtual desktop is extremely easy to use and as stated, it really is that simple. Don't expect good quality though as most don't come across too well at all.
A PC with lots of gadgets inside and a thing to see in 3D that you put on your head.
