I recently acquired a VR headset that uses my phone, similar to Google Cardboard. I’ve heard that to watch VR videos on YouTube, you need to locate a VR button, but I’m having trouble finding it. Can anyone help me locate it?

@Vinic Look for the VR button on the video player controls, which is typically represented by a small cube icon, to watch VR videos on YouTube with your phone-based VR gear. To switch on VR mode and take advantage of an immersive viewing experience, tap it. Try changing the YouTube app or your headset’s settings if you are unable to locate the button.

VR video viewing becomes immersive with the YouTube VR app, which is compatible with Oculus Quest 1/2/Pro/3 and PICO 4 headsets. Beyond the basic phone-based VR mode accessible through the YouTube mobile app settings, it offers a separate VR experience.

This is actually right. But to use the app, as @AVRTechTalk3 said, you need to look for the VR button on the video player controls. You can now then enjoy watching your VR videos on YouTube with your phone-based VR gear.

Hello, Vinic. It was formerly supported, but Google determined that VR was no longer worth the work and ceased supporting it on YouTube.
