YouTube in VR?

One of the biggest video platforms in the world also lets you watch videos with a VR headset. It's on the YouTube platform of course.

As everyone already knows, VR is coming up very fast. Not just for gamers but also for people who want to do business, people who want to entertain, and more.

YouTube VR was already introduced in 2016, but at that time it was not such a popular concept. It was mostly used by people with a desktop or smartphone. With this, you could just drag your mouse and change your view, instead of turning your head.

Now there is a YouTube VR app, a sub-application of the big giant YouTube. On this app, you can find countless 360-degree videos.

Advantages of YouTube VR

Everyone is looking for the most realistic experience. Videos in which you yourself are in, so to speak. This platform makes this a reality. Users can walk around the world in their favourite places, they can skydive, watch their idol perform, and so much more.

YouTube VR also enables content creators to create VR videos and share them with the rest of the world.

An extra feature of this app is that it has a "Voice search" function. This has been done so that you don't have to type in VR, which can cause headaches.
