Quoting from “YouTube is (finally) Coming to Horizon Home Making it Easier to Watch with Friends”:
Meta announced that Quest users will soon be able to watch YouTube content inside Horizon Home, the first-party social VR space that’s finally making it easy to hang out in VR with friends.
This article is a year old. Is that feature already there and I‘m just not seeing it?
It’s ridiculous they haven’t updated the YouTube app to support over 4k. 360 looks like garbage at that resolution.
I’d love to watch with friends features of 360 and 180 videos, flat screen I just use bigscreen VR.
Oculus TV is the best way to do this now but it’s a more limited selection. I believe skybox is working on co- watching.
I’m sure there’s technical reasons for why it’s difficult to implement, but they should 100% have a shared browser window where you can watch stuff together.
Regardless, they have a real problem with announcing things way too early. If it’s not ready, don’t talk about it. Splinter Cell, GTA5, Xbox game pass (announced over a year ago), Microsoft teams integration, to name a few.
