I can't see VR videos on Valve Index

[zetul]

Hi, like the title says I'm having trouble seeing VR videos on my Valve Index. Like, I try to view videos on youtube 360, but I can't... integrate... in the video. Like I can open the desktop interface, go on the browser, open youtube and that's it. The video plays on youtube and can move the image with my cursor as if I'd be on the desktop PC, but can't actually view and integrate in VR. I've tried on multiple browsers - Chrome, Mozilla, Opera even Edge. I get the same results.

Most googling I've done has led me to VR players, where you have to load up a VR video from your own PC to the player, bot nothing about seeing clips directly off online.

Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to adjust something in my softwares or should I contact steam support about this?

AFAIK your googling is correct. Seems weird, right, that you can't stream VR off Youtube? Just remember that Youtube is all about trying to get ad revenue and data from you, maybe this adds barriers that VR devs can't overcome.

I've never got youtube to work in VR but video players work and other video sites work. I haven't tried very hard though. There's apparently a way to do it with Bigscreen beta. I think you just load a side by side video on youtube and then switch to sbs in the bigscreen settings.

just using Ocqulus pro to see Toroto music festival via 4K 360 60 fps video Via youtubeVR , it amazing with inear headphone or home studio 16W/300W speaker

now going to use insta360 or drone to takephoto or video via new years / Chrismax/ halloween Festival , but the equitment and storage via cloud and editing software doesnt come cheap and lots of Processing work with backgroud music and subitite

however as the first week to enter VR gaming and video browing industry , the cloud rending via stadia/luna alexa and Azure microsoft cloud via 4G/5G or wifi can make the mix viritily getting best entainment , but the most problem is BATTERY / BATTERY and BATTERY ,the HMD need wireless charing instant of pushing to 4K/6K/8K per eye resolution , same as iphone camera /battery problem
