How do you watch VR Youtube videos on this?

[DarkPhenomenon]

I'm trying to find a way to watch VR youtube videos on my Oculus rift and there doesn't seem to be a way. Deo just plays the VR videos on a flat screen, not in actual VR, is there any way to watch youtube videos in actual VR in an Oculus Rift?

At this stage, (at least if you want to watch VR180 videos from youtube) you have to download the videos with youtube dlp. If you have not used it before it can be a bit intimidating because you have to use the command prompt and enter the correct line, but once you have done it it's no problem doing it again.

Still, if you download a 360 video it will be in the cubemap format, and I have not tried it in DEO for a while so I am not sure if it supports cubemap format by now. But I know that HereSphere does.

Youtube has pretty much botched the whole VR thing on their website, and their youtubeVR app only works on android. That's why in order to access the correct versions of VR180 videos you have to change the user agent to android, which you can do in youtube dlp. If a VR player could make use of this trick for their browser, maybe we would be able to stream youtube's VR videos.

If you aren't writing and boycotting Google then you have yourselves to blame, they screwed everyone in the VR Biz, every VR customer they had and every vr content provider on Youtube.

If you want to watch youtube VR, Whirligig is the VR player you can use. It supports many special Cube map format. One of them will work with your video.

After years of searching and commenting about this issue, I finally found a downloader that will download in 3d sbs not just mono on Youtube.
You get 100 free downloads, it's WonderFox Soft-HD Video Converter Factory
If this was helpful and you end up purchasing it or figuring out where in the registry edit they hide the 100 trys trial then please share with me. ;-)

Have you tried using Youtube DLP ? If so, is this Wonderfox thing able to get higher quality 3d SBS from youtube? YT-DLP certainly can get the 3D version and has no limit on downloads, but sometimes I wonder if I am getting the best quality version.

Just use Youtube DL in command line, easy to use, fast and you can get any video though the ones with the highest quality like 4K tend to not have the audio in the video
