YouTube on Meta Quest: Co-Watch Videos in VR with Friends

YouTube App on Meta Quest Introduces Co-Watching Feature

The YouTube app on Meta Quest is set to enhance your video-watching experience with an exciting new upgrade. Users will now be able to co-watch videos with up to seven friends, making virtual gatherings more interactive and enjoyable.

How to Use the Co-Watch Feature

To enable the co-watching feature, you need to ensure that you have the latest version of the YouTube app installed on your Meta Quest. Follow these simple steps:

  • Look for the “Co-watch” icon at the top of the screen, which resembles three people grouped together.
  • Select the icon, and a new window will pop up.
  • Click on “Invite people” to invite followers from your list.

Limitations of Co-Watching

While the co-watching feature provides a fantastic way to connect with friends, there are a few limitations to keep in mind:

  • You can only co-watch 2D content.
  • For paid content, like movies, every participant needs to purchase the content separately.

A Unique Way to Enjoy VR Together

Despite these limitations, co-watching can still be an enjoyable way to socialize in VR, offering a nice alternative to hanging out in Horizon Worlds. It may even feel more intuitive compared to features like Apple’s Spatial Personas for the Vision Pro.

Get Ready to Enjoy Co-Watching!

Update your YouTube app today and invite your friends to experience videos together in a whole new way! The Meta Quest co-watching feature is a step forward in creating a fun, interactive environment for users in virtual reality.
