YouTube has officially launched its dedicated app for the Apple Vision Pro, allowing users to enjoy their favourite content on a theater-sized virtual screen in a fully immersive environment.
The company said that YouTube, available on Apple Vision Pro, will come with a Spatial tab that allow users discover spatial videos, including 3D, VR180, and 360-degree formats. For consumers with the latest Apple Vision Pro models powered by the M5 chip, the app supports 8K playback, a notable upgrade.
Additionally, users can interact with the new visionOS app using gesture controls, such as resizing windows or scrubbing through videos.
It is important to note that with YouTube’s massive audience and established creator monetisation tools, this could encourage more filmmakers to experiment with spatial video formats.
YouTube says the videos remain front and centre while the surrounding environment fades away, creating a more “lean-back” viewing experience.
The YouTube for VisionOS app is 180MB in size and supports devices running on VisionOS 26.0 and later. The app is now available in the visionOS App Store and is compatible with both the M2 and M5 chip models.
