A significant update to the Meta Quest YouTube app will enable you to watch videos with up to seven other users.
Currently undergoing beta testing, the new feature seeks to further enhance the platform’s social experience.
You must first upgrade your app in order to use it. Additionally, the feature might not be accessible to everyone just now because it is still in beta.
How to use the co-watching feature?
First, pick the “Co-watch” icon (three individuals grouped) that shows up at the top of your screen.
After that, a popup will appear requesting that you “Invite people.”
From here, you may choose who will watch with you from your list of followers.
In this manner, you can share a YouTube Meta Quest viewing experience.
Limitations and potential
Nevertheless, there are some restrictions on YouTube’s Meta Quest app’s co-watching functionality.
It currently only supports 2D content, and any premium content, like as movies, must be purchased separately by each participant.
Notwithstanding these limitations, the feature presents a distinctive means of virtual reality socialisation, which might potentially function as a substitute for platforms such as Horizon Worlds.
