Our second bit of news is for the universe of existing YouTube content. And that’s the fact that you can now watch any video using Google Cardboard, and experience a kind of virtual movie theater. Just select the new “Cardboard” option from the watch page menu, drop your phone into your viewer, and you’re done.
Now YouTube videos will have a little icon featuring Google’s Cardboard headset that will push users into a VR viewing mode. Once there, users just need to pop their phone into a smartphone-compatible headset like the Samsung Gear or Google’s Cardboard and begin watching.
Sadly for iOS users, the new YouTube VR experience is limited to Android for now.
