A lot of content on YouTube is VR capable, and can be used with a Viewer.
To locate content, open the YouTube app on your Smartphone and search YouTube using your desired keywords and the phrase "VR" or "Virtual Reality" or "360" to get VR compliant videos.
If a video is VR capable, it will have the VR headset symbol on the video when watched from a compatible mobile device. To switch to VR Viewer mode, tap the headset symbol.
Examples of VR YouTube videos
Existing virtual reality content for VR headsets, like the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, is available through different places, including Steam VR (a gaming website and store) and the Oculus Store.
