YouTube app for Apple Vision Pro: Details
One of the key highlights of the native YouTube app for visionOS is a dedicated Spatial tab. This section helps users discover spatial content, including 3D, VR180, and 360-degree videos. These formats are particularly suited to mixed-reality viewing and make better use of the headset’s capabilities. For the newer Vision Pro model powered by the M5 chip, the app also supports 8K resolution playback, offering improved clarity for compatible videos.
The new app is available on the visionOS App Store and supports both M2 and M5 chip models of the headset. According to its App Store listing, the app requires visionOS 26 or later and is available in 77 languages, including Hindi, English, Tamil, Telugu, Urdu, Marathi, and more.
The app is designed to work with visionOS gesture controls. Users can resize video windows, scrub through timelines, and navigate the interface using hand movements, without the need for physical controllers.
In contrast, several major streaming platforms such as Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, Paramount+, and Peacock had already launched their dedicated apps for the Vision Pro.
