Apple’s high-tech VR headset, the Vision Pro, made a grand debut in the international markets. With its unexceptionally increasing demand, more companies are extending their app support for Apple’s Vision Pro. In early February 2024, Apple announced another 600+ apps for the device. However, popular streaming services like YouTube and Netflix are still missing out on this list. So, is there a way to watch YouTube on Apple Vision Pro?
Well, if you just got your hands on this brand-new device, you must be excited to have your first streaming experience on it. Fortunately, there are a few ways to watch YouTube on Vision Pro, even without the support of the official YouTube app. This guide shares some of the best ways to start your YouTube streaming journey with the Apple Vision Pro.
Watch YouTube on Apple Vision Pro
YouTube is one of the most popular online streaming platforms. Yet, the VR headset does not support the official YouTube and iPad apps. This leaves users with no way to watch YouTube on Apple Vision Pro. Thankfully, we have come up with a few potential ways to offer users an uninterrupted YouTube streaming experience on Vision Pro.
1. Watch YouTube on Safari Browser
The first way to access YouTube on Vision Pro is via the Safari browser. Since the Apple Vision Pro supports the Safari, you can continue watching your favorite content using the YouTube web application. The web app lacks the personalized experience of the native YouTube application and doesn’t support offline streaming. However, its familiar user interface and more prominent display feel even better and more realistic with Vision Pro.
2. Wait for the Official YouTube App
If you have any specific requirements or are curious to know how a native YouTube app for this VR would feel, you have good news. YouTube has just confirmed that they are planning to work on a Vision Pro app. Although YouTube has no plans for it at the moment, we can expect it sometime in the future. The YouTube spokesperson Jessica Gibby announced that while users have a great experience on Safari, a Vision Pro app is also on their roadmap.
3. Use Third-Party Apps
Another way to access YouTube is by using a third-party app. Juno a third-party YouTube client developed by Christian Selig, is probably the best YouTube app for Vision Pro. It is highly compatible with VisionOS and offers an astonishing experience.
Juno is equipped with all the essential features, making it the perfect YouTube alternative. Apart from its native functions, Juno comes with enhanced controls like dimming windows, resizing them, or repositioning them. Unlike the YouTube web app, Juno automatically adjusts its display according to the video sizes.
However, the best part about it is that you don’t have to set up an account to start streaming. But if you are a premium subscriber, you must log in to leverage the premium content and features. Juno is readily available in the app store for $4.99 per month. Not that it does not offer a free plan, so if you don’t mind spending a bit, Juno is definitely worth a try.
Final Words
So, that’s how you can watch YouTube on Apple Vision Pro. Until YouTube develops a native Vision Pro app, Juno will undoubtedly be the best alternative available. However, if you are not willing to pay for a paid app, you have the option to stick to the YouTube web app. Even though you might miss out on certain features, YouTube on Safari offers a much-refined experience with Apple’s revolutionized tech gadget.
