YouTube co-watching on Horizon OS has finally arrived as a beta.
Meta first announced the feature over two years ago at Connect 2022.
YouTube co-watching takes place in Horizon Home, meaning you'll see other people as their Meta Avatar alongside you.
To start a co-watching session, open the official YouTube VR app and click the new 'Co-watch' button at the top. You'll see a prompt with a list of your Meta contacts, so just click the one you want to invite into your virtual home.
On Apple Vision Pro in contrast, YouTube still doesn't have an app at all yet, but Google says it's working on one, and it's available in Safari in the meantime, which supports Apple's SharePlay system in FaceTime.
Update Notice
This article was originally published during Meta Connect 2024, when the beta arriving "next week" was announced. It was then updated to reflect the beta actually launching.
