I have the 128GB quest because I knew I was going to load it with movies. I'm always in bigscreen or using sky box. The feeling being in your own cinema is just too good and I love it.
For those of you who have action cameras - try recording in wide screen format with the fisheye ON, then watch it in the TH-cam app with the curved screen option on - takes the viewing experience to a whole new level.
I agree with you. One of my favorite activities to do on the Oculus Quest is enjoying a movie or tv show on the big screen. I like the Prime Video app, the Pluto tv app and the Bigscreen app the best. I love the experience it offers and you do not have to leave your home but at the same time you feel like you are actually in the theater! It is incredible!
@@myrecommendedisallmemes Not necessarily, the experience will be a bit worse, but once the plane is leveled you should mostly be fine. Your head generally tilts with the plane, so you shouldn't notice much out of the ordinary. Tracking might suffer though due to the large changes in lighting if you're flying during the day.
I have some answers. I was playing Vr on a two hour flight even with some turbulence. So I played vader, space pirates, and a rollercoaster game. I can report that it's not terrible. I was not affected until I tried the rollercoaster.
Got my rift a year ago and just got into big screen and the vr movie watching experience and I love it. Being in a tiny apartment it's a good solution for watching movies at home.
Bigscreen has a no distractions option while hosting to eliminate popcorn and tomatoes. There is also a privacy setting for watching alone. Questers can also toggle the annoying push to talk feature in the settings.
You can upload movies to drop box and watch them via the gallery, you can also download the movie to the headset to watch in other venues. Also you can download the DLNA app from the play market set up access to storage or memory card and stream it from you phone to your gallery or to skybox, works well if you have a good quality copy of the movie. You can access most of you phones content via DLNA great app.. hope this help someone who doesn't know, enjoy
Virtual Desktop (and headphones) + IR Light Illuminator = the best way to watch video content on the quest while laying in bed at night. Like your own full on movie theater, and perfectly quiet / non disturbing to anyone sleeping.
I really enjoy relaxing and watching TH-cam in VR, especially when manipulating the screen position and size to my comfort. I don’t enjoy watching media for long periods of time, however. I don’t know why games are different for me, because I don’t mind spending hours in things like SUPERHOT. So Prime video and Netflix aren’t great options for me, but I’m glad they’re an option.
I get my quest in just a few days, I’m so excited! everything you’ve been posting is really helping me prepare for the hours and hours I will spend on this beautiful piece of tech. Keep up the amazing work!!
I agree that Skybox is the best app and I'm really enjoying watching 3D movies on the "big" screen. It makes watching the films more of an event rather than watching on a phone or pad and you can do it anywhere. "Adult" content hasn't lost it's luster yet either.
I use Virtual Desktop on my Quest with the app on my gaming PC. I can play PCVR games as well as streaming content from my monitor directly onto my screen!
I had the same Netflix and theater apps on the Samsung VR headset. Your eyes kind of play tricks with you watching movies on those apps! I really felt like I was watching Netflix shows on a big screen television! I'm really excited to watch Friday the 13th part 3 in 3D!
In the original oculus.. on my phone back in the day... my favorite theater was the moon screen.. then they axed it... if they brought it back or had a sim where i could listen to music and sit on the moon... I'd buy an oculus in a heart beat
Just wish the picture quality would be sharper on the Oculus Go. For me having a clearer picture is more pleasing on the eyes rather than having a bigger picture. But I'm sure the experience will get better over time.
@@joereid84 The index quality is really good. if you get one, on Steam download Bigscreen vr, and whatever files you have on your Pc will be projected there in your Virtual theater. you can also watch streaming services also via Bigscreen.

what does the resolution look like? is it 720p or 1080p like? people on Reddit have told me that the quality for movies sucks but it looks soo good in youtube videos
Barely 720 p.characters in background sometimes blurred out in bigscreen mode. If you need glasses you may have issues with ipd adjust. Look at prescription lenses if you hate wearing glasses with the spacer provided.
I have an Oculus Go and have watched tons of movies on it BUT I also went out a bought a cheap projector. In my opinion the virtual big screen lacks the feeling as an actual big screen. Thanks for the video!
Hi Matt. Just wondering if you’re going to do a video on movie watching on Quest 2? I’d love to know what Max resolution movies can be played back on the Quest 2 now that it has a much improved Qualcomm XR2 cpu and gpu compared to the Quest 1.
One of my favorite way of watching online video is to: 1) launch VR Desktop on Quest 2) launch a video on my computer (while streaming the desktop content to Quest) 3) put it in fullscreen mode 4) switch the VR Desktop environment to Dark Cinema Et voila - I'm in the cinema watching a movie :) That being said, I'll probably try out Skybox.
Can someone explain why you have to have it so it looks like you're watching a screen with the content on. Why not just have the content fill the quest ?
Movies are not made for VR use. The image would just fill the whole screen. Turn on a movie on your monitor and lean your head in so close that you cant see the edges. Basically it would bee too zoomed in to enjoy it.
I wish we had a option to change the background when watching a movie . And when you are laying down facing the ceiling, the screen is never there, so you need to be in a angle, like sitting. It's odd.
I am completely new to this Oculus. I am not a game person except for pinball. I enjoy being outdoors, watching old b/w movies (TCM) and a good game of cribbage. So why would I buy an Oculus?
I'm really intrigued by the idea of being able to just lay down in bed and watch a movie in VR. can you lock the video screen to always stay in front of you and not use the gyro? it'd be nice to switch between laying on your side and back and just over all rolling around and always having the tv in front of your eyes. I personally hate laying in bed and starring at a TV at my feel since my neck starts to hurt after a while
how do i watch itunes movies on my quest? I am an apple guy and have been for years. I have a ton of movies that i bought from Itunes and it would be a shame if i couldn't watch them. Thanks
hey so i’m a huge VR fan, i’ve only been able to try it once at a convention, i’ve been saving for a quest because i don’t have a good computer (i’m 14 BTW). i instantly fell in love with the quest as soon as it came out. but i haven’t been able to get one because i don’t have a good source of money. could you please give me advice or some help with it
I'd recommend contacting a financial advisor, they'll be perfect to talk to about making money. Otherwise try your luck in currency trading! ;) But keep saving for that quest! You'll love it!!!
Go ask people with money if they have any small jobs u can do for them. Save everything u can, it will add up quicker than u think. Keep going until you have enough. U can do it if u really want it. Effort will get u there, and you'll feel great once u accomplish your goal.
At OC6 it was mentioned that FandangoNow was available on the quest and that it had 100's of 3D movies available. Has anyone tested that experience? Can you rent 3D movies or are you forced to purchase them?
I've been wanting to have watch parties with friends of mine from around the country....but aside from that, personally, I see no real upside to watching full-length movies through the Quest. But, to each their own.
You mentioned that you wish your two favorite apps had the ability to invite friends so that you and your wife could watch together. Are there apps that have that ability?
You almost answered my question about couples being able to watch simultaneously. Is there a way for a second person, or a group for that matter, to view on a separate monitor what’s being seen on the headset itself?
I have a question regarding this and the apps. Can you move around in the theater while the movie is playing, and like pick any seat in the house you want?
@@garykunsman448 it usually does, im pretty sure its because of your monitor size, i mean you could have it stretched resolution but that would look bad. its because of your monitor size isn't as long as the screen (that is if they were the same size)
Hopefully some experts here can answer. I would like to use a Vr set for learning not really gaming. Basically would like to be able to view files on the computer and shuffle them in a 3d environment. Or browse the internet in 3d is this possible?? Sorry for my complete ignorance about Vr sets.
You can stream your computer screen to your Quest with Big Screen, but there is a significant delay and it's a low quality stream. If you mean watching videos from your computer, you can play them through network sharing in Oculus Video or Skybox. You can use the browser but it's just like looking at a floating computer screen.
What's the difference between Skybox and Virtual Desktop? Is Virtual Desktop the same as Skybox but with the added option of playing games on your computer?
Skybox doesn't let u stream that way its more for dlna streaming while virtual desktop streams from pc think of skybox like using a chromecast- while virtual desktop is more like screen mirroring
I'm with you. The way the theater is set up, the video doesn't seem like its on a 180 inch screen to me, and there are empty chairs where they could just be showing a bigger version of the movie.
@@Bungle2010 Hard to explain. Imagine watching a video on TH-cam where the entire video fills the rectangle as they all do. Now, imagine that same video if it were a smaller rectangle in the middle with a movie theater set all around it including in front of you. I basically want the entire screen to be the movie I am watching...nothing up down left or right of me but movie. The way you are describing, I just do not feel like it is a big screen...more like if I held my phone six inches from my eyes and watched a movie there and also saw all the stuff around me (bed, window, etc. on the screen edges. Does this make sense?
@@Bungle2010 I know what you are saying, but when I watch, it feels more like I am watching a 65 inch tv sitting six feet away rather than in a theater watching a 75 foot screen. VR games are convincing because I feel the scale more convincingly, but I don't et that with the movie theater VR apps. If you are familiar, I have used Skybox to watch, and I don't get the effect. Is there a better application that makes it as convincing as a VR game looks in terms of scale?
Only just got a quest and found you can goto Plex web site in the browser and play movies from Plex servers. do you know if i can connect any other Apps to the plex servers
I like being able to watch in a movie theater setting. I hate movie theaters as they are giant Petri dishes of horrible germs, viruses. I can now experience movies in a theater.
Hi. I recently purchased skyboxvr on my quest but to install it on my pc its asking to purchase again. Is this right. Only I have skyboxvr but I cant connect my phone to it even though I have downloaded dlna server on my phone
I'm seriously thinking of buying a Quest 2. I have a large library of 3D blu-rays that I usually watch on my large screen tv. I would like to watch them using the laptop and cable... I have an external 3D blu-ray player for the laptop however the laptop monitor doesn't permit 3D unless I select anaglyph setting from my software. Would I be able to view the 3D movies using the Quest 2?
Skybox hands down. It's not so much the the lack of high resolution, but the experience. In the real theatre, depth in a 3D movie changes according to what seat you are sitting on. This doesn't happen in VR.
Its like having a Nintendo Switch Lite instead of a PS4 Pro or Xbox One X. Your games are enjoyable but are not the same technical masterpieces the tethered PC VR headset games are. Its convenience over quality.
The kids of today and their interests will dominate the media, entertainment sector soon. They will want all things vr, ar. This means massive innovation of these platforms, so much that we likely have no idea how far it will go. It will be awesome.
I mean it won't ever fill your whole view. It would have black around it because your view is a sphere basically and the screen is a rectangle...unless you forced a 360 mode and the movie would be massively stretched and warped around you. Buy you can watch without an environment in several apps.
Absolutely it is better to watch media (movies, etc.) in VR on an Oculus Go or Oculus Quest headset than on a tv. Any tv! For you are right, it is the EXPERIENCE of watching movies on a movie theater sized screen-in 3d!-as opposed to watching on a tv. And let's not forget the PHENOMENAL Oculus surround sound-no sound bar necessary! NOT. EVEN. CLOSE. Well, unless you are willing-and able-to spend $60,000.00 on a 98" 4k tv. Good luck with that. And remember, these are PROTOTYPE Oculus VR headsets! They WILL get better. Especially given their POPULARITY- Oculus VR headset are selling out NATIONWIDE!!!
Blurry, grainy pictures on the go. With a similar up to 72 fps, the quest wont compare with 65 inch 4K oled and my Bose home theater speaker system with several subwoofers, lazer directed spatial sound. No headphones on a vr headset will ever compare, and wearing the headset becomes sweaty and uncomfortable after a while. That will weigh more with a battery, otherwise any movie over a few hours will run out.

You can reset the centre position to anywhere you're looking, so what you're asking for is possible. You just can't turn the gyro off.
Its not automatic. You can by messing with settings. In default, the gyroscope thinks you are looking up when you lie down.
Pretty sure Netflix supports this.
I just use Virtual Desktop in the Auditorium environment, which gives you the IMAX experience.

Now, imagine that same video if it were a smaller rectangle in the middle with a movie theater set all around it including in front of you. I basically want the entire screen to be the movie I am watching...nothing up down left or right of me but movie. The way you are describing, I just do not feel like it is a big screen...more like if I held my phone six inches from my eyes and watched a movie there and also saw all the stuff around me (bed, window, etc. on the screen edges. Does this make sense?
@@Bungle2010 I know what you are saying, but when I watch, it feels more like I am watching a 65 inch tv sitting six feet away rather than in a theater watching a 75 foot screen. VR games are convincing because I feel the scale more convincingly, but I don't et that with the movie theater VR apps. If you are familiar, I have used Skybox to watch, and I don't get the effect. Is there a better application that makes it as convincing as a VR game looks in terms of scale?
was hoping for something on sound. its the one thing that stops me watching on skybox.
how can I watch Netflix when im laying in my bed? I only see the ceeling, can I tilt the netflix screen so that I can watch it laying down?
Inge buchwald lol that sucks
Inge buchwald u can watch it in the other room. There should be a button
Switch to the mode where the screen always floats in front of your face. You won't be in the virtual living room but it will work.
Only just got a quest and found you can goto Plex web site in the browser and play movies from Plex servers. do you know if i can connect any other Apps to the plex servers
You didn't mention the web browser!!!
is the intro music the chase theme tune

I like being able to watch in a movie theater setting. I hate movie theaters as they are giant Petri dishes of horrible germs, viruses. I can now experience movies in a theater.
I have a USD 150 projector and it works wonders! (1080P) but i reallt want the VR haha can I connect my VR to the projector though? Hdmi?
I got the quest for christmas
Awesome!
Thanks for getting to the point his was really bothering me since I’m getting this sometimes in September
same!
Aye should HMU sometimes because me and my cousin will be watching Pokémon, and other anime movies
Does this has a chance against a normal home cinema? Or does it look like it u put a low res video on a big screen?
Hi. I recently purchased skyboxvr on my quest but to install it on my pc its asking to purchase again. Is this right. Only I have skyboxvr but I cant connect my phone to it even though I have downloaded dlna server on my phone
What do you think will translate with quest2?
do you have to have a p.c. for watching a movies and such on vr and if so what’s a alternative
no you can install movies to quest or stream them from services like netflix
Lol why is his intro the chase theme speeded up
I'm seriously thinking of buying a Quest 2. I have a large library of 3D blu-rays that I usually watch on my large screen tv. I would like to watch them using the laptop and cable... I have an external 3D blu-ray player for the laptop however the laptop monitor doesn't permit 3D unless I select anaglyph setting from my software. Would I be able to view the 3D movies using the Quest 2?
Skybox hands down. It's not so much the the lack of high resolution, but the experience. In the real theatre, depth in a 3D movie changes according to what seat you are sitting on. This doesn't happen in VR.
for some reason all my purchases work on my pc but when I view them on my quest, I get a black screen with sound. anyone else?
Is the quest a good, non-pc vr headset? I’m looking at getting one but I’m not sure.
Cypress best standalone option out there
Buy one I've just got mine and I'm blown away
stuart wright I did already I love it!
Its like having a Nintendo Switch Lite instead of a PS4 Pro or Xbox One X. Your games are enjoyable but are not the same technical masterpieces the tethered PC VR headset games are. Its convenience over quality.
It's a pc headset as well as standalone!
Did the same thing on my Oculus go :)
just add eating juice and food never taking off my oculus again.
LittleSlenderMan 321 😂😂
Lmoa
Camera Sama finna eat juice lmao
Kipe347 lol
Hey BMF. Have you tried fandango now app on the quest? Supposedly you can watch new 3D movies via fandango now
The kids of today and their interests will dominate the media, entertainment sector soon. They will want all things vr, ar. This means massive innovation of these platforms, so much that we likely have no idea how far it will go. It will be awesome.
The chase is on
Can movies be watched without the cinema mode? I'm considering buying if it the movie can fill my whole view!
I mean it won't ever fill your whole view. It would have black around it because your view is a sphere basically and the screen is a rectangle...unless you forced a 360 mode and the movie would be massively stretched and warped around you. Buy you can watch without an environment in several apps.
This guy is fucking awesome can we get this guy to 50k!?
Does anyone know how to change the screen position? If I’m lying in bed so the screen would be on the roof
hold the home button on the oculus controller and look where u wanna put the screen-
Absolutely it is better to watch media (movies, etc.) in VR on an Oculus Go or Oculus Quest headset than on a tv. Any tv! For you are right, it is the EXPERIENCE of watching movies on a movie theater sized screen-in 3d!-as opposed to watching on a tv. And let's not forget the PHENOMENAL Oculus surround sound-no sound bar necessary! NOT. EVEN. CLOSE. Well, unless you are willing-and able-to spend $60,000.00 on a 98" 4k tv. Good luck with that. And remember, these are PROTOTYPE Oculus VR headsets! They WILL get better. Especially given their POPULARITY- Oculus VR headset are selling out NATIONWIDE!!!
Blurry, grainy pictures on the go. With a similar up to 72 fps, the quest wont compare with 65 inch 4K oled and my Bose home theater speaker system with several subwoofers, lazer directed spatial sound.
No headphones on a vr headset will ever compare, and wearing the headset becomes sweaty and uncomfortable after a while.
That will weigh more with a battery, otherwise any movie over a few hours will run out.
