Earlier this month, we started rolling out our v41 software update—and with it, people began to experience Meta Horizon Home, your personal gateway to the metaverse where you can hang out with friends and launch your group into supported multiplayer experiences. One of our favorite parts about Meta Horizon Home is that it lets you and your friends watch movies, documentaries, and on-demand concerts on Oculus TV together in VR.
Friends can take turns sharing their favorite pieces of content, discover something new, or check out a concert together. To get started, ensure you’ve updated your headset to the latest software release. Then you’ll need to create a Party—a VOIP call that lets you hang out and chat with friends in VR—and invite some friends to your Meta Horizon Home. Once there, you can watch 2D and 3D rectilinear content together on a giant screen, or enjoy 180° and 360° videos on an immersive dome. From hit movies and killer concerts to the wonders of space, the great outdoors, and beyond, Oculus TV has a wealth of genres and content formats to suit virtually every taste and mood. Just browse Oculus TV for the video you want to watch together, then start your personal watch party.
Unsure where to start? We’ve got you covered.
