DateThursday, November 5, 2015 at 7:37PM

Get to watch videos that’ll make you feel like you’re there on YouTube. The streaming video giant is letting you watch virtual reality videos on Android. All you need to do is to have a Google Cardboard viewer and the YouTube app on hand. To get to watch a VR clip, just tap on the Cardboard icon seen in the additional options of a video and you’re good to go. You can try out the Hunger Games Experience or the other VR clips here. For creators, Google is offering you check out technologies like Jump to help you make VR videos.

YouTube on Android has also added the capability to watch any YouTube content on Google Cardboard. Again just tap on the Cardboard option from the video’s additional options and get that virtual movie theatre experience.
