Using Virtual Reality (VR) Viewing Mode
You can view 360-degree spherical videos in virtual reality (VR) mode. VR mode allows you to move your phone around you to view different parts of the video sphere. This allows you to experience your video differently and discover new details each time you watch it. If the video was recorded with spatial audio, the audio perspective changes as you change your view of the video sphere.
For an even more immersive experience, you can view the video in a VR headset compatible with the Google Cardboard™ VR platform, and you can also use headphones to experience the full effect of the spatial audio.
