Loading and watching my own VR videos on Daydream with Pixel XL

[ttb5575]

I have moved from Galaxy Note 5 where VR Gear was super easy to use. We made some videos with Samsungs 360 camera and want to watch them on my new pixel. I saved the files to my Pixel but when I get into the VR mode I can't find any way to access them and watch?

Anyone know how to load and watch videos on the PIXEL XL and Daydream?

Thanks

Turn off NFC in settings and then you can watch those as well as all of the Google cardboard apps from the play store without activating Daydream when putting the camera in the VR headset . I don't think the remote works though

There is an option to access Google photos while in daydream vr. Would that work?

An App called Fulldive now supports Daydream and the remote. It shows up as an app when you launch daydream. It is not perfect, but watching your own movies is really nice with it.

Oddly, no - and when I got to Google Photos on the app, it only has a handful of my pictures so it's not pulling from my main photo folder. Thanks for the option though!

Okay. I will check it out. Thanks!

You will need a download a Google DayDream compatible VR video player such as VRTV Player which enables you to play various different VR videos including 2D movie and Side by side (SBS), Over and Under (OU, Top and Bottom) 3D movie, Panoramic video 180 (Dome), 220, 270 and 360 degrees on Google DayDream with its compatible Android smartphones.

Isn't the daydream app in beta still?
