YouTube "Juno" for Apple Vision Pro supports 360-degree video format

The Apple Vision Pro still doesn't have an official YouTube app, and while Google has already confirmed its plans to create a visionOS app, users still have to rely on Safari to watch online videos on Apple's $3,500 headset.

Here's What We Know

Juno is a third-party app that provides Vision Pro users with a better YouTube experience. The app has now been updated with many new features, including support for 360-degree video.

As announced by developer Christian Selig in a blog post, Juno 2.0 offers many features that users have been waiting for. Firstly, there's a new interface that takes better advantage of visionOS. The tab bar has been updated, and now switching between menus is much faster.

One of the most interesting innovations is the support for spatial videos. Juno users can now watch 180º and 360º YouTube videos on Apple Vision Pro.

The app even uses Apple's Metal engine to upscale 4K videos to 6K. There are some limitations, such as a maximum frame rate of 30 frames per second.

You can also use Siri to ask Juno to adjust the playback speed or jump to a specific time in the video.

You can download the app from the Vision Pro App Store for a one-time cost of $4.99.
