Browser-based VR playback

A free online VR player built for local video

WatchVR turns a flat-looking VR video file into an interactive 180° or 360° view. Open a file from your device, choose the projection and layout, then drag to look around. Playback happens in the browser, so you can preview VR footage without first transferring it to a server or installing a desktop app.

1. Open your video

Choose a browser-supported video file from your phone or computer. You can also drop it onto the upload area.

2. Select VR settings

Use 180° or 360° projection with mono, SBS/LR, top-bottom or front-back layout controls.

3. Watch and adjust

Drag to look around, seek, change playback speed, zoom, and tune brightness, contrast and sharpness.

VR video formats and controls

The online VR video player supports common immersive layouts: side-by-side (SBS or left-right), top-bottom (TB or over-under), mono and front-back. Switch between 180-degree and 360-degree projection when a filename is not detected correctly. Actual file playback depends on the video codecs your browser supports.

Private, local-first playback

Your selected video stays on your device. WatchVR reads the local file through the browser and renders the VR view locally; it does not upload the video to our servers. No registration is required. Learn more in the privacy details.
