Watch your favorite shows and movies from a virtual reality living room.
Oculus TV has launched for the Oculus Go. This brings a fun and immersive way to watch your favorite shows and movies right from a living room setup in virtual reality (VR). The app was originally announced at F8 2018 and is now available to the public. On top of this epic release, Reddit user Colonel_Izzi has discovered that you can use this app to side loadstandard Android apps to your Oculus Go through it. If you’re interested in that, click the link below to see how. Otherwise, continue and we’ll show you how to use Oculus TV!
How to get started

The first thing you want to do is get the Oculus TV app installed to your device. To do this, you want to head over to the Oculus Store page and download it. You can make this process even easier by saying, “Hey Oculus, show me Oculus TV” and your device will load up the page for you! After you have the app installed to your Oculus Go, open it up and get the show started.
Using the app

To use Oculus TV, it will require you to download most of the apps you want to use within it. Some of the apps, listed below, will close you out of Oculus TV and launch you into the main apps. Whether this is on purpose or a glitch, we’re not sure, but we’ll keep you posted on updates.
Open Oculus TV.
Select the service you would like to watch.
When the selection opens press “Download.”
After it is finished installing, select “Watch.”
Most of the selections in the “Whats on now” section won’t require a download. These are the live TV options they have available for you. Anything from your Facebook videos to Red Bull TV can just be loaded up from your device where you can start watching all of the content they have to show.
