You can find out below how to enjoy using websites that support the Oculus Quest and where to find VR content on the web.

Although performing an internet search is a simple task, doing so in virtual reality can lead to you hitting your head or hands-on something if there are objects in your play-space. You may need to adjust your head to see a web page better or move your hand while typing with the controller, so make sure that there aren't any objects that you could potentially bump into while immersed inside of the Oculus Quest 2 headset.

Locate The Oculus Browser App

Unlike other gaming consoles, Oculus has created a unique browser called the Oculus Browser that comes with every Oculus Quest 2 headset. To access this app, make sure that your headset is connected to a WiFi source and search for the app in the search bar.

Type in the search bar "Oculus Browser," and you will quickly find the app. Select the app with your controller, and it will immediately launch you into the Oculus Browser homepage as long as you have a stable internet connection. Another way to access the Oculus Browser is through a button on the menu that pops up whenever you press the Home button.

There are many websites that you may want to search for while using the internet, including guides that can help you solve puzzles or combat trials in your virtual reality video games.

These include social media websites such as Facebook and Instagram, among other common web pages.

If none of these websites are what you're looking for, then type the website's link in the search bar above to find other websites on the internet. You can also create bookmarks on websites to return to them quickly during your next internet search session by selecting the bookmark icon while browsing a webpage. Bookmarks appear on the homepage of the Oculus Browser.

How To Launch YouTube

One of the most important reasons you may want to search the internet is to watch YouTube videos. However, you don't have to use the Oculus Browser to watch YouTube. Instead, you can launch the YouTube VR app by searching for the app through the home screen search bar or through your app library. You may have to download the Youtube VR app before you can start using the application.

The Oculus Browser allows you to enter VR by selecting the headset icon on the sidebar of the video screen, similar to where you can find the play/pause and volume adjustment icons on a YouTube video. After selecting this icon, the headset will transport you into virtual reality.

How To Find Virtual Reality Experiences

There are many websites on the Oculus Browser that you can use to view unique VR experiences. However, the easiest way to access VR experiences is by browsing for them under the "From The Web" section at the bottom of the Oculus Browser homepage, which displays many free experiences for you to choose from. Many of the experiences are also interactive, similar to video games. If you don't want to purchase new games, then the experiences under the "From The Web" section and other similar websites are some of the most fun ways to use your Oculus Quest headset.
