How to View 360º Video on a Mobile Phone or Tablet
📱 Viewing and Navigating on Tablet or Phone
On mobile devices, 360º videos become even more intuitive:
• 👆 Swipe the screen with your finger to look around.
• 🤏 Pinch to zoom in or out.
• 📍 Move your device physically- turn, tilt, or point it in any direction, and the video view will follow, using the device’s gyroscope.
• 🌀 You can also use the on-screen navigation wheel in the top-left corner of the YouTube player for extra control.
👉 Tip: Full screen mode gives you the most immersive experience. For the best experience, make sure screen rotation is enabled on your device.
💬 Subtitles and Auto-Translation
All Bulletin Berlin videos include subtitles.
To enable them:
1. Click the “CC” (Closed Captions) button on the video player.
2. Choose your language from the subtitle menu.
3. For auto-translation:
• Click the ⚙ Settings (gear) icon → Subtitles → Auto-translate.
• Select your preferred language from the list.
👉 YouTube’s auto-translate feature works surprisingly well for panel discussions.
⚙ Quality Settings
For the best viewing experience, especially with 360º video, use the highest quality available:
1. Click the ⚙ Settings (gear) icon on the player.
2. Select Quality → choose “Auto” or manually select the highest resolution available (e.g. 2160s / 4K).
3. If your internet is fast, selecting 4K will give a sharper image and smoother navigation.
👉 If the video looks blurry, check that YouTube hasn’t defaulted to a lower resolution.
