For now, the support is only available for desktop Chrome and Android app and would reach iPhone, iPad and other mobile devices in future. The firm is also seen to be rolling out some changes in its YouTube app UI.

Viewers can pan and see other angles in 360-degree videos on Android by moving the handset around. It can be also done on the YouTube website or in the embedded videos on desktop with Chrome by clicking the mouse on the video and dragging to the desired angle.
