Watching 360 videos on Vimeo
Vimeo has a great 360 video help section on their website with desktop and mobile viewing tips (including google cardboard and mobile headset). To watch videos from your mobile device download the Vimeo app from Google Play or App Store.
Choose a quality of at least 1080p or better if your internet bandwidth allows. Switch to a lower quality if frequent buffering occurs during playback.
On desktop, you can explore a 360 video by click & drag (mouse) or with your arrow keys or touchpad.
For mobile viewing start playback in either vertical or horizontal mode, then move/tilt your device or drag the screen with your finger to navigate the scene. To enable headset playback, tap the headset icon within the player on the Vimeo app (the screen splits into two smaller screen). Then insert your phone into your cardboard or headset viewer for an immersive experience.
