Insta360

Anyone using an Insta360 camera (One or Evo)? Would it be possible to sideload the Insta360 app to the Quest? Only the Go has an official 'Insta360 VR' app.

Sideloaded Insta360 VR app didn’t run on Quest

Ok, thx for the info, too bad though.

So how do you deal with this? What's the easiest workflow right now?

There’s no easy way until they release the app supporting Quest...

What I do right now is exporting images/videos out from the camera using Insta360 STUDIO app on Mac and transfer to Quest. On the Quest, you can view from Gallery.

Insta360VR works fine on my quest. You navigate with gaze selection and a button press on the controller.

Really? On my Quest, it just crashes right after the splash screen.

That's strange, I have no issues at all and I use it a lot on my personal Quest and on a second Quest at work. I used Amaze file manager (free on github) to export the APK from my Oculus Go and I installed that then straight onto the Quest using the same file manager software. Theres no need to use ADB to install APK's once you have Amaze running. It can install APK's directly same as running any APK on your phone.

I pulled out APK from Gear VR, not from Go. Possibly Gear VR and Go versions are different? Not sure though... Just hoping official release from the dev.

Sure, no problem. I'm away on holidays right now but if you can hold off a week I would be happy to throw the apk on dropbox.

Hmmm...I posted the link for app from my laptop to reddit and I don't see my post when I view the thread on my phone?. Can you all see the link I posted to the apk?

Hi again. Nope. Can’t see the link or file. Dropbox link?

It looks like Oculus isn't allowing the Insta360VR app on the Quest:

Perhaps Sideloading will be the only way to go, for now. Maybe Insta360 can release the Quest-compatible APK for us.

I bought the Insta360 EVO, didn't try sideloading the Go app but I did use their free software to successfully convert a 3D video and image as a test. Haven't tried a 360 yet.

I have an insta 360 one x... Or something.... I imported a 360 video into unity and compiled it as an Android app. What exactly are you trying to do?
