I was looking for a way to play YouTube VR Videos on my Oculus Rift S, because there is no easy way to do that with chrome or the oculus store, and I found that Opera Supports playing VR Videos directrly from the browser.
That feature is still listed under "Features" (https://www.opera.com/computer/features) with new screenshots, but whatever I tried I could get it to work. The "Watch in VR" button didn't appear.
Then I found this thread where they said that the feature was removed in version 56 and still works in version 55, so I tested it and it works!
Has the feature been removed and if so why is it still listed on the website, and if not how can I get it to work?

Thanks in advance.

@delivator It seems to be removed. At least I don't see anything related to it in Opera settings.

@leocg But why would they then still list it under features and make screenshots with an up-to date UI?

@delivator That page is no longer mentioned in www.opera.com.

Anyway, they should update it so those who get there by searching don't get confused.

@leocg But they didn't mention in any changelog that they removed the feature, did they? And why?
And then still the question remains why would they make screenshots for a feature with a up to date UI that doesn't exist/got removed?

@delivator I don't remember now If It was mentioned.

And that UI isn't exactly up to date.

@leocg Not up to date but as far as I know version 55 was the last version where this feature was present and that version definitely had a different UI.
Anyways you don't know of any way to enable it / get it to work in newer versions? I really don't wanna use an older version but it looks like that is the easiest way to watch VR YouTube videos on my Oculus Rift right now.
Looked like a really good developed feature and they made a whole video about it.

@delivator Ok I just installed v55 again and it looks like the screenshot could be from this version.

@delivator Sorry, don't know any way to enable it. Maybe it's not possible.
