YouTube stream for a limited number of viewers, the bandwidth in schools will never support large scale use..ie. 20 mr viewers on the same wifi base station with several hundred across the school.
Local hosting may be a better option..using 802.11AC gives smooth running playback.
Editing tools for 360 video(a better term than VR) allows layer overlay of text graphics and animations (AR)
..maybe time to rename the description to mixed realities ie. MR
I have a fairly comprehensive list of resources about the Use of VR to support teaching and learning on this page. http://bit.ly/schrockvr
