For creators

Getting startedGetting started with the Creator studioA quick tour of the three creator surfaces: your courses, your destinations, and your media library, plus where to go when you get stuck.
Upload filesUpload media, including 360 photos and videoHow the media uploader works: picking the right kind, Insta360 .insp and .insv support, batch limits, and why files must reach Ready before you can use them.
Organize mediaOrganize media by tourKeep each tour's media in its own library: assign files on the destination page, filter and bulk-assign from the media page, and auto-add everything your scenes already use.
HotspotsEdit hotspots on a scenePlace clickable markers inside a 360 scene: informational content, external links, or links to another tour, with the click-to-place editor.
Ambient SoundAdd ambient sound to a sceneGive each scene a looping bed of room tone, birdsong, or gallery hum that crossfades as visitors walk between rooms.
Scavenger HuntsBuild a scavenger hunt through your tourTurn a tour into something a visitor plays: add stops in order, pick how each one opens, clear the checks that block publishing, and share the link.
Easter EggsHide easter eggs, locked doors and clue chains with keysKeys are the single mechanic behind every hidden thing in a tour: what they unlock, where you can set them today, and why they are not a security control.
GPS StopsUnlock a stop when the visitor arrivesPut a scene on the map, gate a stop on being there, pick a radius that actually works, and understand exactly what does and does not leave the visitor's phone.
Hunt MapThe stop map visitors see on a huntWhat the hunt map draws, why it has no streets, and how it differs from the floor-plan mini-map in the corner of your tour.
Rename a tourUpdate a tour's name and descriptionEdit a destination's name, description, location, links, and styling from the Edit details form, and know which field changes the public URL.
MomentsShow a place at different times with momentsGive a tour a timeline (1998 and now, setup and finish night) so visitors can switch time without moving, and keep that time as they walk.
DuplicateDuplicate a scene or a whole tourCopy a scene as a starting point for a nearby spot, or copy a whole tour to make a variation, without rebuilding hotspots and arrows.
Hotspot mediaShow a photo or video from a hotspotMake a hotspot open a close-up photo, a short video, or a YouTube clip in a pop-up, with alt text and transcripts so everyone gets it.
Photo + videoMix 360 photo and 360 video scenes in one tourPut 360 photos and 360 videos in the same tour; visitors walk between them with a brief reload when they cross from one kind to the other.
Bulk create scenesCreate a whole tour's scenes at onceTurn every 360 file you have assigned to a tour into scenes in one step, instead of filling in the new-scene form once per room.
Arrival viewMake visitors face the right way when they walk inChoose which direction the camera points when someone arrives from a particular scene, so moving through your tour feels like walking rather than teleporting.
Hide the tripodStop visitors looking down at the tripod or the person holding the cameraSet the lowest angle visitors can look in a scene, so the tripod, the selfie stick, or the camera operator under the lens stays off screen. Works on 360 photos and 360 video.
Hide peopleBlur people, faces, and the tripod out of a 360 photoBox out bystanders, blur or pixelate faces, cover the tripod with a patch, or remove people with generative AI (labeled for visitors), then save the edit as a new photo that replaces the original everywhere it appears. For privacy, this is the tool to use.
Format descriptionsAdd formatting to a tour or course descriptionUse bold, italics, links, and bullet lists in destination and course descriptions to give them some personality.
Connect scenesConnect scenes from one listSee every path between your scenes on one page, add connections with an automatic return trip, and find rooms that nothing leads to.
Tour mapGive visitors a you-are-here mapAdd a mini-map to your tour so visitors always know where they are: use a floor plan you upload, or a built-in background with automatic layout.
