How to make a virtual tour online using My360 Property Virtual Tours

So you bought your awesome Ricoh Theta S, SC or V camera, your Samsung Gear, an Insta360 or any other single shot 360 camera plus of course any DSLR Camera, but now you have to make a virtual tour and you realise…. the camera does not actually do that for you!  so the question is: How to make a virtual tour online…???

You need a Virtual Tour software to do this for you, and you’re in luck today because we have the best virtual tour software available on the market at this time! (and we’re so modest don’t you think?).

So  let’s get straight in and show you how to make a virtual tour online using the My360 software in just a few easy steps.

We assume you already know how your camera works and how to process your images (if needed) and you have taken some lovely shots.

Here’s the quick guide for those that don’t like reading manuals at all… (We hear ya!)

1. Log into My360
2. Click on “Overview”
3. Click on “Add new”
4. Complete the form
5. Click “Add spheres”
6. Click “Choose files”
7. Click “Upload all” (when you are done choosing all your files)
8. Wait for the upload to finish (IMPORTANT)
9. Click on “view spheres” (wait for them to process)
10. Re-name the images
11. Click the tab “Virtual Tours”
12. Click “New Virtual Tour” then click “Skip & Go”

The My360 software of course has many other features that are not included in the above guide, such as the choice between different arrows, adding a video to your tour, adding single images & text to your tour, making the tour limited to just a few clicks, adding an info menu, changing colours, adding logos and nadir images etc. etc (I could go on, but who’s got time for that… click here to see the full list of features)

If you would like to take it a little slower (we hear you too… slow’s good!) Here’s the same steps but now with pictures…

6. Choose your images and click “open”

8. Wait for the upload to finish (IMPORTANT) – you can leave the page again when all your images have a check mark.

9. Click on “view spheres”

10. Wait until your images have been processed ( this can take up to 10 minutes depending on how many images you uploaded – if you don’t see a change refresh the page, this should do the trick!):

11. Re-name the images (you might think this is unnecessary, but trust us, you’ll be glad you did that at a later stage!)

12. Click the tab “Virtual Tours” and then “+ New Virtual Tour”

13. Give your tour a name – a new window will open for the Virtual Tour Editor – click “Skip & Go” (or watch the tutorial)

17. click “save”

18. Drag the blue ball to your screen

19. Choose the arrow

20. Reposition the arrow in the side screen

21. Select a destination scene (seriously, those image names do come in handy right!?)

22. Click “GoTo” (A reverse hotspot will be created automatically – you might have to reposition the reverse hotspot in the next scene)

23. Repeat the previous steps until all your images are connected. then click “Publish Tour”

24. Click “go to tour”

25. Copy the embed code to put the virtual tour on your website or portals or a friends site or wherever you like:
