# How to Set Custom Zoom Settings in WPVR

When creating a virtual tour with [**WPVR**](https://rextheme.com/wpvr/), you may want to control how **zoomed-in** or **zoomed-out** the view is when a scene loads or how much users can zoom in/out.

[**WPVR Pro**](https://rextheme.com/wpvr/) allows you to **customize zoom settings** at two levels:

- For the entire tour
- For each scene individually

This guide will walk you through both options. Let's get started.

## Set Custom Zoom Settings For The Entire Virtual Tour

If you want to apply the same zoom settings across all scenes in a tour, you can use the **global zoom options** available in the tour setting.

### Steps:

1. Navigate to **WPVR > All Tours** and edit an existing tour (or create a new one).
2. Go to **Settings > Advanced Controls**
3. Scroll down to the **Set Zoom Preferences** section and Enable it.
4. Now You can Set your preferred **Default Zoom**, **Max Zoom**, and **Min Zoom**.

*** These global settings will apply to all scenes **unless you override them with scene-level zoom settings.***

After enabling the **Set Zoom Preferences** option, Three new options will appear:

- **Default Zoom.**
- **Max Zoom.**
- **Min Zoom.**

### i.**Set Default Zoom For The Entire Tour**

When a viewer is loading your tour, it will load with the default zoom value that you've set up.

You can set this value from **50** to **120**.

50 is the most zoomed in view and **120** is the most zoomed out view.

Suppose, you want to load the tour with maximum zoomed out view, then you have to set it as **120**.

### ii.**Set Zoom Out Limit For The Entire Tour**

To set a zoom out limit on your tour, you have to use the **Max Zoom** option.

When viewers are navigating a scene, they can zoom out to the limit you've set up. You can also set this value from **50** to **120**.

Suppose, you've set the **Default Zoom** to **100**, then you have to set the **Max Zoom** from **100** to **120**.

***Do not set the **Max Zoom** value lower than the **Default Zoom** value.*

### iii.**Set Zoom In Limit For The Entire Tour**

To set a zoom in limit on your scene, you have to use the **Min Zoom** option.

When viewers are navigating a scene, they can zoom in to the limit you've set up.

You can also set this value from **50** to **120**.

Suppose, you've set the **Default Zoom** to **100**, then you have to set the **Min Zoom** from **50** to **100**.

***Do not set the **Min Zoom** value greater than the **Default Zoom** value.*

***You can set different **Min Zoom** on each scene of a virtual tour.*

That's it. This is how you can set custom zoom settings on your Entire virtual tour.

## Set Custom Zoom Settings For Individual Scenes

If you’d like more control over how each scene appears, WPVR Pro allows you to set custom zoom preferences for individual scenes.

### Steps:

1. Edit your tour and go to the **Scenes** tab.
2. Choose the specific scene you want to customize.
3. Scroll down to find the **Customize Scene Zoom** option.
4. Once enabled, you’ll see three settings: **Default Zoom**, **Max Zoom**, and **Min Zoom**—just like the global settings.

Once enabled, you’ll see the same three options available as in the tour-level settings:

- **Default Zoom** (controls the initial zoom level when this scene loads)
- **Max Zoom** (limits how far users can zoom out the scene)
- **Min Zoom** (limits how far users can zoom in)

Each of these follows the same value range and logic as the global tour settings:

- **50** is the most zoomed-in view
- **120** is the most zoomed-out view
- Be sure that the **Max Zoom** is not set lower than the **Default Zoom**, and the **Min Zoom** is not set higher.

This feature is especially useful when different scenes require different zoom perspectives—for example, zooming in on smaller rooms or zooming out for wide outdoor views.

That's it. Now start exploring these settings and make your virtual tours truly immersive!
