## **Embedding A 360 Video From Youtube Or Vimeo**

**1.** Go to **Dashboard > WPVR** and click on **Add New Tour.** And assign the tour a suitable name.

You will get the option to Enable video. Turn it on.

**3.** Once turned on, you will get the options called **"Autoplay"**, **"Loop"** and **"Upload or Add Link"**.

Here, you have to provide the video link for **Youtube** or **Vimeo**.

**4.** Next, go to a **Youtube 360 Video** that you want to embed and click on **Share**.

**5.** A pop-up will appear. In this window, please copy the video link, ensuring that you only copy the portion of the link up to the video ID. Kindly refer to the screenshot below for guidance.

**7.** Now decide if you wish to enable "**Autoplay**"

- **Autoplay -**
  Turning this On will mean that the video will start playing the moment a person loads the page. If not turned on, a person will have to click on the video to play.

** The **Loop** feature is only used for a self-hosted 360 video. So you just keep it as it is when embedding a Youtube or Vimeo 360 video.

***You will also notice that there is a button called **Upload**. That is used when you wish to embed a self-hosted 360 video. We will guide you with a self-hosted video on another doc, so for now, you don't need to worry about this button.*

**8.** Once you have the video link in place, click on Preview to get a preview on the right side.

Then you can **Publish** the tour.

**9.** You can then embed it on a page or a post using the ID or a shortcode, given below the Video Settings.
