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.
