# How To Limit The Use Of Mouse Scroll To Zoom Or Drag To Move A Tour

You can limit how a person can use the mouse scroll to zoom or drag to move a scene when taking a virtual tour.

Follow the steps below to either disable mouse scroll zoom control or to disable mouse drag control when taking a virtual tour.

## **Options To Limit Mouse Controls**

**1.** Go to **WPVR** > **Tours** and click on an existing tour. Or create a new tour by clicking on **WPVR** > **Add new tour**.

**2.** So now you are on the Edit mode of the tour. While on the **Settings**tab, click on the **Advanced Controls** tab on top.

Here, you'll find two options for mouse controls:

- **Mouse Zoom Control.**
- **Mouse Drag Control.**

### **Mouse Zoom Control**

The **Mouse Zoom Control** option allows you to zoom in or out on the virtual tour using the mouse scroll.

If you turn it off, then the mouse scroll will have no effect on the tour, i.e. a person will not be able to zoom in and out on the tour using the mouse.

### **Mouse Drag Control**

The **Mouse Drag Control** option lets you click, hold, and drag a scene with your mouse to take a look around.

If you turn it off, then you will not be able to click and hold the tour. Hence, a person taking the tour will not be able to drag the scene using the mouse.

And if you enable this settings you will find the four options.

- **Move up**
- **Move Down**
- **Move Left**
- **Move Right**

You can individually turn on or off each settings to show on the tour. You can change the color and icon for each settings individually.

That’s it, that’s how easily you can limit the use of mouse scroll to zoom or drag to move a tour.
