Hello,

New to this forum, I would like to thank the whole community and PANO2VR developpers for the great tools developped and also the wide community sharing tips!

I am trying to integrate 360videos through Youtube links hotspots. I use the Point Hotspot "Video" type with Youtube as the source.
When I open it on a computer it would work absolutely fine and plays the 360 youtube player, but if I open it on a mobile device (IPhone or Android) the Youtube viewer would not play the 360 video but the flat equirectangular one instead.

Would you have any solution or workaround?
Thank you!

Benoit

Hi Benoit,
Unfortunately, YouTube only allows 360 videos to be displayed using the mobile app.
We have tried in the past opening in an iframe etc but it does not work.
Note this is for iOS, on an Android you see the 360 videos, so may even be an iOS restriction rather than YouTube.
