Select the photo or video, give it a caption and upload it. If all has gone to plan, your photo/video should feature a small circular icon in the bottom-righthand corner – this shows that the file has metadata that Facebook can use to reconstruct the 360-degree environment. Once it’s exported, open up the Facebook app and tap the option to upload a photo or video and browse for your 360-degree file. Now, instead of tapping on Facebook or Twitter, select the option to export it as a panorama – this will all make sense soon. Once you’ve captured a 360 photo or video that you’d like to share with your Facebook friends, tap the Share icon in the top-right hand corner. While it’s hard to measure the width of a panoramic photo when taking it in the default Camera app, taking a full-length panoramic shot (until it automatically finishes) via the app should suffice. It’s worth noting, however, that the photos need to be a certain width for Facebook to recognise them as being 360-compatible.
It’s also exclusive to photos, as there’s no way to film a panoramic video via the built-in Camera app.įor iPhone and iPad users, it’s as simple as opening the Camera app, selecting the Panorama shooting mode and capturing a panoramic photo. Users won’t be able to look up and down when looking at your photo on Facebook, but should still be able to pan from left to right by either swiping across the display or by rotating their smartphone, offering a basic level of immersion. While the results may not be as impressive as when using a dedicated 360-degree camera, iOS users can produce decent 360 photos by using the Panorama functionality of the built-in camera app – although there’s a catch. Giving somebody the ability to sit inside a photo or video and physically look around provides a much more enjoyable viewing experience than simply scrolling through your Facebook news feed looking at standard photos and videos.
