Upload 180- or 360-degree videos

1. Stitch the file using either stitching software that comes with the camera or separate 180° or 360° stitching software.
2. Use editing software to ensure the sequence settings are in VR and match your source footage.

Some tips:

• Encode your video at a high resolution.
• Make sure your video follows YouTube's advanced specifications.

To upload a 180° or 360°  video file, you'll need to modify the file with an app like Adobe Premiere (2019 or higher) or script before uploading. Learn more about uploading 360° or for 180° .

Before publishing, you can verify that the file has 360° playback enabled by watching the video on your computer. It may take up to an hour for 360° playback to be available.

360° videos feature a pan button in the top left, and can be rotated using the WASD keys, so look for these features to confirm your video is in 360°. You can also swipe through a video by clicking and dragging through the space.
