Project Settings

The project settings allow you to customize your welcome window and turn on/off the panorama thumbnails.

The welcome window is automatic and pops up when when opening a tour, like this. ➡️

All virtual tours default to pano thumbnails across the bottom of the tour. These can be useful to quickly visit all the 360 spaces in a tour but also can feel less immersive because the learners aren’t moving through the spaces but rather jumping across them.

<aside> 👍 Removing the thumbnails and using pano hotspots is a good strategy to create a more immersive experience!

This tour definitely needs a second draft if it wants to be more explorative! 👀 Viewers would just click through the panos and not wander through. Also, look at that hotspot dump - information overload!
