A Deko360 tour is a sequence of 360° panoramas ("scenes") that a visitor can walk through, jumping between rooms using clickable hotspots. Step 1: Create a tour 1. From your Dashboard, click Create Tour. 2. Give it a name — usually the property address or a short listing title. You can rename it later. Step 2: Upload your panoramas Deko360 works with equirectangular 360° photos (the wide, 2:1 aspect-ratio panoramas produced by 360° cameras and most 360° phone-camera apps) — not regular photos. 1. Open your new tour — you'll land in the Tour Editor. 2. Drag one or more panorama files onto the upload strip at the bottom of the screen, or click it to choose files from your computer. 3. Supported formats are JPEG, PNG, and WebP, up to 100MB per file. 4. Each uploaded panorama becomes a scene. You can upload several at once — one per room or angle you want visitors to be able to visit. After uploading, Deko360 automatically processes each panorama (generating the smooth 360° view and depth data used by the viewer). This takes a little time — you'll see a status indicator on each scene while it's processing, and the scene becomes explorable once it's marked ready. Step 3: Add hotspots to connect your scenes Hotspots are the clickable markers visitors use to move from one scene to another. 1. Select a scene from the strip at the bottom. 2. Click Add Hotspot, then click anywhere on the panorama to place a marker. 3. In the panel on the right, choose which scene that hotspot should link to. 4. Repeat for every doorway or transition point in the panorama — and don't forget to add a hotspot going the other way from the destination scene, so visitors can walk back. See Scenes & Hotspots for the full editing workflow. Step 4: Publish Once your scenes are ready and linked together, publish your tour so it's viewable by anyone with the link. See Publishing Your Tour. Tips for better panoramas - Shoot at a consistent height (chest or eye level) across every room for a natural walk-through feel. - Avoid direct light sources in frame where possible — they can create bright blown-out spots in the panorama. - A tripod produces noticeably cleaner results than handheld shots, especially for the stitching seam.

Publishing Your Tour

A new tour is a draft until you publish it — only you (and your teammates, if you're on a Creator or Agency workspace) can see it while it's a draft. Publishing 1. Open the tour in the editor. 2. Click the Publish button in the top toolbar. 3. Once published, your tour is reachable at its own public link and can be embedded or shared anywhere. The Live / Draft badge next to the tour title always shows the current status. Unpublishing Click the same button (now labeled Unpublish) to take a tour offline again. Unpublishing doesn't delete anything — your scenes, hotspots, and settings are all kept, and you can republish any time. Previewing before you publish Use the Preview button in the editor toolbar to see exactly what visitors will see, in a new tab, before making it public. If your tour was taken down In rare cases (for example, a violation of our content guidelines), a tour may be taken down by our team. A taken-down tour shows a distinct badge and can't be republished from the editor — contact support if you believe this was done in error. What "published" doesn't mean Publishing makes the tour reachable by its link — it doesn't submit it anywhere automatically. To actually get it in front of buyers or renters, share the link or embed it where they'll see it — see Embedding Your Tour and Sharing on Property Portals.

Sharing on Property Portals

Published Deko360 tours embed on any website that accepts an iframe — including real-estate listing portals, alongside your other listing photos. No portal allowlist Unlike some embed tools, Deko360 doesn't restrict embedding to a fixed list of approved sites. Every published tour is embeddable anywhere — the same posture as embedding a YouTube or Vimeo video. If a portal accepts an iframe or embed-code field for its listings at all, a Deko360 tour will work in it. How to add your tour to a listing 1. Publish your tour (see Publishing Your Tour). 2. Copy the embed code from the editor (see Embedding Your Tour). 3. Paste the embed code into the relevant field of your listing on the portal — most portals that support 360° tours have a dedicated "virtual tour" or "embed code" field in their listing form. If a portal doesn't offer a dedicated embed field, you can usually still share the tour's direct link in the listing description as a fallback — it works in any browser without needing to be embedded. If a portal's embed doesn't render Some portals sanitize or strip iframe embeds from user-submitted listing descriptions as a security measure, even when they advertise "virtual tour" support. If your tour doesn't show up after pasting the embed code, try the portal's dedicated virtual-tour URL field (if it has one) instead of a free-text description box, or fall back to sharing the direct tour link. Let us know which portal — we're always looking to improve compatibility.

Working with Scenes & Hotspots

Managing scenes Every panorama you upload becomes a scene in your tour. Scenes appear as a strip of thumbnails along the bottom of the editor. - Select a scene by clicking its thumbnail — it loads into the main viewer above. - Rename a scene by selecting it, then editing the Scene title field in the right-hand panel. - Reorder isn't needed for navigation (hotspots define how visitors move between scenes), but the strip order is the sequence you and your team see while editing. - Delete a scene using the trash icon that appears on hover over its thumbnail. This also removes any hotspots that pointed to it — double-check nothing important still links there first. - Add more scenes any time by dragging new panoramas onto the "+" tile at the end of the strip. Each scene shows a small status indicator while it's uploading and processing (queued → processing → ready). If processing fails, a Reprocess option appears so you can retry — see Troubleshooting Uploads & Processing. Placing hotspots Hotspots are the clickable markers that let a visitor walk from one scene to another. 1. Select the scene you want to add a hotspot to. 2. Click Add Hotspot in the toolbar above the viewer. 3. Click anywhere on the 360° panorama to drop a marker at that spot — typically a doorway, staircase, or opening. 4. In the hotspot list on the right, choose the Destination scene from the dropdown. A hotspot with no destination selected is marked Unlinked — visitors can see the marker but clicking it won't take them anywhere, so make sure every hotspot you place gets a destination. Removing a hotspot Open the hotspot list in the right-hand panel and click the trash icon next to the hotspot you want to remove. Building a walkable tour Think of hotspots as doors: if a visitor can walk from the Living Room into the Kitchen, place a hotspot in the Living Room scene pointing to the Kitchen — and one in the Kitchen scene pointing back to the Living Room. Tours feel best when every connection works both ways. Related guides - Customizing Hotspot Icons - Reprocessing & Fixing Scenes

Reprocessing & Fixing Scenes

After you upload a panorama, Deko360 automatically processes it in the background — this generates the smooth 360° view and depth information the viewer needs. Most scenes finish processing within a couple of minutes. Scene status Each scene shows one of these states: - Queued — waiting for processing to start. - Processing — actively generating the 360° view. - Ready — done; the scene is fully explorable and hotspots can be placed on it. - Failed — something went wrong during processing. If a scene fails to process 1. Select the scene in the editor. 2. Click Reprocess in the right-hand panel to try again. 3. If it fails repeatedly, double-check the source photo: - It should be a genuine equirectangular panorama (2:1 width-to-height ratio), not a cropped or regular photo. - It should be a JPEG, PNG, or WebP file no larger than 100MB. - Very dark, blurry, or heavily corrupted files can also cause processing to fail — try re-exporting or re-shooting the panorama. Re-generating an already-working scene If you're not happy with how a scene turned out (for example, the depth-based effects look off), you can hit Reprocess on any ready scene to regenerate it from the original upload.

Customizing Hotspot Icons

By default, hotspots appear as a simple pulsing dot. You can swap this for a different icon to better match what the hotspot leads to — available on every plan. Choosing an icon for the whole tour 1. Open your tour in the editor. 2. Click on empty space (make sure no scene is selected) so the right-hand panel shows Tour Properties instead of the scene inspector. 3. Under Hotspot Icon, pick from the available icons: Dot, Pin, Arrow, Door, Info, Star, Flag, and Compass. This sets the default icon used by every hotspot in the tour that hasn't been given its own icon. Overriding the icon for a single hotspot You're not limited to one icon per tour — any hotspot can use a different icon from the tour-wide default: 1. Select the hotspot from the hotspot list in the right-hand panel. 2. Under Hotspot Icon (shown in that hotspot's own settings), pick a different icon just for that hotspot. This is useful for mixing icons purposefully — for example, Door for room-to-room transitions and Info for a hotspot that just reveals more detail about the current room. Choosing the right icon - Door works well for room-to-room transitions. - Arrow or Compass suit directional movement, like walking down a hallway. - Info is a good fit if a hotspot leads to more detail rather than a new room. - Pin or Star can highlight a hotspot pointing to a featured space (a pool, a view, a rooftop). Changes apply immediately — you'll see the new icon on the live editor stage, and it updates on your published tour as soon as you save.
