Video Compatibility

[FergDigital]

Your website states, "Possibilities are endless with WebRotate 360 interactive hot-spots. Images, text, your HTML, or even video." (see pop-up on the toe of the shoe example in the viewer here: http://www.webrotate360.com/360_degree_ ... vices.html - screenshot attached as well). However, I don't find anything about what type of video is supported (is it MOV, WMV, M4V that you upload or is it YouTube or Vimeo that you have to embed or link to) other than there are YouTube and Vimeo incompatibility issues with the latest release (3.5). Can you please let me know what sort of specific video functionality is available?

Hi there! The video reference in the image you attached is based on our HTML hotspots that you can create by inserting your own HTML script into hotspot's Text Content on the Hotspot form and selecting As HTML markup. It's described in our user guide starting on page 20.

So for example you could insert this script with a video:

<div style="width:440px;height:360px;">
<iframe width="430" height="350" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZwL0t5kPf6E" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>

Where iframe is embed snippet copied directly from Youtube. This works fine with one small issue in that when you move your mouse away from the popup box with a video, it will disappear as designed but the video will keep playing on the background if the user already started the playback and didn't hit pause.

Our fix for this is coming out next week (in updated 3.6 beta build)
