In this video, join author Richard Harrington as he walks through how to publish VR and 360˚ content to YouTube.
- One of the most popular platforms … for sharing 360 degree video, … or really any video online, … is going to be YouTube. … And Google was an early adopter. … Francis, earlier, showed you … how Google Street View was used for virtual tours. … And of course the YouTube player … also supports VR content, … but it needs to be optimized, right Francis? … We can't just upload raw camera data most of the time. … - No, you have to be able, … you have to stitch them together … so that way YouTube knows what to upload. … If you just have two side-by-side, … circular, fish-eye lenses together, … YouTube's not going to know what to do with that. … - [Instructor] Okay, nor can you upload … if there was multiple cards, … it has to be edited first on the computer. … So, here I have a shot … from an early generation consumer camera. … This is the Theta. … And we definitely have those two lenses here. … And it's going to get confused by this type of footage, right? … - [Francis] Yeah, it's just going to look at it as one video. …
