Short, practical notes on 360° tours — rendering projects, choosing a resolution and getting the most out of a link.
API reference
The Enterprise API: authentication and scopes, tours, scene uploads, publishing, projects, statistics, webhooks with signed deliveries, error codes and a worked example.
Your first tour in 10 minutes
Create a project, drop in your 360° images, link the rooms, publish and share one link. Every step with the exact buttons, in about ten minutes.
How to shoot a home with a 360° camera
Camera height, HDR, the doorway shot, file naming and the right export. A shot list for a two-bedroom flat you can finish in twenty minutes.
Can I make a 360° tour with my phone?
An honest answer. Some phone apps save a full 2:1 sphere that Prewalk accepts, but stitching seams and soft detail show when buyers zoom.
Export a 360° render from your render software
Camera type spherical, output 2:1, 8K or 16K, top-bottom stereo for VR. The one setting to change in Blender, V-Ray, Corona, Lumion, Enscape, Twinmotion and D5.
Linking rooms: hotspots, opening view and the start scene
Hotspots are one-way, so every doorway needs two. Where to drop them, the six shapes, the four transitions, and why the opening view is also your cover.
Embed a tour, a project or your portfolio on your website
Copy the code from the Share tab and paste it into WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow or plain HTML. When to use Fixed height, and what the Prewalk line is.
Public, link-only or password: what publishing does
Where a public tour appears, what link-only hides, how password protection works, and what happens to likes, comments and credits when you unpublish.
How to view a Prewalk tour
For visitors: drag to look around, tap a ring to walk, use the strip to jump between rooms, turn your phone to look, and open the tour in VR on a Meta Quest.
Prepare renders, photos and floor plans for a project page
Image formats and sizes for the Gallery, how order and the cover work, captions and alt text, and how to make a floor plan with pins that open the right room.
Write a title, description and tags that get found
A title pattern that reads well in Explore and search, what belongs in the description, which category to pick, and how tags and location get their own pages.
A portfolio profile that gets clients
Avatar, a 360° cover, a 300-character bio you can write in five minutes, your website, three pinned works, and how Explore and badges show your profile.
Share a tour: WhatsApp, listing portals, email signature and QR
Which of the two links to send, how the preview image appears on WhatsApp and LinkedIn, putting the link on a portal, and how big to print the QR code.
Team and company accounts
When to create a company account, the three roles, inviting members, what Working as means, why content stays with the company, and brand profiles on Office.
Add videos to a project
Which MP4 files a project accepts, export presets for HandBrake, Premiere and Resolve, and how project videos differ from the YouTube card in a tour.
Info points, labels and links inside a tour
The five content items in the palette, how to place and edit them, when to use an info point instead of a label, and which ones show in shared tours on Free.
Credits: tag the studio, accept a credit
How to credit the people behind a project, what the tagged person sees, how accepted credits fill a Credits tab, and why private work stays silent.

360° photos vs 3D scans: which do you need?
