Upload 360 degree videos

To watch 360 degree videos, you'll need the latest version of Chrome, Opera or Firefox on your computer. On mobile, use the latest version of the YouTube app for Android or iOS.

YouTube supports uploading and playback of 360 degree spherical videos on desktop Chrome. In order to upload a 360 degree video file, you'll need to modify the file with an app or script before uploading.
You can also watch 360 degree videos on YouTube apps for Android and iOS.  For an immersive experience, you can even watch 360 degree videos with Cardboard and the YouTube Android app.

Create the video

The following 360 cameras are compatible with YouTube and are available today or coming soon:

• Ricoh Theta
• Kodak SP360
• Giroptic 360cam
• IC Real Tech Allie

For the best results, encode your video at a high resolution and according to YouTube's advanced specifications. YouTube currently supports 360 degree videos with 24, 25 or 30 frames per second. Support for higher frame rates is coming soon.
Apart from the above mentioned cameras, 360 degree videos can also be created using custom camera rigs and third party stitching software like Kolor Autopano.

Prepare for upload

Your video file needs to include certain metadata for 360 degree playback to be enabled. Follow these instructions to install an app that will add the necessary metadata into a new file for you.

Create a 360-enabled file with an app

1. Download the 360 Video Metadata app for Mac or Windows

3. Select the video file
4. Click "Inject and save"
5. Enter a name for the file that will be created
6. Save the file. A new file will be created automatically in the same location as the original file

Before publishing, you can verify that the file has 360 degree playback enabled by checking the video by watching it on your computer. It may take up to an hour for 360 degree playback to be available.
360 degree videos feature a pan button in the top left, and can be rotated using the WASD keys, so look for these features to confirm your video is in 360.
Be sure not to make edits to the video itself using the YouTube Video Editor and Enhancements tools on desktop or mobile apps, as these tools don't currently support 360 degree videos.
