The ability to save panoramas in "Accessible by link" is not provided by the free plan. Subscribe to one of the paid plans to use this option.
Translated from Russian
Good afternoon!
Tell me, does the free plan provide for making panoramas available via links without publishing on the site?
If yes, how to move from drafts to "Accessible by link"?
It didn't work out of the blue
Anton, if the payment does not go through, you can use other methods of replenishing the balance described here:
https://truevirtualtours.com/article/earn-coins
Thanks
Hello Roman!
Tell me, how can I replenish the balance of coins? The payment system that now processes payments does not accept cards (I believe this is due to sanctions on banks in the Russian Federation).
Thanks for the answer!
Yuri, thank you very much for your comment. I'll try to update soon.

Hello!
In the description in the column "Date of shooting" is not the actual date of shooting, but the date of creation (publication) on the site, which is somewhat confusing. For example, the panorama is summer, and the shooting date is winter. In my opinion, this incorrectness can be corrected in two ways. The first (more difficult) - when registering, enter an additional column to fill in the "Date of shooting". The second is to simply change the title, such as Publication Date, Issue Date, etc.
Yusupov-eh, thank you for your message. The problem should be fixed.

Hello!
Registered for the service. In the settings, it does not give the opportunity to choose a specialization (you can put photos-firtual 3D tours).
Without this, it is impossible to continue working with panorama
Step 4 - specialization
Choose a few areas in which you are an expert. This will help your potential customers find you more easily.
V.perebasova, your page has been fixed. Thanks for reporting the problem

Hello!
Registered for the service. When you go to the profile, the site says that the page was not found. At the same time, I can add panoramas and 3D tours
Vilema.ru, thanks for the question. The ability to change the profile link has been added. You can now change your profile link in your profile settings. For this feature to be available to you, you may need to clear your browser cache. If you have any further questions, please send me a private message. Thanks again!
Translated from RussianHello, how can I change my profile link?
Translated from RussianHello Gabriella Cagnoni, thank you very much for informing about this problem. I've fixed your tour and I will fix the website so that problem never happened again. Thank you again for your comment.
Good evening, my virtual tour is still present on my profile, I wanted to make a change but the screen remains black and trying to watch it on another device the same happens, that is you cannot see it.
Hello Ok-fotograf.ru. The subscription fee is charged for one month. If you need to switch to Start or a free subscription, just click the go button. Your subscription will be changed to Start when your current subscription expires.
Thanks for reporting the "Internal Server Error" issue. I will send you a private message for more details.
Roman, uploaded a panorama, I can not translate it into "published". Writes - an internal server error occurred. And so you "chase" it between a draft and published. And at some point she changes status.
Translated from RussianRoman, good evening. Tell. I subscribed to Start. And then accidentally clicked on "professional". But I don't need him. Tell me, how can I return to the Start tariff?
Translated from Russian
Good day! Thanks for your question. Yes, information about the changes was published in the section About the project - Site updates and also on our pages in social networks. See the Rate Changes article for more information about the changes (https://truevirtualtours.com/en/article/changes-to-truevirtualtours-rates).
All panoramas posted on the site in paid accounts until January 31, 2022 will also be posted at no additional charge. A subscription is not required to post such panoramas. Any payment for viewing panoramas and virtual tours has been canceled, and payment for using each individual function has also been canceled. However, a subscription is required to use the site's additional functionality.
These changes will allow us to use faster AWS S3 cloud storage for your panoramas, as well as continue to work on improving the service. Please write if you have any more questions. I will answer with pleasure!
Roman, good afternoon. Am I probably missing something? I posted links to my panoramas on the Map. Now I can't do it. You need to subscribe to the Start package. I can't find anything about it on the site. Despite the fact that most of my panoramas have the status of commercial. Those. I cry for them...
Translated from RussianDem0, thanks for the comment. Ask your question here: https://truevirtualtours.com/article/360-panoramas-faq or perhaps write to one of the photographers on the site. Also, see if your question is answered in the "Help Center" section: https://truevirtualtours.com/article/help-center.
Translated from Russian
Can you ask a question not about the site's work, but just how to a more experienced 360-photographer?
So to speak, ask for advice.
The issue with opening tours on iOS mobile devices in the Safari browser should be fixed. Chazi, thanks again. If something doesn't work correctly, please report it.
Translated from RussianChazi, thanks for reporting the issue. We will try to fix it as soon as possible.
Translated from RussianGood afternoon. Customers with iPhones began to complain en masse that they stopped opening virtual tours (endless panorama upload window). Everything worked before. The problem is only seen on iOS. Tell me how you can fix this, please.
Translated from RussianThank you, Roman. It was me who opened them. But from an outside gadget, no. I just haven't checked. Thanks again..
Translated from RussianCHOICE Estate, panoramas in the "Draft" status should be available only to the owner of the panorama when he is authorized on the site. Send me a link to this panorama via personal messages, if it is still available to others, I will check
Translated from RussianRoman, good afternoon. Tell me if there is a possibility .. If the panorama is available via a link, without removing the panorama from the site, cancel this access? Those. so that people who have this link cannot see the panorama .. I tried to change the "access by link" to "draft", but you can still see the panorama by the link ..
Translated from RussianGood afternoon, PREOBRAZOVATEL. I answered you via personal chat.
Translated from RussianHello, please tell me how to change the mail, otherwise I lost access to the old one.
Translated from RussianHello Denis. Replied to you via personal messages. thanks
Translated from RussianWhy can't I upload a panorama?
Translated from RussianGood afternoon, TOR_GROUP. I saw the problem. Thank you for report. I will write to you separately as soon as it will be fixed.
Translated from RussianOn a virtual tour, when opening from a phone, information points do not open. They open normally from a computer, but they tried different phones and nothing pops up anywhere. Maybe I missed something?
Translated from RussianGood day! How long are commercial and free tours stored on the server?
Translated from RussianRoman, thank you for your prompt response to my proposal.
Translated from RussianIuspas, thank you very much for your feedback on the site and great work! The Landscape Photography specialization is still available.
Translated from RussianThank you very much for your site. For the first time I began to master panoramas from March-April of this year, and just perked up when it became possible to post my works, and not view them only in viewers. Since I am mainly engaged in landscape photography, I would like to see it in the list of specializations, otherwise I have to "bend my heart" and choose reportage photography, in which landscapes are casually marked.
Translated from Russian9202022646, you can save your panoramas to your computer. To do this, go to the panorama editing mode, in the panel on the right, click the "panorama file" button, and then "download link". Coins are debited from your account for using the function.
Translated from RussianHello! Can you please tell me if I can save the panoramas created here on my computer?
Translated from RussianRoman, thank you very much. And then it flew out of my head ...
Translated from RussianGood day. Yes, a second card can be added using the "add card" button. This button can be found in the virtual tour editing mode (when the panel on the right is open).
Translated from RussianRoman, good afternoon. You have made it possible to place the captured panoramas on the map and I am actively using this opportunity. But now the need arose to make a "second map" with panoramas. And I completely forgot how to do it. (Please remind me. Or tell me where to look. I beg your pardon, but this happens too ..)
Translated from RussianDeclan, thank you for contacting us. The problem was solved. If you have any more questions, please write.
Translated from RussianI just wish to share unlisted panoramas for the moment, can I do this? regards Declan Burke
CHOICE Estate, the problem needs to be fixed, please check. And thank you very much for such a detailed description and help in fixing it!
Translated from Russian
Roman, good afternoon. The problem arose "not yesterday." But only now I decided
describe it to you. Thanks to the fact that you made it possible to place the captured panoramas on the map, I actively use this opportunity. You have provided a number of icons that can be used to mark the panorama map. I took the opportunity to make my own badge. Its dimensions are 313x313. 300 dpi, PNG. I sent it to your site and it appeared in a new section among the icons you provided. All your panoramas are located on the map. I mark with this icon. I have Mac OS Catalina, Safari 14.0.3 ..
And now the problem.
I set the icon to mark the new panorama on the map. I start editing it and all the icons of the previously marked panoramas disappear (visually). No, icons and panoramas don't disappear anywhere. I just stop visually seeing the icons marking the panoramas on the map. Erasing the cache, restarting the computer does not help. If I open the map on my phone
iPhone 11 iOS 14 or iPad 4 2019 iOS 14 tablet everything is in order there. At the company (where I work), we have embedded a link to this map on our website. And through our site, the map opens normally and the icons are all visible. It seems to me that the problem appeared after the next Safari update. I don't remember any more. One more little detail. Only MY badges disappear. If I use the icons provided by you, they do not disappear.
Good afternoon, Artem. I answered you in a personal message.
Translated from RussianHello, please tell me how to change the mail, otherwise I lost access to the old one.
Translated from RussianThank you, Roman!
Translated from RussianKatya, you can embed a virtual tour on your website. To do this, go to the virtual tour editing mode, and then click the "Embed / Share" button in the panel that opens on the right. In the dialog that opens, you will see the HTML code that can be used on your website to embed a virtual tour.
Translated from RussianDanil.kremen. Thanks for the question. The point is that this functionality is not available now. I'll fix this within a week.
Translated from RussianCan you please tell me, can I somehow embed the 3d tour I created here on my website?
Translated from RussianGood afternoon, can you please tell me why the Website, Twiter, Facebook windows are not active in my profile settings, I can’t fill them in, maybe what needs to be done for this?
Translated from RussianThank you so much for your updates Roman !!
Hi Muhammed, thank you for your question. I can add a settings feature that allows changing auto-rotation speed to the virtual tour and panorama editor within about 10 days. Once this functionality will be ready I will let you know in personal messages. Thank you
Hi, I have just joined True virtual tours today, and I like this platform to showcase my panoramic tours. I have a question that Can I adjust the auto-rotation speed?
Thanks in advance
Update. Now you can fund your coin account by posting good works on the site. Take part in the competition and get guaranteed coins to your account. Details here https://truevirtualtours.com/en/article/contest.
Translated from RussianGood afternoon, CHOICE Estate. I saw the problem. Will be fixed within 30 minutes. Thank.
Translated from RussianRoman, good afternoon. I can't figure out what happened. Loading a panorama. I want to copy the link to it, but this "tool" (it was at the bottom of the panorama) is missing. The browser was overloaded, the cache was cleaned.
Translated from RussianMarionPhotography.ca. The ability to hide the logo and control buttons for the panorama should be available. More details here: https://truevirtualtours.com/article/hide-logo-hide-controls. Thank!
Translated from RussianThank you MarionPhotography.ca, for your question. We will add a setting that will give you the ability to hide the control buttons and name/avatar. These features should be available by the end of this month I think. I will notify you as soon as they will be available to use. Thanks again.
Hi there, I just signed on today. I really like your service. Is there a way to edit or remove thy player controls and my name/avatar from the player? I am interested in hosting single pano images with no need for navigation. Thanks in advance.
Good afternoon, Julia. Good question, thanks.
New panoramas appear with enviable regularity. Over the past 7 days, about 200 new panoramas have been uploaded. It became clear that it was not possible to check such a large number of panoramas.
Initially, it was planned to use coins in order to facilitate the development of the project, and checking the quality of panoramas does not contribute to this. Currently, receiving coins for checking panoramas of other users is disabled. Checking panoramas also affects the panorama rating and publication in public sections. For the most part, this tool now reminds authors of the importance of improving the quality of work. In the future, the rating of works will be increasingly influenced by the automatic verification of the characteristics of panoramas and virtual tours.
Nevertheless, coins can be obtained for articles, and for viewing articles about virtual tours and spherical panoramas. Coins are credited automatically (details here: https://truevirtualtours.com/en/article/articles-earning).
There is a list of topics for articles that I would like to see on the site in the first place. In more detail I could piss in a personal message, if it is interesting.
Thanks again
Good day. Previously, it was possible to check the panoramas of other participants in order to earn coins for unloading their own. Now there is no such function ?? or just nobody loads new ones?
Translated from RussianThanks, Konstantin. If you have questions, please contact.
Translated from RussianRoman, thanks for the comprehensive answer. I'll try to figure it out. Nice to meet you, my name is Konstantin
Translated from RussianKect2006, to share a virtual tour through an iframe, you can use the Embed / Share dialog. In the virtual tour editing mode, click the "Embed / Share" button (the button is under the description of the virtual tour in the right panel). There you will find code for embedding a virtual tour in HTML.
Translated from RussianRegarding signatures to transition points between panoramas on mobile devices. Thanks so much for the comment. We will try to implement in the near future. All functional updates on the site are published in our VKontakte group: https://vk.com/truevirtualtours
Translated from Russian
Kect2006, Sorry, I do not know your name. Thank you very much for writing about your feelings from your first acquaintance with the service. This will help us make it more understandable and easy to use in the future. I understand your surprise when payment was made for using additional functionality. It should be obvious on the site what additional features of the site are charged and which can be used for free. This will definitely be fixed.
Unlike other services, TrueVirtualTours does not have a monthly subscription, that is, users do not need to pay for the additional features of virtual tours that are not used. But if the functionality is used, then you need to pay for it only once, which is significantly cheaper than on other services. If you think that this is not so, please write to me in a personal message. In the near future it is planned to add more features on the site that can be used for free. Thanks again.
And one more thing - where to get the link for the ifarme bet, for example, in the VKontakte application? Just the link doesn't work. And it would be convenient - I made a mini-application, inserted it into a group and let people go and watch. It looks nicer than just a link to a site
Translated from RussianGood day! I have you recently. I have not quite figured it out yet. Some moments were directly surprised in places (when they withdraw money about you for restricting the visibility of the panorama and a couple more points), but in general the principle is not bad and convenient. I think that I will look for less greedy services in the future, but since I have posted I will ask a question - can I somehow sign these transition buttons? So that the tunnel icon and the inscription hung somewhere below, on the side where will it lead you at all? for a computer it is clear - the mouse brought a signed. But you won’t bring anything from your mobile phone - just click and move to the next panorama.
Translated from RussianThanks, it worked!
Translated from RussianGood afternoon, thanks for the article and comment on the advanced article editor. Please check if your article opens in the advanced editor now. At the moment, the advanced editor has problems creating new articles and pasting copied text into the editor. I will try to fix it soon.
Translated from RussianGood afternoon, Roman! I would like to add an article to the resource, but ran into the problem of an advanced editor. That is, now I have an article in the "Draft" state, I can’t format the text using the advanced editor, insert pictures, etc., the editor is minimized during any action and does not make any changes to the text. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.
Translated from Russian3D-Design, tags Allplan and Cinema4D moved to the software section. thank
Translated from Russian
Screenshot as an illustration of the fact that now the "Robots" only for photo equipment evaluate the completeness of information:
https://abload.de/img/2tagequipmentghk6x.png
That is, as I understand it, 3D-Max programs and others like them also get here.
Please complete the Equipment section (or more specifically, grouping by the "equipment-software" tag here https://truevirtualtours.com/en/tags/equipment-software) with Allplan and Cinema4D. Otherwise, the "robots", which give an assessment according to the criteria for tagging, do not see the conformity of the applied programs to the criterion for describing the equipment used. Thank you in advance, Roman!

TORI.YAKO, please check your panorama. The problem must be fixed. Thanks.

TORI.YAKO, thanks for mentioning this issue. It will be fixed until Monday.
Translated from RussianI have a problem when viewing panoramas, I have 5 of them, and when watching alternately, the sixth, alien, appears. if I send a link to a specific panorama to another person, then due to the fact that the panorama is not isolated and makes it possible to leaf through all my other publications, a transition to a third-party publication occurs as one of mine, but with an indication of another author. please save me from this misunderstanding))) https://truevirtualtours.com/en/panorama/34549/360view
Translated from RussianJulia, you can also write via the VKontakte or Facebook group https://vk.com/truevirtualtours https://www.facebook.com/truevirtualtours
Translated from RussianWell, the other day then I’ll try again to make a link to my website and take a screenshot. By the way, how to send it in PM? And here I do not see the insert photo
Translated from Russian
Julia, thanks for the questions. I agree with active panoramas - a great way to make a virtual tour more understandable. We’ll think about how to implement this for a long time. I think a simple version of the plan may be available within a month, at least try to implement it.
Your question about the problem of inserting a panorama on a site is not entirely clear. Can you share a screenshot to see the problem? I will try to fix it. thanks
The project is good! But it would be even cooler to add the ability to consolidate a plan with active points, say in the upper right corner of the tour. By type, as done in Pano2VR. It is very convenient for understanding the location in a common area. Well, the transition to panoramas on the tour is simplified. I also encountered the following: I want to upload panoramas to my site through an active link (by the way, special thanks for this function), but when you squeeze the insert to about 1 quarter of the screen, only the site’s logo is visible, and I don’t even see the panorama ... I suspect that the link functionality keeps the logo in a certain dimensional framework ... This is not very convenient. Plus scroll scrollbars appear, not a panorama thumbnail ... I hope I clearly explained it on my bird's eye)))
Translated from RussianTORI.YAKO, sorting panoramas in a virtual tour is implemented. Also added a selection of the main panorama in the virtual tour. Functionality is available in tour editing mode. Please see if everything works as expected. I would be grateful for the comments. thanks
Translated from RussianSmart-360.ru. In principle, such an opportunity is easy to add. The originals of the downloaded panoramas are stored in the protected folders of users, so that if necessary, the user can download them when such a function is added.
Translated from RussianGood afternoon. Question: Can I download my panorama already uploaded to your site?
Translated from RussianTORI.YAKO, thanks for the suggestions. Sorting panoramas on the tour will certainly be implemented. For the tour via the link to open immediately on the whole screen, use the Embed / Share function from the tour menu. In the dialog that opens, copy the link from the "Copy Link" field. Here is an example of a link to a virtual tour that opens immediately in full screen: https://truevirtualtours.com/en/tour/14198/show
Translated from RussianGood afternoon, thanks for the comments. Now the opportunity to set an avatar and also the background image of the profile should be available. The functionality is available in the profile editing dialog box along with the ability to change the name and description of the profile.
Translated from RussianAnother convenient way to view a tour or panorama is that when you click on the link, you will immediately see the full screen view of that particular tour or panorama to which there is a link. This is very convenient and does not mislead people who have received a link to this specific content, making it possible to immediately go directly to viewing, without being distracted by additional manipulations with downloads, reading, etc. And if necessary, from the sphere, you need to be able to go to the window for viewing information about a panorama or tour, as well as select other locations, tours and publications of the author. From my own experience working with panoramas, I can say that the ability to choose to send a link either to your profile, or to directly view a particular object is the most convenient and gives maximum comfort in working with content
Translated from RussianI would very much like to add the function of moving panoramas within the framework of one tour among themselves, thereby regulating the sequence of locations. Also, there is really not enough opportunity to assign and / or change the initial panorama on the tour for a better presentation. For example, the first location in the apartment to appoint a tour of the hall or hallway. Now opening the link, viewing begins with the panorama that was downloaded first in order of priority. I would be very grateful for the opportunity.
Translated from RussianTORI.YAKO, thank you very much for your question. Sorry, this functionality is not yet available. We plan to add it along with other improvements until January 15. Thanks again
Translated from RussianGood afternoon, tell me how to set a profile avatar? I can’t even find a hint of this action. Perhaps there is some kind of instruction or article about the functionality. Thank you in advance)
Translated from RussianThank you :) I know, I did
Translated from RussianAndrey, thanks for the feedback about the site! I will transfer your comment here to the questions and suggestions section. Be sure to add a share button. While the button is not ready, you can simply copy the link from the address bar of the browser to share. Thanks again.

Add the share button on VK and Facebook to the site.
I really liked your project (I understand what a pain in the neck)
Ok, thx
Jarek, your visitor will see the Russian version only if you send them a link to the Russian version of your tour. It usually contain /ru/ in the URL. Otherwise, they will see your original description.
This evening only Russian language version
available? My panorams descriptions was tranlated :( that's bad news for my visitors ...
Excellent, many thanks !!!
Tooltips were added for transitions between panoramas in a virtual tour.
Translated from RussianFot. Jarek Sobański, sorry for that we don't have this functionality right now. We are going to add it very soon along with share/embed functionality for virtual tours. Thank you
Hotspots-external links would be very useful too. For commercial purposes irreplaceable.
Thank you for your comment, Jarek. I will add a hotspot hint on a virtual tour within one or two weeks.
Hello :) For me onmouseover hints missing. In virtual tour without placename navigate between panoramas sometimes will bee difficult.
I_shalamov15 - no, after publication they will not be removed, but I will add this feature in the very near future. Thanks for the question.
Translated from RussianFar38, look, please, partially fixed the problem with quotes, but still working on it.
Translated from Russian
Roman, good afternoon!
Tell me how to remove the following marks from my panorama? http://prntscr.com/pciwoh
Will they be cleaned after publication? I would like to upload a panorama to my website.
I will try to fix the problem with the name when changing the image in the near future.
Translated from RussianFar28, please write, did you manage to create a tour or do you have other questions. The functionality of the tours is not fully available now. Write what you need - I’ll add. thank
Translated from Russian
Far38, thanks for the question. Try using the functionality of virtual tours. In the list of panoramas, click on the link "Add to 3D tour". Then enter the name of your tour and click on the "New 3D tour" button. After that, make sure that the panorama is on the tour. Do the same with other panoramas that you want to merge. As a result, you get a tour, such as these:

Roman, good afternoon.
Maybe you can help.
I will try to explain the problem. When I open my loaded panorama. Below the image there is a name. There are control buttons on the panorama itself. The leftmost are the numbers enclosed in brackets. Example "1 \ 2", etc. By clicking on these "quotes" you can change the panorama. The problem is that when changing the image, the name and information about the first panorama DOES NOT CHANGE. And the viewer moving to another panorama with the help of "quotes" receives false information about the place that he is considering. The place is different, but the name has not changed. I did not find the possibilities to change this.
Tell me how 1. Remove "unnecessary" panoramas. 2. And combine with the help of "quotation marks" the panorama of one location.
Try new hotspots or tunnels between panoramas in a virtual 3D tour.
A list of links to information on the cost of placing panoramas and virtual tours.
How do you ode your virtual tours and spherical panoramas to your customers? Share your experience.
The order is as follows: 1) upload to the site spherical panoramas from which you plan to create a virtual tour; 2) from the list of uploaded panoramas add each panorama to the virtual tour (Add to 3D tour link); 3) open the created virtual tour, edit the panorama order, select the main panorama, set transition points (tunnels).
Some users to whom I sent links to view panoramic photos could not at first figure out how to properly rotate the panorama around me, or at first did not realize that the wheel could zoom in or out the scene. For such cases, the True Virtual Tours website has a Video Editor feature. In case of its application, before the user who opened the panorama by the link, the script of the "flyby" invented by you immediately starts. That is, the camera rotates or focuses as you yourself previously configured. Thus, you helped our customer to quickly examine the space around "himself" in a panoramic picture and at the same time encouraged him to think that he could perform the same actions with the help of the mouse buttons or the wheel.
Short instruction for shooting spherical panoramas.
One of the possibilities of the TrueVirtualTours service is the ability to add sound accompaniment both for the virtual tour in general and for individual panoramas.
360-degree panorama (virtual 3D/VR tour) is one of the types of panoramic photography.
