Can i upload a 360 video on Facebook?

 

A 360 video is created with a camera system that simultaneously records all 360 degrees of a scene. Viewers can pan and rotate a 360 video's perspective to watch it from different angles.

Uploading to Your Timeline

If the video was recorded with a 360 or spherical camera system that adds 360 metadata to the video file, then you can upload a 360 video to your timeline the same way you'd upload any other video.

If the video was recorded with a camera system that doesn't add the 360 metadata to the video file, add the 360 metadata to the video file and then follow the same steps for uploading any other video to your timeline.

Uploading to a Page

If the video was recorded with a 360 or spherical camera system that adds 360 metadata to the video file, then you can upload a 360 video the same way you'd upload any other video to a Page.

If the video was recorded with a camera system that doesn't add 360 metadata to the video file or if you want to set your video's initial orientation and field of view, follow these steps:

1. Follow the same steps as you would to add any other video to a Page
2. Before publishing your video, click the Advanced tab
3. Then click to check the box next to This video was recorded in 360° format to make the 360 Controls tab appear.
4. Click the 360 Controls tab to be able to set the initial camera orientation and field of view for your video
5. Click Publish

1. Click the notification or go to the Edit Video page.
