YouTube 360

The YouTube 360 layer is equipped with a range of customised layer properties that streamline the playback of 360-degree YouTube videos.

URL

This field is for inputting the URL of the YouTube video you want to view in 360 degrees.

Resolution

This determines the dimensions of the webpage that hosts the YouTube player. By default, the resolution is set to 7680x4320, which is optimal for the majority of YouTube 360 videos.

Please note, you may need to modify this setting if you encounter 'letterboxing' (black bars on top and bottom or sides of the video) during playback.
