- If you want to create a virtual tour of a practical room, a salon for example a 360 degree camera is a great way to do this. If you do not have a 360- degree camera you can download the Google Street viewer app for free and take a 360-degree image on your phone, save it, and then upload it to ThingLink.
- If you are filming a virtual tour for a video, make sure you move very slowly when filming.
- If you want students to view embedded content in a particular order, use numbers as the icons.
