Hi Sameer, have you found a way to add interactivity to a 360° video and use it inside Storyline ?
The discussion suggested by Crystal seems to be about embedding a non interactive 360° video inside Storyline.
Simple thoughts : adding interactivity could be done with another tool then using javascript to communicate with Storyline. Do you have more information ?
Any progress on this? From what I can gather, you need to house the video on a website (e.g. YouTube, Facebook or from another site like OmniVirt, including all your interactivity from there, then Insert, Video, From Web.
It would be great if SL introduces what Adobe Captivate has done with inherit ability to add 360 videos and then add interactivity (such as hotspots, questions etc). Not sure if it's in the pipeline for development but it should be :)
We also have 360 files that we need to embed in Storyline. Currently, the only way to do this seems to be through a web object; however, the web objects have a bug that makes text appear blurry. So, there doesn't seem to be a way to make this work (opening in a new window is not an option for this project). We really want to use Storyline for this series of projects because we love the other features, but this is a serious roadblock.
I'm wondering if it's possible to use something like A-frame and insert that into storyline as a web object. I haven't tried myself but just curious if that would work and how much would need to be changed in the A-Frame code to internalize it for an LMS.
Agreed Emil... when I tried googling about 360 video and Storyline's capabilities, the results were a mess bc of "Storyline 360". Pretty funny actually. :) I have a client that is wanting an interactive 360 video (much like a real estate walk through with clickable features)... and I'm sad to learn this sounds pretty complicated in Storyline. Would love to see this feature added soon!
Adobe captivate is having this feature to add interactivity in any 360 degree video, made two videos and client liked it but the main part it does supports in low resolution only.
hope storyline will soon add this feature, posted about 3 years back still hopes going on😊
I have just been having a play with creating a 360 interactive image in Storyline 360 as I'll be need to do it for a client soon, and thought I'd share here in case it helps anyone else before the 360 feature is released. I took a panoramic picture, used this image on a number of slides (each one starting a bit further in to the image. I then added a hotspot strip down each side of the slide to move to next/previous slide when the user hovers over. This worked surprisingly smoothly and you could then add whatever interactions you wanted as it's all within storyline 360.
Hi - just checking on the status of Articulate adding the functionality of importing 360 degree videos/images into Storyline. I believe I read somewhere that this is in the works for a future update and just wondering how soon this may be available.
I have exciting news to share! We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 54, we’ve included important fixes and new features.
One of the features we’ve included is:
Create immersive learning experiences with 360° images. Add interactive elements, such as hotspots and markers to engage learners as they explore.
360° images are currently in public beta for Storyline 360, which means you can use them for production as we continue to enhance them.
To take advantage of this feature, launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please let us know if you have any questions by posting here or directly reaching out to our Support Engineers.
That's great news and I just tested the functions in the new feature. It seems to be working well so far. Are there any plans to do the same for 360 degree videos?
We do have a feature request for 360-degree videos, and I've added your comments so we can continue tracking this request! We'll keep you updated in this discussion.
I appreciate you taking the time to post in this thread.
I would also like to request 360 video as well. This is critical for my work at Delta and I would rather stay with Articulate than have to switch to another development tool. Please advise when this feature will be added.
The same question I work in Medical and we need to add a 360-degree video allowing the learner to navigate around the room to see the procedure and the many different screens. Any update on adding a 360Degree Video Format?
I have been using 360 still images in StoryLine in the medical field with success. The learners are more engaged with the content. Taking this a step further to include video will be a huge boost for Articulate.

Hello Sameer! Here's a discussion on bringing 360º videos into Storyline. Lots of people choose to incorporate them as a web object.
I hope that helps!
Thanks Crystal...!!!
I have created one video with Unity but i want some interactivity in it, like when clicking something popup will appear.

Hi there, Ray!
Thanks for adding your voice! Although I don't have an update to share just yet, we promise to update this discussion with any new information.
I shared your thoughts with the right team and if we add this feature to Storyline in the future, we'll be sure to share the news here!
I found one way to add interactive 360-degree video in another tool. Waiting for SL to update this with better features.
Is there any news on this feature. I cannot believe that this facility is not present. Adobe Captivate has it. Surely it must be implemented soon?
Is there anything to report on this... I could really do with this facility
It has been about 10 months since I put it out there, so hoping there has been some progress :)

What way did you end up using Sameer? Just curious as I like to experiment with different tools.
Where would one host the 360 images so that it can be embedded?
So.... the software is called Storyline360, and there´s no way of placing a 360-video in it???? Please let me add interactivity to my 360-videos!

I agree, we really need 360 videos to create immersive 360 VR experiences, would be fantastic! Count me in for this!!!
I'm voicing support for 360 videos.
