3. Setting The First Room of the Tour

In this lesson, we will teach you how to set the first room or image of a tour.

The term "Setting the first room image of a tour" is often perceived as two things:

  1. Setting a Banner Image for the tour.
  2. Using a panoramic image as the first area/room image of the tour


A. Setting a Banner Image for the Tour

Setting a banner image for the tour sets a still photo as the thumbnail of the tour compared to the usual panoramic image.




This screen displays whenever you create a new tour on the mobile app.

Tapping on the camera icon accesses your device' camera so you may take a snap shot of the front view photo.







Should you wish to add or change the banner image of an existing tour however, all you need to do is to edit the tour on the mobile app.




Tap on the Tour Photo here:





All you need to do here is to tap on the camera icon (provided no photo is added) to add a new banner image or, tap on the existing photo (if a photo exits), to change the banner image.






B. Using a Panoramic Image as the First Area/Room Image of the Tour


Setting the first room of the tour sets an image as the first place your audiences hop into as soon as they view your tour.

Setting this up should be relatively easy and is best done on the Desktop Portal.


Step 1: Click on the Edit button to edit the tour.




Step 2:
Select the image you wish to set as the very first room of your tour.




Step 3: Select the Modify Position option on the top left of your screen.



A pop-up window should appear on the center of your screen.




Step 4: Place a check on the "Set Beginning of the Tour" option to set the room/area image as the first image of the tour.



Click on update when done.



There are also a few things to take note of when shooting the front images of the property.
Make sure the front of the camera is pointed towards the best subject of the area. For example, when shooting the front of the house, you want the front side of the camera facing towards the house.

Front side of the camera.



This way, the first thing your viewers see when they enter the tour is the front of the house.

Please do note that this not only applies to the front of the property but in all rooms or areas as well.
