Live VR Tour How To

HOST

Once your tour is online, you can Start the Live Guided Tour, which means you open the line for guests to dial in. For that, right-click (or use two fingers on a touch pad) on the tour and select “Start Live Guided Tour”. Now, is when you’ll be asked to insert the password. This will make you the host of the session. Once you’re online as the host, guests start seeing the option to “dial in” and you will be notified of any call coming in.

eeee

If you log in for the first time, the system will take you through a couple of windows that explain the buttons available to you. Make sure you understand read through these, as the different modes influence who will be allowed to talk on a call.

Instructions Host

Once you’re through these explanation windows, you’re ready to be called. Make sure your settings allow for notifications in your browser. Otherwise, you won’t be able to be notified of an incoming call.

Capturssssse

In your browser, you need to give permission to access the camera and microphone. The browser system will ask you this automatically upon accessing the URL for the first time (as soon as somebody calls you). Make sure you click “Allow” to grant access in the permission window. You can revoke this permission in your browser settings at all times.

LGT - Permission Camera with Detail Zoom

Should you not see this window or accidentally have denied permission, you can go to your browser settings, search for the term “camera” and under “Site Settings” view and edit the sites that block and allow your camera access. This is the case for both host and guests accessing Live Guided Tours.

GUESTS

Guests will only be able to call, when there is a host logged in as such. As soon as the host logged in, any visitor of the virtual tour will see the option to “START LIVE SESSION” on the top of the screen.

LGT - Guest Dial in

When clicked, the guest will be asked to insert a name (this is cached, so you only have to insert that the first time). Upon clicking “Connect” the guest is calling in to the Live Session. Make sure to grant permission to your camera and microphone.
