Hi @krunalk31

Please follow procedure:

  1. On desktop or mobile, go to Street View Studio.
  2. On the left, click Upload.
  3. Select or drag-and-drop your 360 video.
  • .mp4 and .mov files are currently supported.
  • Most 360 cameras add metadata and GPS data to your video file.
    • If your 360 camera outputs this information into a separate .gpx file, at the bottom right, select More More and then Upload GPX file.
  1. Click OK.
  2. Review your video.

Hello @krunalk31 ,
first of all WELCOME TO CONNECT ! Take your time to Introduce Yourself. .
Local Guides Connect is a fascinating forum, brought to you by Google, designed for folks like you and me where we can exchange ideas and discover tips on how to thrive as a “Local Guide.”

I saw that @AbdullahAM already post about how adding a StreetView to Google Maps.

Posting 360° photos if different.

  • How capture 360° Photos - With mobile phones there are some app that are helping you to shoot at 360°. Just have a look at the relative app store. Another solution is using a 360° camera that take both photos and video in 360°. In my experience a 360° is easier to use and more reliable.
  • How upload – A 360° photo can be uploaded in the same way you upload normal photos. Choose you place / POI select add photo and upload. Different story if you want to upload a 360° photo in a place where there are NO POI. Today is not so easy… you need specific tools or app (not the one for Virtual Tour ) .

If you want to post in a specific place you choose, out of any POI let me know.

Take care
