Top 3. If I open the page with TD tour embedded on my mobile phone, I don’t see the tour. I only see the blue “Click to see the tour” button. Why?
This button is required for the mobile version of the tour and it was done for better user experience. Not all websites provide a good mobile versions and when you are looking at iframe with TourDash it can be very small, or large or require scrolling, etc. To eliminate this we show a button which will open the tour in another page/tab with fullscreen view.

Cool borderless designed hotspot for embedded video
Good afternoon everybody! We continue our series of posts about advanced TourDash tours content formatting with CSS and HTML editing. We’ve already told you how to use custom fonts in your TourDash tour in one of the previous posts. We hope you enjoyed this feature! Today we will describe how to embed a video in your TourDash tour in a beautiful way.
Do you want to get the same cool borderless designed hotspot for embedded video? We’ll tell you how!
1. Create a new hotspot, switch to the HTML editing mode by pressing the <> and copy the embeded code for the desired video. Embeded code must be wrapped in an extra div element indicating its class, for example “video_bordeless”.
2. Turn off display of the title in the Properties tab as well as set the width the same as the width of your video in the embeded code. The best position for displaying video is the center of the screen.
3. Save the hotspot and open the CSS editor by clicking on the Labs icon in the TourDash editor panel. If you don’t see this icon, it means your account is not included to the enhanced CSS editing. To enable this feature for your account, please contact support@tourdash.com. In CSS Edit tab, you must specify the properties for “video_borderless” class. You can just copy the snippet we’ve prepared.
Then click “Apply styles”.

Google Photo Spheres in TourDash tours
Hello, TourDash community! Today we are happy to announce a new era of Google Photo Spheres use in TourDash tours!
A Google Photo Sphere itself is basically a panorama photo that is viewable as a 360-degree image. Users can enjoy them by swiping around to determine the directionality of the view. Any person in the world can create his own Photo Sphere and contribute it to Google Street View to share with all Google Maps users.
Google Photo Spheres is a great opportunity to add some interesting external location to your virtual tour. In this case you can show your online visitors the panorama of the street area which is situated outside of your company. It is becoming very important for those businesses that have outside points such as veranda, terrace, roof-cafe, etc.
Currently TourDash has an experimental support of Google Photo Spheres. The current stable version of Google Maps API does not give us full possibilities to work with photospheres, that has been created after September 2015. But, we were able to solve this problem, and now you can use any photospheres in your TourDash tour, no matter when this photosphere has been created.
On our support page you can find an instruction about how to add Google Photo Sphere to your TourDash tour.
