Create a 360-enabled file with an app

1. Download the 360 Video Metadata app for Mac and Windows
2. Un-zip the file, then open the 360 Video Metadata app. If you’re on a Mac, you may need to right-click the app and then click “Open”
3. Select the video file
4. Click “Inject and save”
5. Enter a name for the file that will be created
6. Save the file. A new file will be created automatically in the same location as the original file
7. Upload the new file to YouTube
8. Wait for the 360 degree effect to process. This may take up to an hour.

Create a 360-enabled file with a script

Rather than using an app, you can use a Python script. Here’s how to do that.

1. Download the ZIP containing the script using the “Download as ZIP” button at the bottom-right of this page. You’ll need to have Python installed on your computer to run it.
2. Un-zip the file. In the 360-Videos-Metadata sub-folder, you’ll see the 360VideosMetadata.py script. From Terminal (Mac) or Command (Windows), run the script with this command:
   360videosmetadata.py -i [input] [output]
   Input is the full filename of the file that you’ve already created, for example: 360video.mp4. Output will be the name of the file that will be created by the script, so come up with a new name.
   The command you’ll run will look something like:
   360VideosMetadata.py -i 360video.mp4 360videoNEW.mp4
3. If you’ve never run a Python script before, take a look at these resources for Mac and Windows
4. The script will create a new file. Next, you’ll upload it to YouTube.

Before publishing, you can verify that the file has 360-degree playback enabled by checking the video by watching icon on your computer. It may take up to an hour for 360-degree playback to be available.

Be sure not to make edits to the video itself using the YouTube Video Editor and Enhancements tools on desktop or mobile apps, as these tools don’t currently support 360-degree videos.
