Embedding 3D Tours and Video
How to add Matterport, Zillow 3D, and video (YouTube, Vimeo, or a direct file link) to an order so they show up on the delivery gallery and property website.
Last updated
Beyond photos, an order can carry two other kinds of content: content links (3D tours and similar) and video. They work differently, so this article covers each on its own.
Content links
From an order, use Add a link to paste in a URL. Spatiko detects what it is and fills in the label, thumbnail, and embed automatically — nothing to connect in settings first.
- Matterport — a
my.matterport.com/show/?m=...link is recognized as a 3D virtual tour, gets a thumbnail pulled from Matterport, and embeds directly on the gallery and property website. - Zillow 3D Home — a
zillow.com/view-imx/...orzillow.com/view-3d-home/...link also embeds. A regular Zillow listing page (zillow.com/homedetails/...or/homes/...) does not embed — Zillow blocks that, so those links only open in a new tab. - Floor plans — CubiCasa and VisitHome links are recognized the same way and embed like a tour.
Each content link has its own Include in client delivery toggle, so you can add a link for your own reference without showing it to the client.
Video
Videos are their own thing on the order, separate from content links, with three ways to add one:
YouTube
- Paste a link — YouTube, Vimeo, or a Dropbox share link to a video file (
.mp4,.m4v,.mov,.webm). It’s added instantly, no upload needed. Dropbox links play in a plain video player rather than an embed, since Dropbox doesn’t offer one. - Import from a folder — pull a video in from a linked Dropbox or Google Drive folder.
- Upload a file directly to Spatiko.
Uploading to YouTube
YouTube is the only video host Spatiko connects to directly. If you’ve connected YouTube (see how connecting works), you can choose a default privacy setting and channel, and then upload video files from inside an order straight to that channel — the video embeds on the delivery gallery and property website once it’s up.
Vimeo and Dropbox don’t have an upload connection like this. For those, you paste a link to a video you’ve already hosted elsewhere. (Spatiko also connects to Frame.io, but that’s for client review before delivery, not hosting.)
Where clients see it
Content links and videos both show up on the delivery gallery and, if the order has one, the property website. For getting media onto the order in the first place, see uploading your media.
Go deeper
- Hosting property videos on YouTube — the one video host Spatiko uploads to, plus channel and privacy defaults.
- Client video review with Frame.io — collect timestamped feedback on a cut before it goes on the gallery.
- CubiCasa floor plans — order floor plans from a booking instead of pasting a link after the fact.
- Connecting your tools — which integrations need a connection and which just take a link.
- Delivering your media — getting the tour, the video, and the photos out to the client together.
Frequently asked questions
Why won't my Zillow link embed on the gallery?
A regular Zillow listing page — the homedetails or homes URL — can't be embedded because Zillow blocks it, so Spatiko only opens those in a new tab. Use the Zillow 3D Home link instead (the view-imx or view-3d-home form) and it embeds like a Matterport tour.
Do I need to connect Matterport before adding a tour?
No. There's nothing to set up in settings — use Add a link on the order, paste the URL, and Spatiko detects what it is and fills in the label, thumbnail, and embed on its own.
Can I add a link to an order without the client seeing it?
Yes. Every content link has its own Include in client delivery toggle, so you can keep a link on the order for your own reference and leave it off the client's gallery.
Can Spatiko upload video to Vimeo?
No — YouTube is the only video host Spatiko connects to directly. For Vimeo, or anything else you already host, paste the link on the order instead. Dropbox share links to a video file work too, though they play in a plain player rather than an embed.
