New Integration: Capture Higher Ed

C3D partner Capture Higher Ed helps admission departments track students through their application journey. 360° Tours are now integrated with that journey, and clients can add their own Capture Tracking IDs in Tour Builder. The new setting can be found under a new Advanced section in Account Settings.

There are a few things to note:

• 360° Tours will send Capture page views to Capture for every tour stop a visitor goes to
• Clients will NOT be required to submit a tracking script. All they need to supply is their Tracking ID. 

We hope higher education clients who partner with Capture will take advantage of this new integration and build a fuller picture of how prospective students are connecting with universities!

The Capture Higher Ed integration can be found under Advanced in Account Settings.

Notable Bug Fixes

• Text color not working for tour stop description or Text Hotspot

• Out-of-World Hotspot hyperlink’s default color does not pass color contrast

• Unsaved changes prompt appears when no changes have been made

• Unable to save Tour Builder account status

• Unable to upload images in Tour Builder

Beta Launch: Adaptive Streaming for 360° Videos

Adaptive Streaming has been beta launched for 360° Videos! Adaptive Streaming breaks 360° Video into smaller chunks that we can deliver bit-by-bit over time. This allows us to display longer, higher quality videos and also quickly deliver these videos to 360° Tour visitors no matter if they’re on a home wifi or cellular connection. 

You can now upload up to 500MB videos, and any videos used in 360° Tours should load and start playing almost immediately (with Adaptive Streaming enabled). This is a great way to showcase the very best spots around campus!

Notable Bug Fixes

• Duplicate pageviews being sent to GA4

• UA and GA4 recording the incorrect Event Category

• 360° Tour iframes fail to load in Firefox

• Audio file size not being checked when uploading to Media Library

• 360° Videos missing custom dimension data to track progress
