Add one
- In the editor, on the Hotspot tab, select a hotspot that links to another panorama. See Add and edit hotspots if you haven’t made one yet.
- Under View Direction, choose Change, turn the view so visitors arrive facing into the room, and choose Save.
- Choose Reverse Hotspot. “Hotspot added” confirms it.
If you skip step 2, the editor reminds you: “Please save View direction and try again.” The view direction is how TeliportMe knows where the doorway is in the other room.
What you get
- A new hotspot in the linked panorama, behind visitors as they arrive, which is where the doorway they came through usually is.
- The same icon, size and label style as the original.
- It links back to the panorama you started in, and visitors who use it arrive facing the original hotspot.
Go to the other panorama to check it. Drag it if it isn’t quite on the doorway, and give it a name, such as “Hall”. See Style hotspot labels and icons.
Tips
- Work room by room. Add a hotspot to each doorway, set its view direction, then make its reverse, and every route works both ways.
- Reverse hotspots are for icon hotspots; polygons don’t have the button.
Common questions
Why does Reverse Hotspot say “Please save View direction and try again”?
The reverse hotspot needs to know which way visitors arrive in the other room. Under View Direction, choose Change, turn the view, choose Save, then choose Reverse Hotspot again.
Where does the reverse hotspot appear?
The reverse hotspot appears in the linked panorama, behind visitors as they arrive, where the doorway they came through usually is. Drag it if it isn’t quite on the doorway.
Can I add a reverse hotspot to a polygon?
No. Reverse Hotspot is for icon hotspots that link to a panorama; polygons don’t have the button. For a polygon, add a hotspot in the other room that links back. See Add and edit hotspots.
