New Feature: 360-degree Image Viewer in SharePoint and OneDrive for Business

MC183957, Stay Informed, Published On : July 1, 2019

The 360-degree Image Viewer is a new Office 365 feature. We'll begin rolling this feature out soon.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 49516.

How does this affect me?
With this feature in place, customers will be able to view 360-degree photos in an interactive, panoramic manner, directly within Sharepoint and OneDrive for Business, when the photo is clicked on for detailed viewing.

Any 360-degree photos uploaded after this feature goes live (basically ones marked with a projection type of "Equirectangular") will be detected as such.

Alternatively, users can manually tag their 360-degree photos to end with ".360.jpg" or ".360.jpeg" to force activation of the 360-degree viewer, for those particular photos.

The roll out will be complete in early July.
