The Samsung Gear 360 is one of the best pocket-sized 360-degree cameras on the market right now. It can record high-def 360-degree videos and take high-res 360-degree photos. When you see the awesome results you’ll want to share them, but where can you upload 360-degree content? Thankfully, the two most popular places for sharing photos and videos support content from the Gear 360. We’re talking about YouTube and Facebook. Sharing your 360-degree creations couldn’t be simpler.
First, you have to move the video from the Gear 360 to your phone. The Gear 360 app shows you what is on your “Mobile Device” and what is on the “Gear 360.” Anything listed in the Mobile Device tab is already on your phone. Everything listed under the Gear 360 tab is being stored on the Gear 360. To what is on the Gear 360, you first have to connect to it.
Note: the video may take a while to process and play correctly as a 360-degree video.
Uploading to Facebook is mostly the same as uploading to YouTube.
Note: Like YouTube, it will take a while after the video is uploading for it to play correctly as a 360-degree video.
Uploading photos is even easier than uploading videos. Facebook, of course, accepts 360-degree photos. Google+ is another great place to share photos. The process for both is largely the same as uploading videos.
It’s very easy to create amazing 360-degree content with the Gear 360. You can pick one up right now at MobileFun (US and UK).
