Thanks!

I'm not clear on exactly what you're asking for - is 359 photos not enough? :-)

LOL.... 359 still photos should cover it, but... I just did a bunch of 360-degree photos for each room. Wondering if there is a way to put them on the hosted website.

Ah, gotcha.

Yes, you can put nonstandard image formats, videos, or anything else on a Hosted Website - just not in the Photos list for a property, because the channels don't support that.

Simply Create a Custom Page on the main config screen for your Hosted Website. Call it "Videos" or something suitable. When you edit it, it's basically a big blank page that you can put anything you like on, including embedding video players etc.

I did the same, but it would be nice to add functionality for Matterport 3-D tours in the new Video link on photos (extending from just You Tube & Vimeo.
