We interpret the following parameters, in addition to our own parameters documented here: . There are two sets of metadata tags Facebook looks for to determine whether a photo is in 360:ģ60 cameras and panorama-generation tools include Photo Sphere metadata in saved photos. In these cases, the correct metadata must be injected into your photos before they can be shared as 360 Panoramas created manually (e.g., art, in-game captures, scanned historic photos). Uploaded/re-downloaded photos on hosting or sharing services. Exported photos from certain image editors. Emailed, embedded photos (vs emailing as file attachments). Here are some common reasons metadata might be missing:
Workflows can also strip metadata from pictures. Sometimes, metadata is stripped during image editing, but other

This information is embedded in photo's Exif (Exchangeable image file format) metadata tags,Īnd if you're sharing 360 photos straight from camera, Facebook should automatically process and present them as How do we know what is a 360 Photo? - Metadataįacebook recognizes and processes 360 photos by looking for camera-specific metadata found in photos taken usingģ60-ready cameras.
