The full pipeline for putting 360° video on the web: consumer panorama camera choices, equirectangular export parameters (2:1 aspect, resolution, bitrate), HLS chunking for giant files, deployment with CORS, and ZWPlayer embedding with initial-view tuning. Includes a pre-launch checklist.
ZWPlayer VR hands-on: the three forms of the vr option, force/auto/manual mode semantics, initial yaw/pitch/FOV presets, stereo detection — plus the tune-then-copy view panel workflow, CORS black-screen troubleshooting, and panoramic playback over HLS/DASH/FLV/WebRTC.
Where should your 360° videos live? This guide reviews four families of VR video playback — VR headsets, desktop players, hosting platforms, and web players you embed yourself — comparing immersion, protocol support, and embedding, with a decision table.
