Ricoh THETA360 embed autoplay rotation


Is there a way to turn on autoplay for an embeded theta360 image? I can see the autoplay feature is turned on https://theta360.com/en/gallery/ but not when embedding the image somewhere:

<blockquote data-width="500" data-height="375" class="ricoh-theta-spherical-image"><a href="there url here" target="_blank">Spherical Image - RICOH THETA</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://theta360.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Also on mobile, if I long tap for a second, I see that autoplay starts, but can't see how to automatically turn it on when it loads.


Solution

  • I've noticed that how you upload from the Theta app determines whether it auto rotates or not when embedding:

    "Share without specifying the orientation" = auto rotation "Share with the current orientation" = fixed to chosen direction always

    There is no variable to set it to rotate or not (that I've found).
