Noobie here...very informative videos you post! I'm into drones, time lapses, hyper lapses, tilt-shift, blah blah blah...very new to 360. I just picked up a Samsung gear 360 and can't wait to go out and play with it. Thoroughly enjoy all your videos. Keep up the good work teaching us all about 360!

New subscriber. Liked and shared too. Just ordered my first 360 camera. The Thata V

You are awesome! I love your videos, they made me into 360 photograph, I'm just waiting for my Mi Sphere to come.

Thanks Ty! Any recommendation for a non intrusive ballhead for a YI 360 mounted on a Manfrotto lightstand? Thanks

hi.. i was using street view app for virtual tour, but now street view app is stopped its service. could you suggest any alternate app?

Hi can you please advise which camera is better for Google trusted photography ? Insta 360 x3 or Pilot EE ?

Wow! 3 years later I don't know if it is possible but thank you for the information. It's an easy job

Nice one Mic, an easy way to make your camera pay for itself several times over while doing something you love 👍🏼

Hi Mic. Happy New Year to you and to all your followers!

hi, thanks so much for the video. I would like to try use a gopro, pano 5+1 and PTGui to stitch. Is the quality good enough? How will i be able to create the indoor tour. Is there a way with google streetview app?

Hi Mic! Thank you for your work! Could you help with advice? I would like to make VR Tours but mostly Street View for local businesses. Do you think it's worth to pay for Cupix and their Studio pack just to create VR Tours for Google Street view? Or is it better to use for example Kuula for VR Tours and simply use Street View app for adding 360 photos to Street View (for businesses like restaurants, hotels etc.?

Is there any watrerhousing available for Mi sphere ?

Thank you for this. Much appreciated. I upload photos to Google maps regularly as part of my Google Reviews. I am a Google Local Guide. The thing is, some of my photos (which are NOT spherical panoramas) are also showing up in the Street View app under the heading "collection". What do I do with them? Do I delete them? And if I delete them from the Street View app, will they also be deleted from my Google reviews? Thanks for some advice.

Hi, can you do an udated video, is the Google trusted program still avilable?

Great video sir . My question is pls tell us any way how we can remove our self like Google back pack man foot print . I make a back pack with theta v for Google Street view .Thanks

Great information. Thank you for helping my business.

Thank you for making this video.

Thank you, Michael! I think I know why the Xiaomi Mi Sphere takes photos that look sharper or have more detail in the background than the Theta V now. You mentioned that the Mi Sphere is 24 megapixels and the Theta is around 15. So, this may be part of it.

I was thinking about getting a Samsung Gear 360 when I saw this video. I have an iPhone and it wouldn’t work with that. I also realized that it wouldn’t work with the phone I was thinking of getting (LGv30) and decided not to get it. That just saved me some money. Thanks!

Glad to know this, thanks Mr. Ty 😊

Hi question. How do I go about reaching business to photoshoot 360 of their business and posting it on Google map?

Thanks for the very useful information. Your tutorials are always very useful! Regarding the face blurring I always thought you had to blur everyone on streetview and they preferred shots without people? If not that should make it far easier to take shots in restaurants as I could just sit down and snap one from my table =P

HI there, really love your video. Can I use Lightroom for editing pano ? Cheers, and all the best

Thank you for sharing. And I'm wondering is there a way to upload 360 pictures to Street View from the PC instead of using the Street View app on the phone?

If you want to make money with 360 photos, an easy way to start is by becoming listed as a Google Trusted Photographer. This video shows how. Here are the promised links and the table of contents.

cool

Great video! I´m looking to put yo work my camera, but how much can i charge for each photo? i have any idea

Won't all the cameras you mentioned in the beginning have parallax issues when shooting images indoors since they physically do not shoot from a nodal point?

Nice video for getting people started with Google Streetview! Thumbs up! =D

Hi Mic, I'd just like to point out that any photosphere editing with the Google Photos will cause StreetView to not recognize the GPS coordinates stored inside the picture, even if the data is still there (as confirmed with Google Photos information panel for instance). Simpy undoing the edits will make the GPS coordinates magically appear in StreetView. I have no ideea why this is happening and any tips around this are welcome.

Thank you so much bro will you please explain how to upload 360 video and make it automatically directed by google street view as you mentioned?

Thank you really .

Great vid. I just subbed you as well. I'm going to do my own guitar teaching business, as well as try to get clients for street view here in my location in Nova Scotia. I'll probably return here with questions if that's ok.

is the only way to publish on mobile ?

Can you do a video for Google street mapping with the insta360 one R

hallo i have insta 360 air. this mean i cant add photos on google, shooted with this camera?

Very good thank you

Thanks for your video I have got my 50 photos and I am now photographer google trusted Is it real that the visit inside will not appear on the right in a window says « look inside » ?? So the visit inside will be with all the other photo :/ (and not in front )

Hi Mic. Nice vid like always. When google street view app, suggests places that need photo, for example one restaurant, should I shot inside the store, or just outside photo?

Whats a good camera you recommend for google maps to offer 360 of inside of business places

Very interesting video! I just bought a Samsung Phone and a Samsung Gear 360 so I will go out and experiment with them soon! A question: There are multiple contribution opportunities nearby. Should you first contact those locations before showing up with your gear?

Thanks

So helpful.

Hi Mic, thanks for this great tutorial. I have a problem that I cannot upload manually stiched, perfect 360 spheres from drones or DSLR cameras in my Google Street View. Picture size and pixel and image ratio are all good. I get up to the "Publish in Maps" button, then it circles for a while, but the photo isn't uploaded. Also, Google Fotos does not recognize the spheres when uploading there, they are there just as flat images. Does it have to do with the XMP tag? I managed with no problem to upload a photo taken direct on my mobile phone on GSV app, of course with bad stiching errors. Thanks for any advice!

Thanks man.

Why not start with a 8k Android cell phone directly with Streets View Ap to stitch the photos.

thank you so much !!! ;)

How do I switch between multiple Google StreetView accounts? I was hoping to segregate the content I upload to GSV between two or more of my google accounts

haha thank you so much for the information bro

Aie ! the 50 photos do you talk must talk about the same thing or i can upload 50 differently photo ?Thank for your work

This is great but could you make a modern video on how to do this as it seems the apps and processes are not the same these days?

What type of pictures should be submitted to Google: Buildings, Houses, Nature, etc? Thanks and love your channel.

Can you use the insta 360 r Like you can on the x

11/25/18 It is nearly a year later, and so many newer camera are out there. Great info here, but maybe a tuneup/addendum would make a good video. Is Insta 360's software suitable for this? The reason that I ask is that will have the Insta 36 on X soon.

Thanks for your Video! I published 2 VR street view 360photos on google map and successful to see it online. How come my status of “ Google map approved photos” still zero?

is this still valid for 2020? I read in other forums that google has removed the GTP program...

i really like your sharing , thank for all your help show and teach :)

Once you’re certified after 50 photos, is uploading virtual tours for businesses pretty simple? I use kuula.

How much to charge in the US for photos with xiaomi or theta?

Hi, What camera do you use? There was an update to Google Street View that got rid of the feature of consolidating the photos in a groups. Without being able to consolidate, the 360 photos will be scattered.

how about using own logo to patch nadir in streetview?

how to make the tour with 2 or more 360 of the same place?

What aboutbthe huawei p20 pro 360 kit camera??

Just subscribed to your channel, please please please do more video like this. Beside sir how about gopro fusion 360? Does it support for google street view?

Hi Mic, I posted three 360 photos for small businesses on google maps. The photos were accepted, however, google took them all down one week after they accepted and published the tours. I posted all three within a week. There appears to be no actual reason (high res, great stitching etc. Any idea why google would be doing this?

I am a Google Trusted Photographer and level 7 Local Guide as well as being a Get Your Business Online Partner and Top Contributor. I have always had a great experience working with Google. I would not recommend the LG 360 as I had one and the stitching errors are too obvious to fit in with current image expectations from viewers

What is if you upload 50 360° photos, would like to get the green trusted badge on your profile, but don’t want to be listed as a trusted photographer on Google? Can you still keep the badge on your profile icon? Because at 01:05 they wrote something that you only have access to the badge when you are listed as a trusted photographer.

Hi there, the Google website still says the image quality needs to be 14mp or larger. www.google.com/streetview/earn/ Are you sure that 4K photos can meet the requirement? Or they've changed their requirement again?

Thanks.

I use the camera in my phone with the Street View app. It does a tolerable job of stitching together the 40 or so individual images necessary to make a 360 "Photosphere," though it does have some errors. I take photospheres in interesting areas of national or state parks. So far, I have only taken 39 photospheres. I have over 3.2 million views total, with one photosphere receiving over a million views. Google now approves every photosphere I publish within minutes. And, within half an hour, I usually already have around 50 views. In the past few days alone, I have gotten 900 views of photospheres taken on an obscure mountain on a tiny Indian reservation. Moral of the story: Take photospheres that you would want to look at. Don't just chase the crowds.

Michael can you UPLOAD directly from "desktop" (primary storage location) instead of from the camera/smartphone? Much easier for us who can't see the "small screens" --- Thanks in advance

I have around 100 photos published in google and out of this 84 photos are 360 photos. Still I didn't get any invite from Street View. What could be the reason.

Can insta 360 x3 is a supportive in virtual tour for the purpose of google trusted photography ?

This video is over 2 years old, do you still recommend the same equipment? Same Cameras?

Is it good to shoot 360° photo with Redmi note 4 i only have ,but my few photos are written as maps rejected and some approved but stat show no approved also I am in level 7 local guide can you suggest me how to photos being approved

Do you have to have permission from the public places you photograph before submitting it to google?

Hi all, I am looking for the right Android application for Google Street View(which is by google and not 3rd party apps), can anyone please come forward to share the link! Thank you

How to shoot 360 photo with normal dslr or android smartphone?? And where & how to upload??

Great video, in order to be a trusted photographer I need to upload 50 photos , does it has to be any photo like a park , church , store or a cool spot. Or it needs to be a particular branch like just stores and restaurants. Thanks in advanced

I had a question about goggle policy when uploading. If I take a photo of a hotel on the outside and of the lobby or room I'm staying in, do I need permission from the hotel to post on Goggle Street View. Thanks for the great videos on 360!

Can the Ricoh Theta Z1 ne connected to the Google Streetview app

Mic, can I see an unedited 360 pic taken using MANFROTTO NANOPOLE STAND? Want to see how the tripod legs look like.

Cool

Somehow the “contribute” tab in my street view app is gone! Anyone experienced this? Any advice ?

Thank you for the video. just wanted to know how to earn from 360 trusted photographer or agency ?

Hey, very informative👍. So is it 50 google approved photos or 50 360 degree approved photos to be Google Approved Photographer?

how many views should an average 360 photo get, to fasten your listing as a Google Trusted Photographer?

Hi, nice video. I am from India. I am a hobbyist photographer with nikon d3100. My queries are: 1. Do you have any playlist, where one can learn n practice the art? 2. Can it be done with nikon d3100 or any smartphone? 3. Which is budget mid ranger camera ( I know you mentioned few in this video) you will recomend . Asking still... 4. a)What are places, 360 can be used? b)And how generate work/ business for 360 photography? c)And what should be pricing like?

wish u and your family more healthy :)

Thank you for the video. How much money could be made from being a google trusted photographer? would i be paid per picture?

Good

I have over 300 360° street view photos taken with a Nikkon camera (fisheye lens) and cropped the photos with PTGui, in the last 7 years (I was the first who made the 360 photos), got 42 millions views, level 8 local guide but 0$ from google, what I can do?

Is Xiamomi 360 works in Mi Note 4 Mobile

Is there a free way to upload pictures to Google Street View from a PC instead of using the Street View app? I would like to first download the photos from my camera to my computer to do color and exposure corrections before posting to Street View. Thanks!

I LOVE YOU

Thanks for the video, anyway the question is: What about earnings? Does the google offer any real money or points and badges only?

Quick question? in the Streetview app when I see a list of locations needing 360 photos, does this mean they are needing interior or exterior views? Thanks for all your valuable knowledge., and keep it up!!

Mic is there anyway business profit from this today

Depois eu vejo com ele se ele está bem amor ❤️❤️❤️❤️😍❤️

Can I use a phone
