How to Create a Full House Tour with Your Phone and Insta360 Camera

The easiest no-desktop workflow

The simplest way to create a full house tour without a desktop is to let the Insta360 app handle camera connection and export, then let Houses360 handle the tour builder, room order, preview, publishing, lead capture, and sharing.

The flow is: Insta360 camera to Insta360 app, export 360 photos to your phone gallery, open the Houses360 Android app, upload the exported photos as scenes, organize the rooms, preview the tour, then publish and share the link.

What you need before you start

• Your Android phone with the Insta360 app installed.
• Your Insta360 camera with enough battery and storage.
• The Houses360 Android app installed and logged in.
• A stable phone connection or mobile data for uploads.
• A small tripod or monopod so each room photo stays level and steady.
• A clean phone gallery or album where you can find exported 360 photos quickly.

Recommended room shot list

You do not need a 360 photo every few feet. Capture the spaces that help someone understand the house. For most homes, one strong scene per important room is enough.

• Front exterior or front entry.
• Entry or foyer.
• Living room or main gathering space.
• Kitchen and dining area.
• Primary bedroom.
• Other bedrooms that matter for the listing.
• Bathrooms when they help buyers understand condition and layout.
• Backyard, patio, balcony, deck, or outdoor living area.
• Garage, basement, laundry, office, or bonus room if relevant.

Step 1: Capture the house in the Insta360 app

1. Connect the camera Open the Insta360 app, connect to your camera, and confirm the camera is ready before you start walking the property.
2. Prepare each room Turn on lights, open blinds when helpful, clear counters, close toilet lids, straighten furniture, and remove anything distracting.
3. Place the camera Put the camera near the center of the room when possible. Keep the tripod height consistent from room to room.
4. Step out of view Use the app trigger or timer so you are not standing in the scene. Watch mirrors, windows, and reflective appliances.
5. Capture one clear 360 photo Check the preview for blur, dark corners, clutter, or missing room context before moving to the next room.

Step 2: Export the 360 photos to your phone

After capture, export or save the 360 photos from the Insta360 app to your phone gallery. Use the normal 360 photo export option. Do not crop the image into a flat regular photo, because Houses360 needs the full panoramic image to display the scene correctly.

If the app gives you multiple export choices, choose the option that keeps the full 360/equirectangular photo. When the photos appear in your phone gallery, create or use an album so they are easy to select inside Houses360.

Step 3: Create the tour in Houses360

1. Open the Houses360 Android app Log in, then tap Create Tour or Upload from the dashboard.
2. Add the property title Use a clear title, such as the street name, listing nickname, or property address if appropriate.
3. Add basic property details Add address and listing context when you have it. You can return later to finish details before publishing.
4. Open the scene upload area Choose the upload option and select the exported Insta360 photos from your phone gallery.
5. Wait for processing Let each upload finish before selecting more photos. The app should show processing so you do not accidentally submit the same images twice.

Step 4: Name and order the rooms

Room names make the tour easier to follow. Use simple names buyers understand instead of file names from the camera. After upload, arrange the scenes in the order someone would naturally walk through the home.

Step 5: Preview before publishing

• Open the tour preview on your phone.
• Check that every room loads correctly.
• Make sure the first scene is the best starting point.
• Look for blurry, dark, duplicate, or confusing scenes.
• Confirm room names and order make sense.
• Check property details, branding, contact info, and lead form settings.

Step 6: Publish and share

When the tour looks ready, publish it and open Tour Links in the Houses360 dashboard. From there, copy the public link, use the Android share sheet when available, download a QR code, or copy one of the ready-to-send message snippets.

For a fast field workflow, send the link to yourself or the seller first. Once it is reviewed, share it with buyers, listing pages, social posts, QR materials, or follow-up messages where appropriate.
