Street View publishing is included in some plans. If yours doesn’t include it, the Street View options offer an upgrade.
1. Make a Street View tour
Street View tours live on the Street View page of your dashboard, separate from your other tours. Either:
- create a new one there with Create Tour, or
- copy an existing tour: open its menu (⋮) on the Tours page and choose Clone as Street View. See Clone a tour.
2. Add the panoramas
On the Street View page, open the tour’s menu and choose Panorama List. Use Upload Panorama to add any that aren’t there yet. Use full 360° panoramas.
3. Choose the place
Tell Google which business or place the panoramas belong to. Choose Select Place (in the Street View Editor, step 4, or on the Panorama List), then search for the business by name, or by its CID number from Google Maps, or paste a Google Maps link. Pick the right result and choose Use Place.
4. Set up the panoramas
Open the tour’s menu and choose Edit to open the Street View Editor. There you:
- Choose which panoramas to publish. Only the ones you select are sent to Google; Select All picks them all.
- Set north for each panorama: select one panorama, turn the view to face north and choose Set North. The editor confirms “North Updated”. This makes the view line up with the map on Google.
- Connect the panoramas so visitors can walk from one to the next, the way they move along a street. Use Add Connections on the Panorama List.
5. Connect your Google account and publish
- Open the tour’s menu and choose Publish. The Street View Publish page opens.
- If asked, choose Signin with Google and allow TeliportMe to publish to Street View for that Google account.
- Check what will be published: the Map view shows the panoramas and their connections, the Panos view lists them.
- Turn on the switch to agree to Google’s Maps User Contributed Content Policy.
- Choose Publish.
After publishing
The Street View Publish page shows the Publish Status of each panorama. Google reviews every upload, and it can take from 24 hours to 2 weeks for panoramas to appear on Maps, depending on the area. If they still haven’t appeared after that, see What to do if you can’t see your tour on Street View.
Tips
- Check the place before you publish. The Street View Publish page shows the place’s CID or Place ID with a link to it on Google Maps; open it to make sure it’s the right business.
- Set north on every panorama. Without it, visitors arriving from the map face a random direction.
- Read Google’s policy before you publish. Google can reject panoramas that don’t follow it.
Common questions
Can I upload a 360 virtual tour to Google Street View?
Yes. Make a Street View tour on the Street View page of your TeliportMe dashboard, choose the business it belongs to, then publish it with your Google account. Google reviews every upload before it appears on Maps.
How long does Google take to show a tour on Street View?
Google can take from 24 hours to 2 weeks to show panoramas on Maps, depending on the area. Follow each panorama’s progress under Publish Status, and see What to do if you can’t see your tour on Street View if they don’t appear.
Will Google accept every panorama?
No. Google reviews every upload and can reject panoramas that don’t follow its Maps User Contributed Content Policy, so read the policy before you publish.
Can I remove a tour from Street View through TeliportMe?
No. TeliportMe doesn’t have an option to unpublish panoramas from Street View.
