Open House tabs and buttons · Virtual Tour Studio

In the Open House theme you can add up to two tabs of your own after Walk, 3D view and Floor plan, and up to 10 buttons of your own at the bottom right. They come with the Cool, Super Cool and Business plans.

On the free Hobby plan, Tabs and buttons shows what the paid plans add, with See plans, and a tour in Open House shows only its own buttons (Share, Fullscreen, VR mode and Sound), in their usual order. Tabs and buttons you made before stay saved, and visitors see them again after an upgrade.

How to:

In the editor, click the Theme tab.
Click Tabs and buttons in the panel. In the tour on the right, the dashed + Add tab after the views and the dashed + next to the bottom-right buttons open it too, and clicking one of your tabs or buttons there opens its settings.
Under Tabs, click Add a tab and choose Map or Photos. Under Buttons, click Add a button.

Changes save as you go, and the tour on the right shows them at once.

Map tab: shows where the home is, with one marker or several (up to 10), for example the house and its guest parking.

Choosing Map opens the map editor. A new map starts with a marker where the tour’s photos were taken, when they say.
Address: type the home’s address and pick it from the list: the selected marker moves there, or the first marker is added there.
Where the photos were taken: moves the selected marker to the tour’s own location.
Add a marker, then click the map where it goes. With no marker yet, clicking the map adds one.
To place a marker exactly, drag it, or click it and move it with the arrow keys (hold Shift for bigger steps).
Name each marker in the list, such as “Guest parking”. The first marker is the home: left empty, it shows the listing’s title, and it also shows the price (unless the price is hidden in the listing). The trash icon removes a marker.
Map or Satellite, and Zoom: Keep this zoom saves how close the map is now; Fit the markers goes back to showing every marker.
Click Done to close it. To open it again, click the tab in Tabs and buttons, then Edit the map….
Visitors see each marker as a tag with a house over its spot. They zoom with + and −, switch to satellite with the layers button, and click a marker to see it up close.
The map needs the internet, so it doesn’t load in a tour opened offline.

Photos tab: the home’s photos in a grid, the first one large. Visitors click a photo to see it full screen, with its caption, and swipe or use the arrows to go through the rest.

Choosing Photos opens the photo gallery editor: upload photos, add captions and drag them into order. On Super Cool and Business you can also Choose existing gallery… to show a reusable gallery.
To change the photos later, click the tab in Tabs and buttons, then the gallery under it.

Both tabs:

Name: each tab can have a name of its own, such as “Neighbourhood”. Left empty, it shows Map or Photos in each visitor’s language. Tab names, marker names and captions can be translated in the Languages panel.
Visitors don’t see a tab until it has something on it: a marker, or a photo. In the editor it shows anyway.
Delete tab… removes a tab. Deleting a Photos tab also deletes the photos uploaded for it (a reusable gallery stays).
Two tabs at most. On phones the row of views scrolls sideways, so every tab stays one swipe away.

Buttons: your own buttons work like the action buttons of the other themes. Add a button opens the same editor: choose what happens when visitors click (Go to another panorama, Show a popup, Open a link, Show a photo gallery, Play a slideshow, or Show a map of where the photos were taken), then an icon or text, and a tooltip. Click Save.

Order: the list holds your buttons and the theme’s own, Share, Fullscreen, VR mode and Sound. Drag a button by its handle, or use ⋯ › Move up or Move down next to it.
The first two show in the bar at the bottom right; the rest are in the ⋯ menu. On phones and other narrow screens, all of them are in ⋯.
A button shows only where it works: Fullscreen where the browser allows it (not on iPhones), VR mode on 360° photos, and Sound when the tour plays music. When one is missing, the next one moves up into the bar.
To change a button, click it in the list (or on the tour while the Theme tab is open). To remove it, use ⋯ › Delete… and confirm.
Your buttons are the same list as the action buttons of Basic, Simpli and Slide Menu 1: switching to one of those themes keeps them, in the same order, and on a paid plan buttons made there show in Open House. The Floor plan button that AI Floor Plan adds isn’t shown in Open House, because its own Floor plan view shows the drawings.
