360 Camera Support

[chirkee]

I'm honestly surprised this isn't already a feature.

The mobile app should have a toggle for taking photos with a handheld 360 camera that is bluetooth connected to the mobile device. I should be able to select my Insta360 camera as the source of photos. Then, the desktop website would need to add support for viewing/interacting with 360 photos.

Looking for solutions to doing jobsite walkthroughs with a 360 camera. We already subscribe to companycam and would love it if this was in the product offering. I don't want another subscription.

Another facet of this could be to add support for drawing sets. Going on a site walk?

1. Create new companycam project
2. Upload drawing set
3. Walk through job with 360 camera, taking photos and mapping them to the drawing set.
4. Review drawing set back at a computer and view the 360 photos, mapped to specific locations on the drawing set.

Real-estate agents do this, and I think companycam should as well.

Hey there! Thanks for sharing your feedback!

Here's where things stand today: CompanyCam doesn't have native Bluetooth pairing for 360 cameras like the Insta360, and drawing-set/floor-plan pin mapping for a full 360 walkthrough tour isn't available either. So you're not missing a hidden setting, but we've logged both with our product team as ideas we're aware of. I can't promise development or a timeline, but feedback like this (with a clear use case) helps us prioritize. Thanks for laying out the full workflow!

I'd also recommend keeping an eye on our News Center for product releases: https://intercom.news/companycam

That said, there's good news: depending on your plan, you can upload your Insta360 photos to a CompanyCam project, and our 360 Photo Viewer will display them correctly (no stretching/distortion), so your team can view and interact with them right from the web app.

To enable this for a photo, tap the Info Icon in your Photo Viewer for an individual photo, then toggle on the 360 Photo Viewer. I'll share a screenshot of what that looks like.

Appreciate you walking through your workflow in such detail. Feedback like this is what gets ideas like this moving.
