Add Music and Sound to Your Virtual Tour

Music sets the mood of a tour, and a voice-over or room sound can bring a space to life. In TeliportMe you can add one track for the whole tour, give some panoramas their own sound, or both.

Music for the whole tour

  1. In the editor, open the Tour tab and expand Tour UI.
  2. Under Sound, choose + Add Sound.
  3. Pick a track from Default Audios, or upload your own MP3 under Your Audios with Upload. Search... finds a track by name.
  4. Choose Select on the track, then Save. “Tour sound updated” confirms it.

Then set how it plays. Each setting saves as you change it:

  • AutoplayStart the music as soon as the visitor is in the tour. It stays off unless you turn it on.
  • LoopPlay the track again from the start when it ends.
  • VolumeFrom 0 to 100%.

To swap the track, choose Change. To remove it, choose the bin next to its name.

A sound for one panorama

  1. Go to the panorama, open the Panorama tab and expand Advanced & Media.
  2. Under Background Sound, choose + Add Sound and pick a track the same way. “Pano sound updated” confirms it.

It has the same Autoplay, Loop and Volume settings, and Autoplay starts on. While visitors are in that panorama, its sound plays instead of the tour’s music.

Why the sound might not start

Browsers don’t play sound until a visitor clicks on the page. If your tour has a welcome screen, the click that enters the tour takes care of it. Without one, visitors are asked Enable audio? and choose Yes or No.

Tips

  • The Default Audios tracks are royalty-free, so you can use them in any tour, including commercial ones such as property listings.
  • Uploads must be MP3s. How big they can be depends on your plan; on the free trial it’s 20 MB. Your uploads are also in your media library.
  • Keep music quiet if the tour has video or voice-over hotspots, so visitors can hear them.
  • Only use music you have the rights to.
