14 July 2026

Once your Matterport virtual tour is ready there are lots of things you can do with it. Here is a quick, practical guide on some of the options.

Embed the tour on your website. You can include the 3D model directly within your web pages using an embed code. The tour integrates seamlessly in a similar way to a normal image but it’s interactive and allows visitors to your website to also explore your physical location.

This is very handy as any website can claim to have a great looking showroom or event space, etc. This however allows people to explore your space. Along with reenforcing your credibility, it also improves website engagement, keeps visitors on your site longer and provides an open house they can explore at their own pace at any time of day.

Share a link to a specific view. You navigate to a specific view, room or angle within the tour and press the ‘U’ key. It copies a link for that exact view straight to your clipboard. You can now send this link by email or WhstaApp to anyone, and it when the recipient clicks the link, it opens on the exact view you were looking at when you generated the link.

Send the direct virtual tour link. The tour canalso be sent as a direct link to anyone. Simply email or WhatsApp the link and people can view your space directly on any smartphone or computer.

Use when talking to builders or suppliers You can share the model with contractors so they can inspect the site remotely. They use the built-in measurement tool to check wall lengths, clearances, and ceiling heights. This stops the need for multiple physical site visits and speeds up the entire quoting process.

Publish to Google Street View You push the finished tour directly to a Google Business Profile. Customers click straight from Google Maps to walk inside the premises. This increases local visibility and builds immediate trust with people searching for the location online.

produce schematic floor plans. We can generate traditional 2D floor plans directly from the captured spatial data. This provides exact room dimensions and layouts for things like property listings, printed brochures, or planning applications.

Add information tags You pin text, videos, or external web links to physical objects inside the virtual space. You use these to highlight high-end features to potential buyers or to attach safety documents and user manuals to specific equipment for maintenance teams.
