How can I add Ambient Audio?

 

With Ambient Audio you can add an audio clip that will autoplay when a viewer enters the scene – you can add 1 audio clip per scene. When you assign your audio clip to your scene you can select whether you would like it to play once or loop while clients view your scene.

 

To add Ambient Audio to your scene, start off by logging into your Yulio account and select the project you would like to edit.

 

On the project page, select the Audio tab and upload your audio files to the upload box. Here you will upload your files for both your Ambient Audio and Audio Hotspots.

 


You can upload as many audio files as you like, but you can only assign one audio file per scene to autoplay. 

 


Don’t forget, you can also upload audio clips to be added to your VR project as an Audio Hotspot. For a refresher on how to add audio hotspots to your scene, check out this article
.



Next, go to the Scenes tab. To add your Ambient Audio, click on the Audio icon beside the scene you would like to add audio to.

 

From there, select the audio clip you would like to assign as your Ambient Audio to autoplay for that scene and also click to select whether you would like the clip to play once and stop or loop.

Repeat the steps above for every scene you would like to add Ambient Audio to.

 

Now, when you view your project – the Ambient Audio will autoplay for that scene. 

While viewing, you can mute the audio by clicking on the Audio icon in the bottom right hand corner.
