The Igloo-Avatour integration enables the 360 video output to be displayed in a suitable format for Igloo immersive spaces. The integration can be activated using a button in the Avatour user interface and it can also be specified with a URL parameter. When connected to an Avatour session, the button bar at the bottom of the screen has a button called ‘Enable Igloo’.
