About

You can set a custom tag for VR mode through the player’s Advanced Settings. This configuration is not exposed in the standard Player Studio interface.

Use this setting to control which tagged videos trigger VR mode in the player. By default, any video tagged 360 triggers VR mode. You can define a different tag to prevent accidental activation.
