Point Hotspots are points of interactivity within the project. Learn how to add them to your project.
To add a point hotspot:

Or, use the keyboard shortcut, P, to activate Point Hotspot mode.
Point Hotspot Viewer Mode -
Double-click anywhere within the Viewer to add a point hotspot. A red target icon, will appear representing this point.
The current hotspot (that is being edited) is red and is edited in the Properties. A non-active hotspot is blue.
★ Depending on the source, the Skin-ID will be automatically populated for use in the Skin Editor. The Skin-ID is used in a hotspot template. The hotspot template provides the hotspot icon and skin actions.
Drag to Add
You can also drag videos, YouTube URLs, Vimeo URLs, images, website URLs, and PDFs into the Viewerwhen the point hotspot viewer mode is activated. Each element will be recognized appropriately and the correct hotspot type applied.

If using Vimeo or YouTube, add the video’s URL: https://vimeo.com/159223909
