I haven't been able to get it work, and has been a challenge as it works on Wi-Fi Direct and not wi-fi through an access point.
However, when Android App support comes to Chormebooks, it might work, but you'd still be limited to the range of wi-fi direct, and more importantly, you're probably still limited to the circular view of the camera lens and not the full wide view.
A lot of potential here but I'm not sure how committed to improving the experience LG is.
Was wondering this same thing today. I was reading about the LG action cam and how it stream to youtube. I figured something like this should be available for the 360.
Hey I just got my h5 and so far loving it. Has anyone gotten the 360 cam? I'm excited to get it but have a question on it. How does the process for sharing the photos work? If I were to share it with an iOS device, do I share it like any other photo and they can see the 360 effect ?

No - sharing has been the biggest challenge with the camera. But I absolutely love the camera.
If you text it to them, or even email it, it almost always comes as a flat jpeg when opened on a mobile device or even desktop/laptop.
What I have taken to doing is to upload it to either Google Photos or Flickr, and then sharing direct links to the photos via text or email, but even then on iOS they have to tap the photo (or the 360 icon) to see it in it's full mode. It's a bit of a challenge and Android has an advantage on viewing these on mobile devices at the moment (especially if you share the link via Google Photos).
On a desktop/laptop, Google Photos or Flickr both look really nice and there is not much more work to be done by the end user. It's much more intuitive on a bigger screen.
Videos are also a challenge - you can upload them to Facebook without much issue. Youtube requires you to package them first before they can be viewed as 360.
It's definitely an early adopter problem and will probably get easier in time.
I'm still debating on getting it. I love the idea

Question about video length: I read in the manual that at highest video quality, time is limited to 20 minutes. However it also says that if it hits the maximum file size of 4 GB that it will continue recording in a new file. So is it possible to record longer than 20 minutes, and does it just break it into extra files?

That was not true of the original software, but I haven't tried if since the two updates. It was originally limited to just 20 minutes at a time, and then you had to hit record again.
But if it's in the manual that way now, I will try it again right now with the May 24th update and see what happens!
EDIT: Just to update, it did not roll into another file and continue recording. At 20 minutes (2.44 gb) it stopped recording and that was it (Software version R10510e).
OK, thanks for testing it out. Too bad, that is the one thing holding me up from buying one.
As long as there won't be a way to see pictures and videos without an online service, I won't buy it.
I haven't tried to share videos yet, but for the photos sphereshare.net is pretty cool. They have an Android app as well. I used my cam pretty heavily the first few days after I got it...Now it just sits. :-/
Video sharing remains an issue.
So far, the only way to get decent stitching is to download it from the 360cam wirelessly to the G5, then share that file.
Pulling the video off the microSD card from the 360cam, injecting the spatial metadata as instructed on this page:
https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6316263
and uploading those results to youtube gives really sh*tty stitching.
Has any tried taking a photo/video from two of these next to each other and putting it into a 3D 360 file for use in VR headsets? I really don't understand the point of using a VR headset with a 2D image, even if it is 360 degrees.

You don't need to bother with any of that. Just upload the video to YouTube and wait for a few minutes after the processing has finished. the 360 video works very well with YouTube with no stitching.
EDIT: I checked for another firmware update today and there was one waiting.

Hmm, the ones I uploaded without the 360 mod never got converted. And the ones that had the mod had crappy stitching.
Maybe I need to wait longer for the non-modded version to get processed?

Only if you don't edit the video in youtube editor. If you want to upload the original video, it does just fine, but cutting the time of the video down or fixing potential shaking and it won't be recognized as 360. At least in my experience.
I just started using it as a dashcam, it's pretty neat the only issue i have right now is the 20 minute limit, gotta figure out a way to have it start a new recording after the 20 minutes.

Here's an attachment picture of the auto 'stitching' boundary done by Youtube. Not good at all, compared to what you view on the phone after downloading:
Now, this was recorded without the more recent firmwares, just the one it came with.
I just upgraded the more recent 10G version, so maybe that makes a difference to youtube.

That's what I mean. The YouTube stitching is awful (using their tool).
Yes, you have to wait for quite a long time for the YouTube conversion to happen automatically after you upload the file. The longer the video, the longer the wait.
EDIT: I have noticed that the stitching is much worse in poor light conditions. Bright light, no problems.
So, still no way to selh host his videos/photos in 360. No self hostable player ?
I mean, I host all my services on personal servers at home, and don't want to be dependant of youtube/wathever to host my videos.
Questions about video :
The video resolution, is it only 2k?
Can we record 1080p? If yes, is it also limited to 20 minutes?
Thanks

Directly to what? I've been Hawaii this weekend and am giving my 360 cam a good break in... take pictures, transfer to phone, upload to Facebook flawlessly so far.
Hi,
According to Facebook,
A 360 photo allows you to see the photo from every angle including above, below, behind and next to you. When taking a 360 photo, the field of view will automatically be set to the middle of the photo.
You can create a 360 photo by using specific devices, apps, or software:
360-Enabled Camera
Take a 360 photo using one of the following:
Ricoh Theta S
Giroptic 360 Cam
Samsung Gear 360
LG 360 Cam
IC Realtech ALLie
360Fly
Panono
iPhone or iPad
Take a panorama using one of the following:
iPhone 4S or newer
iPad mini 2 or newer
iPad Air and iPad Air 2
iPad Pro
Samsung Galaxy
Take a panorama using one of the following in Surround Shot or Panorama mode:
Samsung Galaxy S5 or newer
Note 3 or newer
Photo Sphere Apps or Devices
Take a panorama using Street View, Google Camera, Cardboard Camera or Theta S.
Image-Stitching Software
Stitch images together using software like PTGui.
When you share these photos on Facebook, they'll automatically be converted into a 360 photo. I couldn't find a way or apk to take 360 degree photo using my oneplus one running CM13 Sultan ROM. Anyone have any idea how we can take 360 degree photo?
360 degree product photography Application
You can use Movense App for adding 360 Product Photography on android devices. Here you can capture motion panoramas. Instead of taking a still 360 degree panorama, you can now capture the motion of elements in the frame as well thru Moves.

I'm not sure if there are threads for the 360 mod camera already, but i haven't seen any here on moto z2 play. I just recently got this mod, and very impressed by it. Any way we can use it for other apps or probably used in any videochat app?
I own the mod and a z2 play, while I havent tested on video chat Apps, you can stream to FB (it will be 360 video), and some timer apps do capture with it, once connected it will be available as another camera input, but programs not designed for 360 video will get the flattened out image from the 2 sensors, depending on the app, the super duper extra wide video frame (composite from the 2 sensors) might crash it.
The 360 camera add-on to the PH-1 is super easy to use and takes really good 360 photos but.... I am taking some 360 photos (and videos) of my house that I am selling and want to know the best way to get them out there on the web for everyone to see what I have for sale.
What is the best way to share them?
Essential has this informtion:
https://support.essential.com/hc/en-us/articles/115015527068-Sharing-360-content-on-social-media
But not sure if this will really help with posting photos for selling my house...
The 360 content works anywhere that already supports 360 images. The image saved is just a flat image of all directions. The metadata attached to the file tells viewers how to render the image.
When I share, I usually just share the web link from Google Photos. That works in Chrome for desktop and mobile as well as the app. But for real estate, you'll probably be uploading it to their platform instead. In which case, you have to see if they support that kind of content.
