Room text in an info hotspot or in the Info and Media Panel?
Last checked 30 October 2026
Put the text that describes the whole room in the Info & Media Panel, and use an info hotspot for a note about one spot in the room.
The panel is a bar at the foot of the tour that shows the room's description first, then its pictures, videos, sound and documents as tiles (up to 50 of each kind), with the whole tour's media a click away. You write the text under Panorama description on the Panoramas tab, then tick Enable info and media panel on the Design tab. That switches Bottom nav – thumbnails off, because the panel takes its place, and on a phone the panel is hidden if Show on phones is unticked.
An info hotspot is a badge you place on the picture with Add Infotation on the Hotspots tab. A click opens a title (100 characters) and a description that takes HTML, with a picture if you like. Use it when the text belongs to a thing a visitor can point at, such as a fireplace.
The Info & Media Panel and Add info hotspots have the steps.
