Creating Ambassadors
Add Ambassadors into the system so that you can re-use them across Posts and Guided Tours without having to duplicate effort.
- On your CMS go to Site Options > Ambassador profiles and select 'Add new'
- In the first field, add the name of the Ambassador.
- Add the image of the Ambassador by selecting 'add image' - you can then upload the image or choose the image from your media library. If you leave this empty, the bubble shows a person icon on a dark circle rather than a blank space, so an ambassador without a photo still looks deliberate. An ambassador with audio and no video gets a microphone icon instead
- Position: Populate this field with the position details of the given Ambassador.
- Select publish! You have now created the Ambassador. See the steps below for how to then add this Ambassador to a Post or Guided Tour.
Adding Ambassador-led content through the bubble?
Ambassador-led content can be added to both Posts and Guided Tours. If both are populated, the Guided Tour content will take precedence.
Once video or audio is on the bubble you can add a transcript. Fill in Transcription to give students a plain text version, or switch on Real Time Transcription and upload an SRT or VTT file so the transcript follows the video as it plays. See Real-time transcription (SRT).
Adding Ambassador content to Guided Tours
- In the CMS, open the Guided Tour that you want to add the Ambassador bubble(s) to.
- In the Introduction panel, make sure that you’ve either selected an Ambassador or uploaded a thumbnail image, otherwise your Ambassador will not show.
- Under the Stops section, you should see each of the stops that take place on your tour. Find the stop to which you want to add Ambassador content.
- Use the Inline video/audio field to upload the video/audio of the Ambassador describing this space. For recommendations on video export configurations, see Ambassador Video Output Recommendations.
- The Transcription field can be used to enter a transcript to ensure WCAG compliance
- That’s it! You should now see your Ambassador content on the frontend.
Adding Ambassador content to Posts
- In the CMS, go to the given Post you want to add the Ambassador bubble to.
- On the Post, scroll to the section for “Ambassador Video”
- For the field “Use an image or an Ambassador”, select whether you want to use:
- Image - upload the image that you want to use in the “Thumbnail” field ; or
- Ambassador - select a pre-existing Ambassador that you added earlier in the Ambassador field.Use the Inline video/audio field to upload the video/audio of the Ambassador describing this space.
- The Transcription field can be used to enter a transcript to ensure WCAG compliance.
Note - Ambassador bubbles are only available on the 360 Panorama content type.
