I've setup a Dahua PTZ to live stream using a client's YouTube account. All worked well EXCEPT ...

the livestream is stuck automatically as a 360 degree view! In other words completely useless to me and my client who specifically want to live stream a PTZ with pre-set tours at different times of the day etc etc - as I've done for another site a couple of years ago.

It seems like some "clever" person at google has decided to "improve" by automagically forcing the stream into this bizarre 360 degree view.

Does anyone know how to turn the d#$n setting off??
 
Hello, another Kiwi on here!

In Youtube streaming settings there is a switch for 360 video.

To disable the 360-degree view when live streaming from your Dahua PTZ camera to YouTube, you need to ensure that the stream is not recognized as a 360-degree video by YouTube. First, check your camera's streaming settings and ensure that the video output is set to standard (non-360) format. In the Dahua camera settings, look for the video encoding options and select a typical format (like H.264) that doesn't include 360-degree metadata.

Additionally, in your YouTube live stream settings, make sure you do not check any options related to 360-degree video. If the issue persists, try using different streaming software (like OBS) to manage the stream, ensuring that it outputs the correct format without any 360-degree metadata. This should resolve the issue and allow you to use the PTZ camera for standard live streaming with preset tours as intended.

I have a feeling the answer is yes.
Judging by other posts like it: After a week or month they edit the post to include a spam link.

Even some quoting with a spam link.
