What are the Virtual Tour Requirements? Follow
Virtual Tours are often used on listings. Whether you are creating these videos yourself or using a service provider, these rules must be followed:
- No contact information, promotional messages, or advertisements of any kind may appear in the video or on the hosting site.
- There can be no live links leading the viewer away from the Virtual Tour, this includes branded QR Codes.
- TMLS media should not include the visibility of any person(s) representing the firm , people living in the home, or groups of people participating in neighboring activities, which could inadvertently infer a preference of representation of the property or neighborhood.
Hosting Sites
- Please note that the MLS does not accept YouTube and Facebook virtual tours/videos due to the many live marketing links associated on the landing pages.
- Free video hosting is available through the WellcomeMat platform, which has the ability to produce unbranded videos that meet Virtual Tour requirements. WelcomeMat can be accessed through your listing under Scheduled Marketing Activities.
Copyright Disclaimer: If you are not the owner of the photos or Virtual Tours/Videos uploaded to your listing, make sure you have obtained proper written permissions to use the material prior to uploading or linking to it. Media Guidelines PDF Download
