Popup Intro
Set up a welcome popup in Panoee to show an image, video, or tour description before viewers enter a virtual tour.
Popup Intro lets you show a welcome screen before viewers start exploring a Panoee virtual tour. You can display a desktop/mobile image, a desktop/mobile video, or a selected tour description article, then let viewers close the popup and begin the tour.

Notes
- Use Image for a quick branded welcome screen, Video for a more immersive introduction, and Description Tour when you want to present richer written content before the tour begins.
- Prepare separate desktop and mobile media so the intro looks correct on different screen sizes.
- Keep the close button text short and clear.
- If Auto close is enabled, choose a duration long enough for viewers to understand the intro before it disappears.
