Tenant Turner will highlight YouTube and Vimeo videos as well as InsideMaps and Matterport 3D virtual tours in the photo carousel on the Listings Page and the Listings Widget on your website, so leads can view the property virtually before deciding if they'd like to see it in person. 

We will also display your YouTube videos to tenant leads after they've scheduled a showing with a "share" link. This is for YouTube videos only. Other media type tours will not display to leads on the confirmation page.

Depending on which property management software you use, the method for adding virtual tours is a bit different. If you are: 

  • Manually adding properties to Tenant Turner: Add your tour link under the Marketing > Visuals section.

  • Importing from Propertyware: Matterport, InsideMaps and Vimeo links can be added in the property description. The YouTube embed code can be added to the listing in Propertyware in the “Embedded Video” section. Note: To get the YouTube embed code click on the video and "view on youtube". As it is playing, right click and choose "copy embedded code.

  • Importing from Buildium: Tenant Turner will pull YouTube videos from your Buildium photo scroll. Matterport, InsideMaps and Vimeo links can be added in the property description.

  • Importing from Rent Manager: Use the "Virtual Tour" field in Rent Manager.

  • Importing from Appfolio: For YouTube videos, Appfolio has a "YouTube Video URL" field in the Marketing Information section. Matterport, InsideMaps and Vimeo links can be placed in the rental description.

Helpful tips: 

  1. Video tours should not be added to the rental description in an iframe. Direct links are best.

  2. Listing sites typically don't allow links that direct traffic away from their site, and so the links in your description will not be hyperlinked once they are syndicated to the listing sites. 

Note: If you are utilizing 3D Matterport or InsideMaps virtual tours Zillow Group will accept those links to be displayed on advertised listings!

Example video tour URL formats:

InsideMaps example:

where "GH3O3a2EX5" should be replaced with your specific InsideMaps tour ID.
