You can also create your own 360 degrees VR videos and can upload it on YouTube or other supported websites. There are only a few websites and cameras which are able to shoot and host 360-degree videos.
YouTube is compatible with Kodak SP360, Ricoh Theta, IC Real Tech Allie, and Giroptic 360cam cameras. To buy these you need to invest around 300 to 400 USD according to the availability of that camera.
Instead of buying these cameras you can also create your own rig by using a series of GoPro cameras, though this is an expensive solution but this is reliable as cameras are tested and gives you the best results.
While recording these 360-degree videos you must use the same type and model of cameras with the same settings, same quality.
Also keep this in mind that while shooting this video, every angle, every part of the room or where you are shooting will be recorded even the person who is controlling the recording will also be there so take these things into account while shooting. Try to keep the light the same for every angle so that the same quality video can be recorded without any problem.
