Recording a 360-degree video is the easy part. Sharing it with everyone is where you have a decision to make.
One of the things that made 3D functionality on smartphones die so quickly was the inability to share your experiences with anyone else. Hooray, you captured this thing in 3D mode. Now what? For the most part, there was no answer.
Sharing 360-degree videos doesn't have the same problem. In fact, you're spoiled for choice. With Facebook and YouTube supporting 360 degree videos, and just about every manufacturer of 360-degree cameras offering its own hosting service for the images and videos your create, choosing where to host and share your 360-degree videos becomes more about the kind of experience you want your viewers to have, and less about the video itself.
Here's a look at a video captured on a that has been uploaded to Facebook, YouTube, and the 360fly video service, to see which serves your needs best.

As the creator of the camera and its software, you'd expect the 360fly hosting service to have the best quality when viewing your video. While that's certainly true of this video, the player is missing a number of features. There's only a couple of places you can easily share the link to this video to, and none of them grab your attention and let you know there's something cool happening here. You can't fullscreen the video in your browser, and you need the 360fly app to watch the video on your phone. It's not the easiest to share, but it sure looks nice.
