Version: 3.0.0

• Introducing Quick Capture Mode: We've integrated support for capturing and sharing 360-degree photos and videos directly from the Avatour app using Insta360 cameras. The newly added "Quick Capture" mode is easily accessible from both the Camera and Gallery tabs. Additionally, you can conveniently rename your captures and organize them within specific workspaces prior to uploading.
• Wireless Live Streaming: We've introduced the capability to conduct wireless live streaming directly from Insta360 cameras. This eliminates the need for a physical cable connection between your phone and the camera. Embracing this wireless functionality is a breeze. Just connect to the camera's wireless access point. For instance, if you're using the ONE X2 model, look for the SSID to might look something like "ONE X2 7VMF4Q.OSC". Upon connection, you'll be prompted to enter a password. The default password for this purpose is '88888888'. However, please note that for streaming over this wireless connection, a robust 5G or LTE data connection is required.
