We’re going to be grabbing our 360° video from a web address, so go ahead and paste in the following URL, and hit “upload”:

What’s that? An Error? Looks like the original four-minute HD video is a bit too big for our free-tier account. Fortunately, it’s hosted on Cloudinary, so we can just make one little change to the URL (adding du_120)...

https://res.cloudinary.com/de-demo/video/upload/du_120/v1518314168/tropical360_qjbr2d.mp4

...and cut the video in half on the fly, trimming it to 120 seconds, which gets us under the limit.
