Adding Links in the Web Player
The web player lets you create clickable canvases that can link to external websites or specific bookmarks within your scene. This feature allows for a range of creative uses, such as:
- Adding call-to-action buttons like “Shop Now” or “Learn More.”
- Hiding easter eggs for users to discover.
- Connecting multiple web scenes together to create complex worlds.
- Creating non-linear narratives with bookmark links.
- Combining links with Visibility to reveal objects upon interaction.
💡
The ability to add links is available only for users on Pro and Premium plans. If you’re on the Free plan, you will not see the option to add a link in the menu.
Adding Links to a Canvas
- Long press on a canvas in the Canvas List.
- Tap Add Link in the pop-up menu.
- The link settings UI will display:
- The name of the canvas.
- A preview thumbnail of the canvas.
- The current link assigned to the canvas (if any).
Bookmark Links
- In the link settings, go to the Bookmark tab.
- Select the desired bookmark from the list.
- Tap Save.
- After closing the UI, a link icon will appear in the Canvas List next to the link canvas.
- Publish your scene to the web.
- In the web player, tapping the linked canvas animates the camera to the corresponding bookmark.
External Links
- In the link settings, go to the Website tab.
- Paste the desired URL into the field.
- If available, a link preview will display metadata from the URL.

- In the web player, tapping the linked canvas opens the URL in a new browser tab.
💡
You can add a UTM source string to your URL to track web traffic from your scene if you use visitor analytics.
Testing Links
- Links only work in the web player after the scene is published – they cannot be tested in the authoring app.
- The clickable areas correspond to the visible parts of the linked canvas.
Design Tips for Interactive Canvases
- Make canvases look like buttons or add a highlight/text to indicate interactivity.
- For multiple interactive areas on the same canvas, split them into separate canvases by using the Parallel Project Selection tool in Selection Mode.
