Hi all. I've been testing 360 videos with spatial audio made for YouTube (i.e. using 1st order Ambisonics) over a 5.1 array. That works well with the audio scene rotating with the video view :-) . Videos made for Facebook 360 don't reproduce spatial audio correctly (probably because FB uses three st...
