# 360 screens

You can use 360 screens to display 360° videos. They're spherical screens, but, depending on their position and other geometry in the environment, you may only see the top hemisphere.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you want to display a complete, immersive 360° video, you can use the 360 Video Room location. For instructions on how to play a video in a experience that uses the 360 Video Room, see [playing-shared-media](https://docs.engagevr.io/engage/experience-editor/videos-and-screens/playing-shared-media "mention").
{% endhint %}

2. From the panel on the left-hand side, select <img src="https://3460182399-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FwVx6bvwqEE7tD0TYOcfj%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-b98651caafb53c306344b441591d797308c8f683%2Ficon_ifx.png?alt=media&#x26;token=4b4f10e0-26dc-4925-ba60-254b253bb1f4" alt="" data-size="line"> **IFX**.
3. From the library of IFX, select the **External Video Sphere 360 4K** IFX.
4. Place the IFX in the environment. For more information about the controls that are available when you add an IFX, see [adding-ifx](https://docs.engagevr.io/engage/advanced-features/using-ifx/adding-ifx "mention").

## 360 screen effect options

For instructions on how to access effect options, see [effect-options](https://docs.engagevr.io/engage/experience-editor/working-with-objects/effect-options "mention"). Any additional settings depend on whether the 360 screen uses shared media or an external URL. For more information, see [#shared-media-screen-effect-options](https://docs.engagevr.io/engage/experience-editor/shared-media-screens#shared-media-screen-effect-options "mention") or [#external-url-screen-effect-options](https://docs.engagevr.io/engage/experience-editor/external-url-screens#external-url-screen-effect-options "mention").
