# 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").

## 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").
