@Metroplex360, a different announcement then the email they sent out telling at MSP's to hold their horses because they actually are sending out referrals even though we never get them?

The link should contain the model number, m=xxxxxxxxxx. I changed the virtual tour link in one of my listings to a secondary page. The secondary page contained the full MP link and it worked. It seems like zillow is removing the model number from the MP links. Does this have anything to do with zillow now charging to post a video??

My recent $2m listing tour is broken too. It's Zillows fault, not Matterport's. However, it's Matterport's responsibility to call Zillow and threaten them with their legal department (if possible) as Zillow is messing up Matterport links directly which is affecting their userbase and singling them out as losers.

DanSmigrod has a deal with Matterport. Matterport has promised to only pretend to run a referral network in order to help We-Get-Around grow and foster a community of passionate photographers who get valuable leads that have been vetted by our fearless community leader.

Thread going off point. If your URLs are not showing properly in silliest. Send your client the correct URL and have them submit a ticket from within their account. It's the fastest way to get listings corrected.

Zillow has switched how they display by adding the tail URL. If you look st other virtual tour link not matterport they have the same ending.

This is just a goof that they are addressing as we speak and will correct soon. However submit tickets to make sure listings get updated sooner than later.

Thanks Forum members for all the feedback. I'm glad we were able to find out it wasn't just an isolated incident. I just wonder how long this has been going on for?

I noticed the new url ending a few days ago. This is a recent issue

I converted my MP link using tinyurl. I posted the tinyurl in the Zillow virtual link location. It works fine with the tinyurl link. So Zillow is definitely modifying links to MP models by removing the model number making the link usless.

It's been 3 days. It's still not fixed. Not happy with Zillow.

Makes me wonder if they're even going to fix it. They might cut us out so their Video tours get more action.

that is the latest. Also it's not just a Matterport issue. Other virtual tour solutions are affected too.

Has anyone had any luck with the TinyURl conversion? We have tried couple different ways and still no luck. Although,one customer said if they type in the url it works some of the time. This is only on Zillow.

The tinyurl link from within Zillow has been working for me so far. When I changed the link to tinyurl directly in Zillow the MLS overwrote it within 24 hrs. Once I changed the link to the tinyurl link in the MLS system, Zillow has been working.

Click the Virtual Tour Link in the Facts section.

For those that have WP3DModels the links works fine. Another great reason to upgrade your membership here

Marketing opportunity with your client base. SEND to them now.

For those that have the better membership level here and have wp3dmodels you HAVE to send a notice to your agents that they have a marketing advantage right now over others that use matterport for a virtual tour.

They will appreciate it and can relay it to their seller and then you will be remembered as having a marketing advantage.

Please let them know.

You need to tell your agents who in turn will show their sellers that they have a marketing advantage right now till zillow fixes it (they say it will be another week).

So they tell their client "zillow has had this problem for over a week and wont be fixed for another week but if you check your listing you will see YOUR marketing is working when others with this 3D marketing are not"

I know this thread has been going on for days...has anyone heard or been able to add to Zillow? I have check several of our clients and no one is able to link to Zillow and all are a bit flusterated. Just curious if there is a new ETA on this fix?

I haven't heard anything. I finally just copy and pasted my branded Matterport links into Bit.ly. Sent my clients a message and told them to paste the new link into Zillow. Or whatever site their company uses to distribute their listings to all the websites their broker subscribes to.

I am giving one of my customers a tiny URL to try. I was doing a demo today and my zillow was down. Really pissed me off. I was in front of 10 potential realtors.

Hey Michael,

Hope you're doing great. Thanks for writing in.

What's going on is Zillow has a bug. People were using tinyurl.com for a workaround for the last week but supposedly Zillow floated the fix for this bug today.

Please try again and let me know either way, so I can pass on status?

Thanks much.

I"ll watch for your reply.

Best,

Glenn
