How to use 360° Me mode for share-ready videos

The 360° Me mode is one of the most impressive features of Insta360 cameras, especially the Insta360 X5 . It allows you to film dynamic videos with a third-person perspective, without needing a cameraman. Combined with the invisible selfie stick and smooth stabilization, this mode is ideal for vlogs, solo adventures, or simply capturing spontaneous moments.

Here’s how to use it effectively to get share-ready videos in a snap.

What exactly is 360° Me mode?

Me mode is an intelligent tracking mode that automatically keeps the subject (you) in the center of the image, thanks to AI-powered 360° framing. You film all around you, and the camera selects the most interesting angle.

The invisible boom mic effect gives the impression that a camera is floating beside you. This creates a unique, professional-quality shot without the boom mic ever being visible.

How to activate Me mode on the Insta360 X5

Activating Me mode is simple:

1. Turn on your X5 and connect it to the Insta360 mobile app (or use the touchscreen).
2. In the capture modes, choose “Me Mode” .
3. Set the resolution to 4K 30fps or 60fps for smooth rendering.
4. Make sure the invisible pole is fully extended and centered.
5. Start recording and start moving!

The camera simultaneously records a 360° video and a flat MP4 file , ready to be shared without editing.
