Template variables are a handy feature if you want to change the slight characteristics of a template or want to enable or disable different parts of the User Interface. Template variables can be modified at any point and don’t require a completely new app build.
Change the Template Variables:
- Navigate to Apps > All Apps > “app name”
- Click “Settings” under the template image
- Click “Change and Save”
- Click “save” on the app page
- Restart your App to see the result

The visual changes that can be modified with the template variables are:
- The 360 background panorama of your App
- The color scheme of your UI
- The Splash Image of your App (does require a new app build)
- The Logo of your App
Changes in functionality that can be made with template variables are:
- Enable / Disable media controls
- Enable / Disable VR controllers
- Enable / Disable Gaze control
- Enable / Disable automatic video downloading
- Enable / Disable autoplay
- Enable / Disable auto headset reset
Create your own custom template variables
It is also possible for developers to create or add custom template variables to an existing template or custom template; please check out the following article on how to do this.
