Is there any way to have auto rotate automatically pause while viewing hotspots with pictures or a video?

@albug Thank you for the reply. I highly suggest your team adds the option to have the auto rotate pause, since it’s very distracting to have a pano rotate in the background while reading text, viewing pictures or watching an embedded video. If the pano could dim, the way it does in 3DVista, that would also be a welcome option.

@plberanek Auto rotate, stops when you move the mouse, but if you stay longer and look at a video or read a hotspot it can start moving. For now the soliton is to move the mouse a bit.
