Support 360° video capture natively on Pros, Pods and in UC

It is possible to ingest 360° video via external media ingest but there is no support currently for 360° video capture with Echo360 appliances or Universal Capture.
A need for this has arisen at an Echo360 institution. They are already capturing 360° video but this must be manually uploaded and published.
Some scenarios where 360° video is used:
Open days, conferences, active learning forums, round table discussions, virtual performances, virtual labs, marketing, alumni interviews, virtual courtroom
The specific camera being used is a Ricoh Theta Z1 via the Ricoh Theta UVC driver

Hi, Paul: We're currently evaluating supporting 360-degree video on our appliances; for UC, we'll be issuing a beta release in early July that will support 360-degree. We'll be sure to include you in the upcoming notifications.

I note that https://echo360.canny.io/echo360-feature-requests/p/360-degree-camera-and-playback-support has been marked as planned - does this cover the same requirement?
