Epub. One image across two pages. Landscape. Indesign CC 2019

Question

I was following the tutorial for creating a fixed layout Epub and the narrator drew attention to an image that spread across two pages on indesign and was displayed as one long image in his ebook reader. I have tried recreating this and my image gets split where a spine would be and is not one continuous image. I checked the document set up on the tutorial file and nothing special seems to have been done to this specific image to help it cross two pages.

The above image is the tutorial document and exported ebook - not my own attempt.

The problem is that this is what I am trying to do with other images, but when I create a new document and attempt to replicate it the image ends up splitting in two (like a left and right page).

The indesign document in the garbage screen grab was downloaded from a tutorial file so the step-by-step doesn't exist to show me any formatting that needs to happen prior to exporting.

How can I create a new document, spread one image across two pages (as above) and stop it from splitting when exporting as Epub fixed layout (like how the above was exported)

So, you are looking to do this with a new document?

Don’t use facing pages. Use mobile intent and iPad Retina landscape (you can try others but I’ve found this to be very good).

How is your document set up? What are your export settings? Did you use the convert facing pages to spreads command? Finally, how are you viewing the EPUB?
