Streaming Video Like a Cinema

We have reached the final stretch of the book and the construction of our metaverse. It is time to fill our virtual world with fun functionalities to leave a mark on our future users. In the metaverse, you can do an infinite number of activities with your friends, such as watching a video or a film. In this chapter, we are going to discover a new Unity class, called VideoPlayer.

With VideoPlayer, we can play local videos or videos from an internet address as if they were textures, on any 3D object – fun, right?
