    What is your best 3rd party package that you have used with unity to integrate social media posting and sharing for your applications? I saw there is a facebook package on the asset store but i was wondering if you guys could give me some advice on what one/ones i should look into and try out. There seems to be tons of those out there for social media and chat and other types of social features to add to your games and applications thanks for the help!

    Most of the time I use iOS AirDrop / Android Native Sharing to share screenshots from my games, this can be achieved with Prime31 SocialNetworking / Prime31 EtceteraAndroid plugins - they a not cheap because contains more than only sharing.
    For my last project I start to use Unity's Everyplay to share gameplay videos - it's simple to use and absolutely free.

    awesome, thanks for the suggestions. I appreciate your time. What kinds of other features do the not cheap solutions you mentioned add as well? I have also been trying to decide if building a chat system from scratch or just finding a back end solution would be the best for that side as well. Do they include any kind of chat of communication inside your game possibilitys?
