    I've been building a desktop overlay app using Unity 2020.1.2f1 for Mac and was wondering if it is possible to remove the background from camera or make it transparent somehow?

    I wrote a native Objective-C plugin so that I can change the relevant Unity player NSWindow attributes but that is not enough as the camera background still shows up.

    The end goal would be that Unity player would only show the UI elements (clickable sprites) and nothing else.

    On Windows this works with some Windows APIs by setting the camera background to (0, 0, 0, 0).

    Nope. Ran out of ideas what to try.
