    Did anyone tried this?

    I got the URL of the WebGL "index.html", and I set it on the "Secure Canvas URL" in the facebook test app settings.
    When I put the URL in the address bar of the browser - I see the WebGL page.
    But when I try to enter the facebook app, it shows blank where I should see the WebGL content.

    The error I get in the JaveScript Console:

    Cloud Build isn't really meant to be your public facing WebGL host. We restrict iframes for WebGL content from being hosted on the unity3d domain currently. The right way (for now) is to pull down the zip of the build from Cloud Build and self host it somewhere.

    We don't need it as public facing WebGL host, just want to test it internally.
    We thought that we can check if the build is success by checking with a private facebook test app. and because you already show the page in the browser, we thought that it'll make the process of testing it shorter. (As we won't need to upload it to a server, or set a local server, for two people to check)

    Ahh ok. Ya I agree that it definitely makes those kind of development scenarios more difficult and we are still discussing the right way to make WebGL content embeddable for cases like this without opening it up to serve as the public facing host for the content. I will keep you updated if the current plans change.

    Thanks.

    Also, I tried to enter the URL in incognito mode and got "Unauthorized" message - so I don't think that someone will use this URL as public on facebook :)

    No news. You will still need to host the build yourself if you intend to display the content on an external site.
