    Hello,

    I heard sometime back that Unity will be able to play live video streams, is there any update or status on the progress of this, or when it will be released?

    Thanks

    There is no roadmap to provide a Unity built-in solution for this kind of feature for WebGL. To develop a live video stream, look into JavaScript/HTML5 techniques for embedding a live video stream, and then embed such player on top of the HTML Canvas as a DOM element tree, or side by side with the Unity Canvas. That is not directly inside Unity, but at least will get the video feed on the same web page as the Unity content is.

    See resources such as https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US...o_delivery/Live_streaming_web_audio_and_video to get going.
