    https://docs.unity.com/lobby/real-time-updates-with-events.html

    So I'm trying to follow the docs but when I copy the example it says LobbyEventCallbacks() doesn't exist

    Everything else works. I can create and join lobbies and I'm just polling for updates every second but I'd rather use this events system instead.


    What am I missing?

    Hey, that feature is going to be released in the next few weeks but is not currently available. You may have found a link that was unexpectedly released ahead of time to find that documentation. Do you remember where you found it so that we can clean it up?

    Just to be clear, this is coming soon and we whole heartedly support using push notifications instead of polling! :)

    Weird, when I go to https://docs.unity.com/lobby/ I don't see a link to that page anywhere. Do you have a specific page you were linked from?

    Damn, never thought of that one!

    I've reached out to the documentation team to see what we can do about making sure you can only search visible documentation.

    I am really looking forward to use that event system !

    Thanks

    Code (CSharp):
    1. if(!RealtimeUpdatesWithEventsIsReleased)
    2. {
    3. ManuallyPollForumForReleaseDate();
    4. }
    5. else
    6. {
    7. CelebrateAndContinueCoding();
    8. }

    Hi, I left some messages on slack but lobby events is freezing my editor.
    Also no android support.

    Great feedback spinaljack! I'd love to dive into this, as Android should be supported - and we definitely shouldn't be freezing up the editor! :)
    I'll try and find your post on slack. We may need more information to reproduce this on our end.

    I also wound up on this page but through google (my search query was "unity lobby events" and its the first result).

    I'm really looking forward to this feature being available!

    We're looking forward to it as well! =)
    Currently you are correct, the only way with the current package is to poll.
    We will update this thread once the lobby events functionality is publicly available.

    Oh, callbacks for lobbies seems so good, the release date is still not set?

    Are there any news on a public release of it (or a roadmap)? I saw the feature being used in the Game Lobby Sample and would like to do so as well.

    Hey, I just found Lobby Events in the official documentation even though it's only in prerelease packages:
    https://docs.unity.com/lobby/en/manual/lobby-events

    Since in the beginning this thread was about being able to view documentation for stuff that is not available yet, I thought it'd be appropriate to ask:

    Is there any way to only see the documentation for stuff that's already fully released?
    In other Unity docs pages, there is typically a version selection dropdown. Thanks!
