    I started Pathways on Unity Learn and I encountered the same issue in two separate tutorials.

    I published the two WebGL builds for the two tutorials and I tried to pass it to the "Add a link to your WebGL project" part but it says invalid URL.

    I published them to play.unity.com and itch.io. None of them was fine.

    Did you experience the same? Any workaround or did I miss something?

    One of the published builds:

    Yes I have the same - not sure if I am doing it right. When I click on your link I can play your game.

    Same, hopefully, this gets fixed soon.

    Edit: Just so everyone who reads after knows they are currently shutting down Unity Connect, and migrating projects to play.unity.com, it is likely related to this migration.

    It seems unity is aware of the issue and is currently trying to fix it.
    This was posted by the unity Staff on the "Explore a Microgame" comment section

    Hi all! Sorry for any issues you've encountered when trying to submit. The team is still working on a fix for this bug. For now you can save this tutorial for later (by tapping the blue banner outline) and check back soon. After the fix has been made, I'll be sure to message everyone who's posted here. Thank you for your patience! "

    Right because in order to provide good information you need to be perfect and never make a mistake? I think a little empathy for others would be an excellent opportunity for your self-development.

    Hope your day gets better so you can let go of that chip on your shoulder.

    If your aim is just go on to the next tutorial then choose one of the games already available and copy it's URL.

    You are right but as I see when they solve the issue you can "Edit submission", remove the "borrowed" app and link your own.

    https://play.unity.com

    Enter this link and than press the POST button on the top-right corner. After upload, take the URL.

    Love me. <3

    Nothing like Necro'ing a post on an issue caused by Unity making updates/changes, that was resolved a couple of days later and then trying to pat yourself on the back months after that like you solved something with your first post on the forums.

    Hi @eltahawyomar001, @Zoi90, @platonegorov and @Joeph_CHA ! Would you mind sharing the projects that aren't accepting Unity Play WebGL links? We'd be happy to look into these issues.

    The other thing we may want to check is what the requirement is for the stage you're on. Is it asking to submit your build, or are you trying to submit a game where it's asking for a video or image to be submitted? I think we only have the one error message, so it may not be clear on why the URL isn't accepted.

    Hi @GregoryLane, I've encountered the same issue with my project : https://play.unity.com/mg/other/sidescroller-doublejump
    Good luck squashing that bug and godspeed :)
    PS: here is what is displayed on the learn.unity page whenever I try to paste the url : https://imgur.com/gallery/GnLyQun
    note that typing manually the full url doesn't cause the project thumbnail to appear in the submission form

    Looks like this tutorial submission only requires a screenshot or video. Could you please try adding one of those instead? You can certainly include your playable URL in the description of your submission.

    I would like to mention that, at the moment, all programs must be safe because they protect our computer. In addition, I would also like to mention that I recently found this europe windows vps which has information on the right tools and services to develop your business. This allowed me to better understand the safety of my own devices and improve their operational process.

    It seems like the URL you provided is not accessible. The "invalid URL" error message could mean that the URL you entered is incorrect, or that the page is temporarily down.

    You can try the following solutions:

    • Make sure the URL is correct and try again
    • Check if the page is accessible from a web browser
    • Wait a few minutes and try again later
    If none of these solutions work, you can try publishing the WebGL build to a different hosting service and see if that resolves the issue.

    The solution in my case was to copy the link and then paste with (Ctrl + V) avoid the mouse
