    Hey Guys!

    I have a question: How can I make a Web Player with a videochat where you can see all "chatting" users?

    Thx
    Buster

    If you're still interested in something like this, I have a voice chat solution I'm working on (see sig for a link), and I'm currently working on video chat functionality (the audio part is already mostly done) and hope to have an update on the asset store soon.

    EDIT: I've decided to drop the video chat. This is something I don't think is currently feasible in Unity. I can generate webtextures fine, I can serialize those across the network, and I can receive them, the only problem is actually getting those into a Texture2D, which generally involves SetPixels32 or LoadImage and Texture2D.Apply. Slow slow slow. Even running the video at 10FPS still brought my 60FPS demo down to 5FPS. Since my only other option is to lock out DirectX users altogether (OpenGL hacks), I'm just going to drop it.
    I guess at this point we can only put in feature requests for this stuff.
