Unity supports multi-window functionality on Embedded Linux and QNX platforms through the

UnityEngine.Windowing

namespace and related platform APIs. These APIs enable you to create and manage multiple windows within your application:

```
GameWindowManager
```
: Creates secondary windows other than the main window and retrieves information on any existing active windows.
```
GameWindow
```
: Represents an individual window that's already created and allows you to control the window properties as required.
```
GameWindowCreationSettings
```
: Defines the window properties including the height, width of the window, and whether the window is resizable.

Platform-specific APIs

Unity provides additional Windowing APIs for Embedded Linux:

```
EmbeddedLinuxGameWindowCreationSettings
```
: Extends
```
GameWindowCreationSettings
```
with additional platform-specific settings, such as window transparency and IVI (In-Vehicle Infotainment) surface ID.
```
GameWindowExtensions
```
: Provides platform-specific extension methods to control the window input regions.
