Real-time collaboration
Work in the same Unity Studio draft with multiple users simultaneously. Real-time collaboration lets you view other participants' actions directly in the Scene view and editor panels. You can view the participants':- Cameras and their fields of view.
- Cursors in the Scene view.
- Selections in the Hierarchy panel.
- Live changes, such as adding scene assets or changing material colors.
- Edits in the Inspector panel or Logic scripts.
Real-time collaboration in Unity Studio
To start collaborating, open a draft from the Unity Studio main page. When other users join the draft, their participant icons appear at the top right of the Hierarchy panel. Hover over an icon to display the participant's full name. To view the full participant list, select the expand arrow next to the icons. Each participant has a unique color. Use this color to identify their camera, cursor, selections, and activity in the editor panels.Camera
Each participant has a camera icon in the Scene view that shows their live position and orientation in the scene. To view the scene from their perspective and follow their movements, select their participant icon in the Hierarchy panel. This helps you review their work and follow their workflow.Cursor movements and selections
In the Scene view, each participant's mouse cursor and name display as they navigate. When they click, a white raycast appears from their camera to the click location. If a participant selects an asset, the asset is outlined in their color. A colored dot also appears next to the asset in the Hierarchy panel.Inspector edits
When a participant edits a value in the Inspector panel, a colored dot appears next to the value. The value field is also outlined in their color. This identifies which participant is making changes to a specific asset or component in the scene.Logic script edits
When a participant edits a Logic script, Unity Studio outlines the component in the participant's color. Only one participant can edit a Logic script at a time. For more information, refer to Real-time collaboration limitations. In the Project panel, an actively edited Logic script is outlined in the participant's color. A colored dot also appears at the top right of the script.Follow a participant
Follow another participant to view the scene from their perspective. This helps you review their work and follow their workflow.- Select the participant's icon at the top right of the Hierarchy panel. Your view switches to the participant's camera.
- To stop following a participant, select the black cross at the bottom of the screen.
Search for a participant
If a draft has multiple users, search for a specific participant to find or follow them.- Select the expand arrow next to the participant icons.
- Enter a name in the search bar.
- Select the participant's name to follow them.
- Select their name again to stop following.
Real-time collaboration limitations
Real-time collaboration has the following limitations:- A maximum of 12 participants can work in the same draft simultaneously.
- When a participant edits a Logic script, other participants can't open or edit it.
