as well as for youtube, it would be useful to be able to make http requests in general.

I thought that Youtube was trying to Stop Users from doing this exact thing

You can strip out a chromium browser like Cobalt and lock it to certain websites like youtube and use that inside unity without worry over security risks

So when will we get this feature? It's quite a pain in vr to Ctrl v on your computer when you want to add a new video to watch~

Yeah, I say we need this because copying and pasting it when using VR to then fiddle with the keyboard ruins everything. I'm voting "up" on this. The Japanese community keeps pushing the boundary that I keep being surprised that the world ' Tsubokura's Home' does it neatly. Wishing you could however search it within the game itself.

We had searchable YouTube when we launched on Steam in Feb of 2016. It was fun and worked pretty well. It sadly had to go for a long drawn out reason with tech that wasn't connected to us. It also needed better and safer search. I personally really liked that feature. It allowed me to hang out and share videos with my friends including my own. Like to see it come back but probably not the near future. We've got too much other stuff in the works.

Ron Millar (CCO and Design) : Worth to ask since it has been nearly a year now that it is under review. Will it erver be back now that you recieved some pretty penny? Can't you just come up with an inhouse solution? This was a great feature and as good as JetDogs streaming prefab is, it is sort of annoying to open a browser and copy/paste the video adress.

InoXtiC:
search
is the key word here.InoXtiC
owlboy: don't be lazy.. just copy and paste.. come on..
Jamie Vatarga
InoXtiC: I find it an annoying process in vr though... having to go back to the computer to copy paste whenever you want to add a video
InoXtiC
Jamie Vatarga: erm maybe u could make a playlist in YouTube first? I not sure about that doe.. would that work?
owlboy
InoXtiC: Dude, this is not simple in VR. That’s the whole point.
Hagbard Celine
InoXtiC: That kills the VR feeling. May be ok if you are on desktop anyway but then again where is the pint in watching YT in a game on a screen when you can open a browser on your second screen for example?
Grigory Poselentsev
InoXtiC: please, I'd like to know. Although I'm on the Quest and not sure if it works for me. Link is coming out soon, so maybe then

This should absolutely be doable without webpanels.
We already can do URL entry on the fly so its just a matter of creating an acceptable UI for the youtube api search results using unity UI components.
