Help & Support

As far as I know iframes aren’t supported in VR mode correct?

so would something like this work instead? outputting to a video texture.

I’m not sure as it relies on a video HTML element to play the video itself. :thinking: Not sure how that is handled in VR.

if i were to enable vr would i be able to see a video texture via video frame?

would really be great if this could be made a feature soon. ability to view video inside vr is crucial, maybe iframes even.

Just tried this test project on the Oculus Quest PlayCanvas 3D HTML5 Game Engine

Video textures work fine (surprisingly!)

No, it does not. HTML elements being rendered in VR is not supported by browsers at the moment
