Exporting for Desktop

To export your experience as a Desktop app (for Windows or macOS), follow the procedure below.

Instructions for Desktop start at 3:11.

Export Settings

• Make sure that Enable Desktop Camera is checked in the inspector of your interactive camera(s) (Interaction Rig).

• Go to File > Build Profiles (or Build Settings).

• Select your desired platform in the sidebar: Windows or macOS.

In Unity 2023 and prior, you must select Windows, Mac, Linux in the sidebar, then your desired platform in Target Platform.

• If you see an Install with Unity Hub button, click on it. Unity will then install the necessary modules for your selected platform. You may need to close and reopen Unity after the process.

• With your platform selected, click on Switch Platform at the bottom of the Build Profiles window. If you don't see this button that means your project is already set up with the correct platform.

Exporting for Desktop

• In File > Build Profiles (or Build Settings), make sure all necessary scene(s) of your experience are selected in the Scene List.

• Hit Build.

• Name your build, select a folder for it to be exported to, then click Save.

It will take a few minutes for your build to export. Once done, your exported files will automatically open in a new window.

Playing your Experience

Once you've exported your build, it's time to play!

• Open the .app (for macOS) or .exe (for Windows) file with the name of your experience. That's it!
