# Exporting for Desktop To export your experience as a Desktop app (for Windows or macOS), follow the procedure below. {% embed url="" %} Instructions for Desktop start at 3:11. {% endembed %} ### 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. {% hint style="info" %} In Unity 2023 and prior, you must select `Windows, Mac, Linux` in the sidebar, then your desired platform in `Target Platform`. {% endhint %} * 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.
