Exporting for Web

To export your experience as a Web app, follow the procedure corresponding to your version of Unity.

Settings for Unity 6

  • From the Unity editor's menu bar, go to Zoe > Build Target Window.

  • Click on Switch build target to WebGL. Wait a moment for the process to complete.

Additional Settings

A few settings need to be activated for the Web export to work properly with Unity 6.

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

  • From the Build Profiles window, click on Player Settings.

  • Select Player from the sidebar.

  • Expand Other Settings.

    • Uncheck Auto Graphics API.

    • The Graphics API option is set to WebGL 2; change it to WebGPU (Experimental) by adding it with the + button. You can then remove WebGL 2 from the list by selecting it and clicking on the - button.

  • Still from the Player window, expand Publishing Settings.

    • Change Compression Format to Gzip.

    • Uncheck Data Caching.

    • Check Enable C/C++ Multithreading.

  • Select XR Plug-in Management from the sidebar.

    • From the Web tab (symbolized by a world globe), uncheck Initialize XR on Startup.

Exporting for Web

This process covers all versions of Unity.

  • 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 a build for web, it's time to play it.

  • Select your build and compress it as a .zip file (Windows: right-click on folder, Compress to... > ZIP File / macOS: right-click on folder, Compress "[Build name]").

Make sure to compress the root folder of your build and not a subfolder. The root folder is the one you named when exporting, and it always contains an index.html file.

  • Go to play.unity.com.

  • Log into your Unity account, then click on the Upload icon on the right side of the menu bar.

  • Select your build's ZIP file or simply drag and drop it into the Upload section.

  • Fill in the Title and Description fields, then hit Save.

If your build's visibility is set to Public, you'll be able to share it with anyone via an url address.

  • Hit the Play button to launch your experience!
