Video players are prefabs in VRChat worlds, using Udon, that allow users to share, or stream video content simultaneously. VRChat officially uses two types of video players in their SDK, VRCAVProVideoPlayer, and VRCUnityVideoPlayer[1]. However, there are different community-created video player prefabs, with different user interfaces, and preferences. All video players utilize world audio, and most video players have a volume slider on the user interface.

Video compatibility

Using VRChat's default settings, video players can play videos from their list of trusted sources, such as YouTube and Twitch. However, by toggling "Allow Untrusted URLs" in your settings, videos from most sources should be able to play and be watched, and as long as it's a supported video format, or stream codec, by the player.

Playing videos not from the video player allowlist[2] in Public instances may be limited, unless the world creator has that domain or host whitelisted.

  • Note: VRChat on Android will not play video if the host is not using HTTPS protocol.

In the SDK

You can add video players to your VRChat world with the SDK's VRCAVProVideoPlayer or VRCUnityVideoPlayer. The easiest way to put a Video Player in your Udon world is by using one of the Prefabs, which you can find in: Packages/VRChat SDK - Worlds/Samples/UdonExampleScene/Prefabs/VideoPlayers.
