Use Unity’s video system to integrate video into your game. Video footage can add realism, save on rendering complexity, or help you integrate content available externally.
To use video in Unity, import Video Clips and configure them using the Video Player component. The system allows you to feed video footage directly into the TextureAn image used when rendering a GameObject, Sprite, or UI element. Textures are often applied to the surface of a mesh to give it visual detail. More info

See in Glossary that has one. Unity then plays the Video on that Texture at run time.
Unity’s video features include the hardware-accelerated and software decoding of Video files, transparency support, multiple audio tracks, and network streaming.
