Description

Starts the camera.

Note that if you want to use WebCamTextures in the web player, you need to get the user's permission to do so. Call Application.RequestUserAuthorization before creating a WebCamTexture.

	// Starts the default camera and assigns the texture to the current renderer
	function Start () {
		var webcamTexture : WebCamTexture = WebCamTexture();
		renderer.material.mainTexture = webcamTexture;
		webcamTexture.Play();			
	}
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour {
    void Start() {
        WebCamTexture webcamTexture = new WebCamTexture();
        renderer.material.mainTexture = webcamTexture;
        webcamTexture.Play();
    }
}
