Web development and publishing process

Build and deploy a Web application in mobile and desktop environments.

Before you get started, check the browser compatibility and technical limitations for Web. Make sure you’re aware of any limitations for developing a project for this platform.

For a guided tutorial of the Web platform, refer to Getting started with Unity Web.

To build and deploy a Web application, complete the following tasks:

Add the Web module

To get started with Web, add the Web module to your project. Once you add the module, you can access the Web Player and Build settings.

Set up a testing environment

To test your project, do either of the following:

  • Use the Build and Run option in the Unity Editor’s Build Settings.
  • Run your own web server.

If you run your own web server, Unity doesn’t need to rebuild the project for every test. Refer to Server configuration code samples and Deploy a web application for information about running your own server.

Profile and optimize

Before you publish, gather performance metrics and reduce the build size to make a project that runs smoothly with the best quality possible.

Use the Unity Profiler to get performance data and refer to Optimize your Web build and Optimize Web platform for mobile.

Host your build

You need to host projects online to make them accessible to users. Use web hosting services such as Unity Play depending on your needs.
