Introduction to multiplayer widgets
Use multiplayer widgets to test specific stages of the Multiplayer Sessions workflow. Each multiplayer widget implements features of the Multiplayer Sessions package that uses the session SDK to group users together.
When you create a multiplayer widget, Unity creates GameObjects that contain the components that widget requires. Multiplayer widgets that use the session SDK contain the Create Session component. To use this component, configure it for the session you want to use.
