Question by Lunaria · Jan 29, 2015 at 02:32 PM · screendisplaymonitor

Can I display my screen on Unity?

Hello, developers!

I have trouble with 'How can I display my monitor's screen on Unity'.

It sounds weird, isn't it? But, it is nessary to my project, whether it is possible on Unity or not.

My project is like below.

-----(below)-----

1) Unity will be run on Laptop(Notebook).

2) Laptop connects to other monitor with RGB cable.

3) When Unity played, Unity displays the laptop's screen which is received other monitor.

-----(ends)-----

Though I'm not sure that above process would be done on Unity, to proceed the project, I tried to 3rd process.

Throughout the Answers and Google, I know that it is possible when I connect cam to laptop. But there's no answer or question about my topic. How to display my screen to Unity?

Thanks for reading this!

It is unclear what you are asking. I have several ideas of what you could be asking but they are all quite different.

Well, I think I spoke incoherently. $$anonymous$$y question is, how to (or is it possible to) display monitor's screen to Unity.

What should I say to make it more clearly? (It's not offending/satirizing you, please understand me. :))

You have two monitors. Your main monitor displays Unity. Your second $$anonymous$$onitor displays a video of Breaking Bad. You want breaking bad to appear in Unity Editor?

I think what the poster wants is for what is visible on the monitor, to also appear inside unity. The whole desktop projected on a plane.
