For the first time with this plugin you can meet when downloading browser games and applications on social networks. But the range of use is not limited to this. You can meet with Unity Player when using almost all the devices on which games are running.
What operating systems does the plugin run on?
As a rule, users first encounter the need to install the Unity Web plug-in in the browser of their PC. But it works not only with Windows. If we talk about standard platforms, then you can work with the plugin in Linux and OC X.
With the development of gaming applications for gadgets that work online and are more advanced in terms of graphics, you can meet the need to give Unity Player permission on devices with systems:
• Apple iOS;
• Android;
• Windows Phone.
As a game engine, Unity uses some models of consoles: Playstation, Wii, Xbox.
Why do I need to enable permission for the plugin?
Some time ago, most games ran on Adobe Flash Player, but with the development of graphics, a more serious platform was required. Unity Web Player is a cutting-edge application engine. It supports DirectX and OpenDL, so the games on it are often in no way inferior to those written for other engines, and often even surpass them in terms of performance.
Giving Unity Player permission is necessary so that you can launch the application and start working with it. Sometimes, with configured access in the browser, the plugin does not work. In this case, you must add it to the list of allowed applications of the antivirus program.
The easiest way to give permission to the plugin
Most often, as already mentioned, permission for the Unity Player plugin is required in browser games. This is due to the fact that this game engine transfers data more quickly and efficiently. Graphic objects in 3D on it are more realistic and work much faster than on other similar extensions.
After downloading and installing, you may be required to give Unity Player permission. If you work through a modern version of the browser, then after the first launch, a small window may appear under the address bar with a request for permission. You just need to make one click and agree with the changes.
Take advantage of the Chrome browser
On social networks, such as Odnoklassniki or VK, for some applications to work, you will also need to give Unity Player permission. The most often requirement appears in
browsers based on Chromium. In others, all plugins are enabled by default. Setting up does not take you much time. She does not need to have special knowledge.
If you do not receive a
pop-up window (often the program blocks them yourself), then for Unity Player you need permission to configure manually. To do this, go to the menu (button on the top line with three horizontal stripes) and open the "Advanced Settings" tab.
In them you will need to find the section that works with personal data, and the button "Content Settings". After clicking on it, you will see a list of features in which you need to refer to the menu item "Plugins". You need to choose to automatically execute all the plugins. In this case, they will work every time without additional confirmation.
If necessary, you can disable some of the modules in this section so that they are not executed. This may be necessary if you are not sure about the downloaded content. If you’re not used to working with the menu and get lost in a large number of tabs (especially if you have the latest browser version), then in Chrome, just enter the address chrome: // plugins / in a
new tab . After the transition, find the Unity Player in the list and set the marker opposite the phrase “Always allow”.
By analogy with Chrome, you can configure any other browser. The settings menu is about the same everywhere. The description is given specifically for the browser from Google, since most often it is with it that problems arise - all less common plugins are considered suspicious.
