Setting up a Camera

How to setup a player camera for your multiplayer setup.

When it comes to multiplayer, a player's camera setup can often seem quite tricky to understand. In reality it's often quite simple, only one camera should exist for your local player.

The most reliable method is to create a camera prefab and instantiate it locally when the player's character spawns. Alternatively, you can place a camera in the scene ahead of time and have the player’s object "claim" it upon spawning.

Things get a bit more nuanced when working with Cinemachine. We'll briefly explore how to manage this setup effectively.
