# Setting Up a Camera
When it comes to multiplayer, a player's camera setup can seem quite tricky to understand. In reality it's often quite simple, only one[^1] 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](https://unity.com/features/cinemachine). We'll briefly explore how to manage this setup effectively.
[^1]: This is excluding cameras used for minimaps, rear view mirrors, etc.
