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 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.
