This guide will show you one way you can set-up your player camera for multiplayer when you are using the Cinemachine package. {% stepper %} {% step %} ### **Installing Cinemachine** The first step — if you haven't done so already — is to install [Cinemachine](https://unity.com/features/cinemachine) through the [Unity Package Manager](https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/the-package-manager).

{% endstep %} {% step %} ### **Adding the Cinemachine Brain** Now that we have **Cinemachine** installed we can set it up. Add the **Cinemachine Brain** component to the **Main Camera** game object in the scene.

{% endstep %} {% step %} ### **Giving the player a camera holder** Now create an empty Game Object on your **Player Prefab** and position it where you'd like. This will be our container for the **Cinemachine** **Camera**.

{% endstep %} {% step %} ### **Adding the Cinemachine Camera** Now simply add the **Cinemachine Camera** component to the newly created **CameraHolder** game object.

{% endstep %} {% step %} ### **Writing a PlayerCamera script** Let's now add the following `PlayerCamera` script to the **Player Prefab** that we will use to take control of our **Camera** once our player spawns in. {% code title="PlayerCamera.cs" lineNumbers="true" %} ```csharp using FishNet.Object; using Unity.Cinemachine; using UnityEngine; // This script will be a NetworkBehaviour so that we can use the OnStartClient override. public class PlayerCamera : NetworkBehaviour { [SerializeField] private CinemachineCamera _cinemachineCamera; // This method is called on the client after the object is spawned in. public override void OnStartClient() { // Simply enable our local cinemachine camera on the object if we are the owner. _cinemachineCamera.enabled = IsOwner; } } ``` {% endcode %} This script uses the [OnStartClient](/docs/guides/features/networked-gameobjects-and-scripts/network-behaviour-guides.md#onstartclient) override method from [NetworkBehaviour](/docs/guides/features/networked-gameobjects-and-scripts/network-behaviour-guides.md) to enable or disable the **Cinemachine Camera** component on the player objects depending on if they are our local player or not. {% endstep %} {% step %} ### **Assign your references to the script** Now select the **Player Camera** component in your **Player Prefab** and add drag the **Camera Holder** game object into the *Cinemachine Camera* field to assign it the component.

{% endstep %} {% step %} ### **Test the camera in-game** With all that set you should be able to run the game and see how the camera from the scene is controlled by only your local player.
