Real-time 3D collaboration in Unity Studio for faster feedback

Key features of Unity Studio real-time collaboration

Live multi-user editing

At the core of the feature is the ability for multiple users to work simultaneously in the same project draft. Rather than waiting for someone to finish their work before reviewing changes, teams can now collaborate in parallel. Changes appear live, including updates such as:

• Adding assets to the scene
• Changing material colors
• Updating the skybox
• Adjusting properties in the Inspector

Because updates are displayed in real time, teams no longer need to manually save drafts or refresh the page to stay current.

Why this matters

This reduces the lag between creation and feedback. It helps teams make decisions faster and ensures everyone works from the same version of the project.

Shared presence across the scene

Real-time collaboration gives users visibility into where teammates are working and what they are doing.

Participants can see:

• Other users’ cursors in the scene, displayed with names
• Other participants’ cameras and viewing direction
• Selected assets outlined by participant color
• Hierarchy selections marked with a colored dot
• Inspector values being edited, highlighted by participant color
• Each collaborator is assigned a different color, making it easier to understand activity at a glance.

Why this matters

When teams can see each other’s focus and actions directly in context, collaboration becomes more intuitive. This is especially helpful for reviewers who need shared visual understanding to avoid confusion and reduce back-and-forth.

Follow mode for guided reviews

Users can follow another participant’s camera during a live collaboration session.

This makes it possible to guide stakeholders or teammates through a scene in real time, helping everyone look at the same thing without separate walkthroughs or screenshots.

Why this matters

Follow mode supports clearer review sessions and faster decision-making. Instead of explaining changes through static materials, teams can review the experience together inside the 3D environment.

Visibility into active editing

Unity Studio shows when another participant is editing within the Inspector or working on a Logic script.

For example:

• A colored dot appears next to a value being edited in a component
• The edited value field is outlined in that participant’s color
• Logic scripts show clear indicators when someone is working on them

Why this matters

This makes collaboration more transparent and helps prevent confusion during active sessions. Team members can quickly understand ownership and activity without interrupting each other.

Real-time collaboration scope

Some limitations are in place to define the extent of the collaboration function:

• Up to 12 participants can work simultaneously in the same draft
• Only one participant can edit a Logic script at a time
• When one participant is editing a Logic script, others cannot open or edit that script

These guardrails help maintain clarity during live collaboration while still enabling broad team participation in a shared draft.
