PubNub Unity Chat API & SDK Docs v1.1.0

This SDK offers a set of handy methods to create your own feature-rich chat or add a chat to your existing application.

It exposes various PubNub APIs to Unity with twists:

• Tailored specifically to the chat use case by offering easy-to-use methods that let you do exactly what you want, like StartTyping() (a message) or Join() (a channel).
• Meant to be easy & intuitive to use as it focuses on features you would most likely build in your chat app, not PubNub APIs and all the technicalities behind them.
• Offers new chat options, like quotes, threads, or read receipts, that let you build a full-fledged app quickly.

Go to the Learn section to find out more about:

• Access control (authentication & authorization)
• Unity Chat SDK entities (building blocks of the Unity Chat SDK - find out what properties they have and which methods they expose)
• Glossary
