Mobile "movie background" texture

[5argon]

I see that now mobile movie texture is still unsupported. But as a first step can Unity implement movie background that resides on uGUI? This way the movie is still full screen like what’s currently works on mobile, but allows you to put other UI on top of it. (Maybe force the “Screen Overlay” mode)

From my guess it should be possible and probably with some optimization opportunity since it’s strictly full screen. It will be useful.

Unity introduced cross-platform movie support in 5.6 or 5.5 (can’t remember which one). It’s a full replacement for the legacy movie texture. Search for VideoPlayer component in unity. You can apply a video to any material, UI, or fullscreen.
