Possible to play YouTube videos? (On PC and on a surface in 3D)

Is it possible to stream a YouTube video URL in Unity in 3D, say on a wall surface within the world? I’ve seen solutions that work on iOS and I’ve seen some that work as a flat UI, but we’re interested to project the video onto a flat object within the 3D world and on PCs (SteamVR/ Vive, specifically). Thanks!

Does it also show the good value when you Debug.Log: playerScript.orientation instead of playerInstance.GetComponent<Player>().orientation

Thank you!
