How optimized is the Video Player component?

[DrDallas1]

Hia,

I would like to use the video player component in a pretty smart way for plenty of different gameplay components, but I wonder how optimized it is. I plan on using 20-60 video players, and I think it could be absolutely destructive to FPS. What do you guys think?

Probably not supporting hw decoding but shouldn't be a problem with medium resolutions, just test it in the game with 2-4 cores enabled

Edit: HW decoding is supported according to this page

Do you think it’s demanding client or server side? I’m not sure whether just clients or the server is impacted for the process

Only client, if you don't add it in Clip Prefab
