Links

Unity Chat SDK lets you encode URLs that begin with www, http, or https (plain links) so that they can be rendered as links.

Send message with links

You can attach links to the message and publish it using the SendText() method.

Method signature

Head over to the SendText() method for details.

Basic usage

Include these links in a text message: https://www.linkedin.com/mkelly_vp2 and https://admin.pubnub.com/#/login.

testChannel.Join();
testChannel.SendText("Message with https://www.linkedin.com/mkelly_vp2 and https://admin.pubnub.com/#/login", new SendTextParams()
    {
        TextLinks =
        [
            new TextLink()
            {
                StartIndex = 14,
                EndIndex = 47,
                Link = "https://www.linkedin.com/mkelly_vp2"
            },
            new TextLink()
            {
                StartIndex = 53,
