This tool can be used to run and host your WebGL player, website, or resources from a local folder while working in the editor.


It stands as a modest yet mighty improvement over the default Unity behavior, as it initiates a web server on demand rather than necessitating the pressing of the "Build and Launch" button to run a pre-existing WebGL build.


Features

- Simple and user-friendly editor interface

- Custom port selection [default is 8000]

- Server will start and close automatically while Unity is running

- Host any working directory and auto-sync to the latest build folder

- Automatically open web page on startup or after a build


Compatibility

- Unity Editor only

- Supports Gzip (2021.3+) and uncompressed format (WebGL build)

- Does NOT support Brotli compression (WebGL build)

- Works for Unity 2019.4+

- Works on Windows

- Unofficially supported on Mac as the server port cannot be reused or closed


How To Use

- Import the package

- Select Tools -> Battle Couch -> Web Server
