In this video I demonstrate how to use the new player input components found in Unity’s new Input system to easily configure and implement a split screen multiplayer camera. Also, I demonstrate how to quickly install and configure the new input system and how you can integrate it into your project to support multiple devices and players.
Everything shown in the video can be downloaded from my Github repository so you can follow along, or reference my approach to creating a local co-op system in this project.
