# Web View

Essential Kit's WebView feature lets Unity teams display web content, run JavaScript, and enable web-to-game communication without maintaining platform-specific code. This tutorial walks you through setup, web view APIs, JavaScript interaction, and troubleshooting so you can integrate web content seamlessly.

## What You'll Learn

* Create and display web views with custom frame sizes and styles
* Load URLs, HTML strings, and local files into web views
* Execute JavaScript and receive results from web content
* Implement web-to-Unity communication using custom URL schemes
* Control web view lifecycle (show, hide, reload, clear cache)

## Why WebView Matters

* **Dynamic Content**: Display terms of service, privacy policies, and FAQs without app updates
* **Web Authentication**: Show OAuth login flows (Facebook, Google) with native web interface
* **HTML5 Games**: Run HTML5 mini-games or interactive content within your Unity app
* **Hybrid Features**: Integrate web-based UI for complex forms, dashboards, or admin tools

## Tutorial Roadmap

1. [Setup](/features/web-view/setup.md) - Enable the feature and configure platform permissions
2. [Usage](/features/web-view/usage.md) - Create web views, load content, JavaScript interaction, URL schemes
3. [Testing](https://github.com/voxelbusters/essential-kit-docs/blob/master/tutorials/v3/features/web-view/testing.md) - Device testing checklist and validation
4. [FAQ](/features/web-view/faq.md) - Troubleshoot common issues

## Key Use Cases

* **Terms & Conditions**: Display hosted legal documents with automatic updates
* **Social Login**: Show OAuth flows for Facebook, Google, Apple authentication
* **News Feed**: Display dynamic game news, announcements, and patch notes
* **HTML5 Mini-Games**: Run lightweight web games within your main game
* **Custom Ads**: Display full-screen promotional web content

## Prerequisites

* Unity project with Essential Kit v3 installed and WebView feature included
* iOS or Android target (WebView requires physical device testing)
* Web content to display (URL, HTML string, or local HTML file)
