If you're using this tutorial around the time of this comment, you maybe got an error similar to me:
6 errors when trying to hit play at 21:14 in the video. Something about a transport not being assigned.
In the video, the Network Manager component automatically adds another component to the object and finds it, but it didn't do it in my version of unity and mirror (and maybe not in yours too). To fix this, go to your NetworkManager gameObject, in the inspector, click "Add Component", then search for "Telepathy Transport (Script)", and add it. In the Network Manager component on the same object you just added the Telepathy Transport component to, look for a setting called "Transport" (Probably around half-way down), drag and drop the Telepathy Transport (Script) component to that setting, and you should be good to go. :)

Gorgeous tutorial! I was struggling to make at least something with multiplayer and also had to waste a lot of time compiling the project, this video helped me to fix all of my issues! Great guide!

Great intro !
It has been 2 days that I am trying to find up to date and interesting tutorials on mirror.
I think we have a winner !

Amazing tutorial! Thanks for setting this up! Love seeing insights into others' dev envs alongside explanations of how these systems work - ParrelSync is a great inclusion here!

I was watching a couple tutorials on mirror and I figured i got the basics but i was struggling a lot on this first step. This Hello World approach helps wonders. Thanks dude!

[devyncurley]

So well done! Thank you for putting in the effort for this, especially sharing how you use Parel Sync, and your set up on Visual Code.

I wish you the best of luck with this series! Do yourself a favor and write out a roadmap so that you can keep yourself on track. The scope you laid out in this video is large but man is it needed! I look forward to watching it!

[frederickfreund]

Thx a lot for that video! Very good quality and very helpful. I also like, that you introduce all the tools in this video. For my part I didnt hear of ParrelSync before and it seems to be super useful!

[Devir]

duuuude. awesome. I think you refreshed the tutorials of mirror, you picked up a better way for conducting the network idea, and all the preparation with github, parrelsync and asset store is fast and well done. (the git part is very begginer-friendly)
I gonna see it all. thanks!

[Kusaji]

Great first video, will be watching the rest of the series. Thank you.
