Unity C# Tutorial : Open Url on Button Click

Here is a short Unity 2019 tutorial in which I show how to open a Url in the default web browser on button click.

It can be done with a C# script in which the OpenUrl method of the Application class is used for a Url parameter.

I also use Textmesh Pro for the button text, because it offers the possibility to add an underline style to the text and to set the color to a bluetone so that the text can be stylized like a web link.

What you can do after that is to disable the button image, so that only the text is visible as Weblink, but the functionality of the button click is still available.

Thanks Jayanam! It worked perfect for me!
One question (from a newbie): would it be possible to make a 3D object seen from an image target, become a button that opens a URL?
Thanks again!

I want to open an url in my game. I mean, I want to press "E" for opening a webpage, but this webpage will be on my game screen, as a game window. How can I do that, please answer

Ooo good job for this video!! It is Useful for me to make link to my website!

I prefer to use a string parameter on the Method to avoid the use of the string on the inspector of the script.

public void OpenUrl(string p_url)
{
Application.OpenUrl(p_url);
}

This way on the OnClick Button Event you pass directly the url
