A few updates on the video:

1) The library now also supports Cloud Firestore basic requests (along with Auth, Storage and Cloud functions)

2) I will copy-paste John Louis-Strakes Lopez's comment on updates on the WebGL build:
Earlier in 2021 Unity made some modifications to their WebGL library, and a few things in this video became outdated. When applying the below tweaks, however, everything should work as expected:

Instead of saying in your JSLib, you want to say There's no need to include 'Module', and your browser is going to throw a hissy fit because it can't identify unityInstance. In addition, you need to make sure your script.onload function in index.html looks like this:

script.onload = () => {
createUnityInstance(canvas, config, (progress) => {
progressBarFull.style.width = 100 * progress + "%";
}).then((unityInstance) => {
window.unityInstance = unityInstance;
loadingBar.style.display = "none";
fullscreenButton.onclick = () => {

};
}).catch((message) => {
alert(message);
});

In other words, you need to incorporate the following line: window.unityInstance = unityInstance;

This is now fixed and incorporated in the library!

Videos like these are a rare gem. Just when you need it most. Very nice job and objective explanation, mate. So much content in 25 minutes.

Its been 2 years, and this is still the best solution out there!
Your library is so extensive and well thought out, you could sell it.
Thanks a lot

I cant begin to explain how useful your code has been. Thanks a lot!! Awesome work!

This is freakin awesome mate! Good job very straight forward.

I am trying to run your git project I build the auth scene, when I clicked the sign up button I got the error firebase not defined

Hello there!

Amazing! But do you think it's still working? Because I take the plug to test it, and just when I build the plugin test scene... I have a lot of errors in WebGL

Hello Domenico, I am new to your channel and I found it very useful. I am starting a chat in Unity and I am not sure if I should go with the Firebase SDK or trying to develop it using the Firebase Rest API. It is a simple project and I would like to have it available as a webgl first. I can see here you found a work around, at the same time can you tell me the drawback of developing it without the SDK? What are the main advantages of using the SDK? Is it that with rest API I cannot get instance updates?
