How can I create a shareable URL for others to use for accessing a playable version of my game?

Question

In GitHub, you are able to share a user-version of your uploaded project via a URL. Does BitBucket provide such a URL or do I need to use BitBucket Server?

I have made a Unity3D game that I want to share with others via a link. Where/how can I find this link?

Thank you.

Bitbucket doesn't offer a built-in way to directly host or share a playable version of your Unity3D game via a URL. You can upload your game files to Bitbucket, but users will only be able to download them to run locally. To share a playable version online, you should build your game for WebGL. Once built, you can host it on platforms like:

* GitHub Pages: Upload the WebGL build to a GitHub repository and enable GitHub Pages to get a shareable URL.

* Itch.io: Upload your WebGL build to Itch.io for easy sharing and community engagement.

* Unity Cloud Build: If you're using Unity, Unity Cloud Build offers hosting and provides a link to share.

If you already have a website, like your https://wordfeudcheatpro.com/, you can similarly host your game there or link to it for others to access. Just make sure the platform you're using supports WebGL games and provides an easy way to generate a URL for sharing.

Hi Jacob, I'm not sure I understand your question completely, so please feel free to add a clarification if needed :)

What you mean is that you want to share a link where other users can download the project, or a link where they can directly play the game you're hosting on Bitbucket Cloud?

For the first option, you can create a static website as explained at Publishing a website on Bitbucket Cloud.

For the second option, I'm afraid it's not possible to do that in Bitbucket Cloud.

Let us know if you have any questions!

At first, you have to decide - This is a private or public repository.

For private repository you have to grant permissions for each users.

Public repositories are available by URL.
