(I do not speak English) I would like to know if there is a way to show the user the video download time, it's not a problem with the package, but I think this is the best place to ask about it, and a sub-question youtube might not like this right? maybe in the case of a big audience.

It's possible, but comes to general download speed and ETA from a url, rather than something specific to this package. This package uses a UnityWebRequest, so it's possible to at least show the progress with https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Networking.UnityWebRequest-downloadProgress.html.

I don't think I will prioritize this on my side, but I'll keep this open in case someone wanted to pick this feature up and contributes a pull request.

Probably not. Obviously this package is to be used without warranty under the "unlicensed" license. For what youtube might or might not like, you should check youtube's TOS.

Closing since this is a feature is not tightly related to the package as I said, but something you would read from the networking library as I mentioned. It's been a few years, I don't think it will be a priority, but a pull request to implement this in a sample is welcome
