Google Nearby ONLY WORKS ON ANDROID DEVICES! You can't test it in editor or desktop builds.

Nearby Connections is a peer-to-peer networking API that allows apps to easily discover, connect to, and exchange data with nearby devices in real-time, regardless of network connectivity.

To better understand how it works, please read the official docs and explore the demo level, it is designed as a simple chat.

Some example use cases:

• Collaborative whiteboard: Jot ideas down with nearby participants on a shared virtual whiteboard.
• Local multiplayer gaming: Set up a multiplayer game and invite other users nearby to join.
• Multi-screen gaming: Use a phone or tablet as a game controller to play games displayed on a nearby large-screen Android device, such as Android TV.
