Any guide for meta avatars network working with photon

I want to make a multiplayer expirience in VR with unity and I want to use de meta avatars SDK but I can't find a guide on how to do it, and I think is because I don't have to much expirience in networking but the documentation doesn't help me. I can use them locally very easily but for multiplayer I have no idea on how to implement this.

Just to add that is no like I don't know anything about multiplayer, I actually have a VR multiplayer proyect and it works perfect, is just that I want to have the meta avatars instead of custom made avatars because is so much work to do my own avatar system.

 

Hope sombody can help me with a guide or something to study how to do it! :c

    I've heard good things about this Unity asset: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/network/meta-avatars-pun2-vr-multiplayer-template-211918

    Here is a script I created for Meta Avatars + Photon Fusion, hope it helps:
     

     

    using Fusion;
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Oculus.Avatar2;

public class NetworkAvatar : NetworkBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] public OvrAvatarEntity Avatar;
    [SerializeField] public bool isLocal = true;
    private float cycleStartTime_Local = 0;
    private float intervalToSendData_Local = 0.08f;
    private List<byte[]> streamedDataList_Remote = new List<byte[]>();

    void LateUpdate()
    {
        if (isLocal) LocalLateUpdate();
    }
    void Update()
    {
        if (!isLocal) RemoteUpdate();
    }

#region Local Functions
    private void LocalLateUpdate()
    {
        float elapsedTime = Time.time - cycleStartTime_Local;
        if (elapsedTime <= intervalToSendData_Local) return;

        RecordAndSendStreamData();
        cycleStartTime_Local = Time.time;
    }

    void RecordAndSendStreamData()
    {
        byte[] bytes = Avatar.RecordStreamData(Avatar.activeStreamLod);
        if (bytes == null) return;

        RPC_ReceiveStreamData(bytes);
    }
#endregion

#region Remote Functions
    [Rpc(RpcSources.All, RpcTargets.All, InvokeLocal = false)]
    public void RPC_ReceiveStreamData(byte[] bytes)
    {
        streamedDataList_Remote.Add(bytes);
    }
    
    private void RemoteUpdate()
    {
        if (streamedDataList_Remote.Count == 0) return;

        byte[] firstBytesInList = streamedDataList_Remote[0];
        if (firstBytesInList != null)
        {
            Avatar.ApplyStreamData(firstBytesInList);
        }
        streamedDataList_Remote.RemoveAt(0);
    }
#endregion
}
