Networked player names design pattern
I want to use player names to log scores.
I want each player to have a name that is set locally before joining any realtime session.
I want to store that name to player prefs.
when a player joins a session, I want their name to be shown in a textmeshpro line above their head.
What is a good model example for this?

Hosting VR sessions on a PC downsides upsides tradeoffs
I want to let VR users join a created session on a PC. The PC build gets additional functionalities like instantiating prefabs on locations, or calculating the players movement and give them a networked color based on their movement.
In theory, doing most of the compute on a PC build will enable the session to have more VR players correct? since it will be less heavy for VR headsets and in VR networking this is for now the bottleneck.
I want to make my VR player prefab as light as possible and do as much stuff on gameobjects that are only enabled on PC.
Is this a good design, am I missing something essential?
what are the downsides, upsides and tradeofs about this methods?

Design Pattern for Avatar Systems
What is a good design pattern for avatar systems in multiplayer games?
I want to start with team colors. Team blue and team Red. I use the default avatars. At first the player doesnt have a team so it is neutral.
Should I store the team state as a networked Enum, and then in use the avatar manager to load prefabs for each player depending on the team enum?
Or am I missing something.

networked buttons / votes
I have 2 buttons in my Unity game
One for team blue and one for team red.
each player can vote which team is winning.
But you can only vote for 1 team. So its either team red or team blue.
I want to show the livescore in text that is networked.
I want to network the current votes for each time.
So the only thing that is networked should be the amount of votes each team has. and a player can only vote for one team.

host a multiplayer session on PC Editor
Is it possible to have a multiplayer session on Quest with events happening triggered from my Unity Editor.
I want to demo something and I want to have more control. For example, it's a networked club, can I skip through songs with editor buttons, can I control lightning from my editor. Making my PC technically the DJ booth?
This would be useful because I don't want to map all functionalities to my controllers, I just want to host on my PC, using NaughtyAttributes Buttons.
What is the downside about this?
Can I make a build for PC where I have an overlay with buttons? What is the limit?

Nullreference using the Avatar VR prefab.
I get a lot of nullreference errors when I add scripts to the avatar prefab. They reference to each other, for instance a script on the avatar head, referencing the mouth, and another scripts the movevement of the controllers. Am I missing something?
