hi:  
I want to run a popup when the project start and display some information in the menu toolbar, used to alert production staff at all times. How to do this?

Hi,

Could I please get some more context on the functionality you are after? Is this an FMOD Studio alert or is this a custom Unity browser?

We have multiple versions of the project, and one person needs to work on both mobile and PC projects, so we need to be prompted when opening the project.

Hi,

Thanks for the further information. Would this pop-up be in FMOD or Unity?

Hi,

You can use the `alert()` function for popups in FMOD studio: [FMOD Studio | Scripting API Reference - alert(msg)](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/studio/scripting-api-reference-globals.html#alertmsg).

Hope this helps!
