Show device camera preview (Android & iOS)

Question

Hi, I'm new to Unity3D and I'm trying to create a simple example of how to use device camera. I did a little sample project, but can't figure it out what's the problem,because if I run the project on Android it doesn't show camera preview. Here is the script and MainCamera and Place's configurations:

 ![#pragma strict
 
 function Start () {
     Debug.Log("Start");
     var devices: WebCamDevice[] = WebCamTexture.devices;
     for (var i: int = 0; i < devices.Length; i++)
         Debug.Log(devices[i].name);
 
     var deviceCamera: GameObject = GameObject.FindWithTag("Player");
     var webcamTexture: WebCamTexture = new WebCamTexture();
     deviceCamera.GetComponent.<Renderer>().material.mainTexture = webcamTexture;
     webcamTexture.Play();
 }
 
 function Update () {
     Debug.Log("Update");
 }][1]

Thanks in advance!

I used RawImage as live window and it worked

 public class LiveShowWindow : MonoBehaviour {
     public RawImage rawimage;
     void Start() {
         WebCamTexture webcamTexture = new WebCamTexture(WebCamTexture.devices[WebCamTexture.devices.Length-1].name);
         rawimage.texture = webcamTexture;
         rawimage.material.mainTexture = webcamTexture;
         webcamTexture.Play();
     }
 }
