Look at the below link it will help you.

@vvkumar06 - are you sure this is what you are looking for? From your description, I though you wanted to pull in a video feed from an external camera. The above are showing Unity cameras in the scene.
Try this code attached on your Plane and it will display your webcam on it. It does so by replacing the material of the plane with a WebCamTexture material.
using UnityEngine;
public class DisplayWebcam : MonoBehaviour {
void Start() {
Debug.Log("DisplayWebcam Initialize");
// Transform values of the plane to get you started:
// position 0 0 200
// rotation 90 180 0
// scale 80 1 40
var devices = WebCamTexture.devices;
var backCamName = "";
if(devices.Length > 0) backCamName = devices[0].name;
for(int i = 0; i < devices.Length; i++) {
Debug.Log("Device:" + devices[i].name + "IS FRONT FACING:" + devices[i].isFrontFacing);
if(!devices[i].isFrontFacing) {
backCamName = devices[i].name;
}
}
var CameraTexture = new WebCamTexture(backCamName, 10000, 10000, 30);
CameraTexture.Play();
var renderer = GetComponent<Renderer>();
renderer.material.mainTexture = CameraTexture;
}
void Update () {
}
}
The image is upside down so I rotated the plane 180 degrees
