### Step 5

Once installation is complete, the **Convai Essentials - XR Prefab** will be added to your scene.

This is the only GameObject required for Convai to run in your scene.

### Step 6

The imported files can be found under **Assets > Convai > ConvaiXR**.

The final step is to import your character into the scene.

Everything is now set up! :tada::sunglasses:

{% hint style="info" %}
To activate Convai in your scene, simply add the **Convai Essentials - XR Prefab**.

There are no limitations on Third-Party SDKs, so you are free to use Convai with any XR SDK of your choice.
{% endhint %}
