We have decided to phase out the Mixed Reality Forums over the next few months in favor of other ways to connect with us.
The first way we want to connect with you is our mixed reality developer program, which you can sign up for at https://aka.ms/IWantMR.
The plan between now and the beginning of May is to clean up old, unanswered questions that are no longer relevant. The forums will remain open and usable.
On May 1st we will be locking the forums to new posts and replies. They will remain available for another three months for the purposes of searching them, and then they will be closed altogether on August 1st.
So, where does that leave our awesome community to ask questions? Well, there are a few places we want to engage with you. For technical questions, please use Stack Overflow, and tag your questions using either hololens or windows-mixed-reality. If you want to join in discussions, please do so in the HoloDevelopers Slack, which you can join by going to https://aka.ms/holodevelopers. And always feel free to hit us up on Twitter @MxdRealityDev.
Get copyclipboard content in Unity UWP app

Hi guys, I am trying to build a UWP app (HoloLens app), and I need to get the copy clipboard value in my app. (For example, my app opens the IE and lead it to a website. A key is generated on that website. Now that the key is too long and I do not want user to manually type it in my app. So most users will copy this long string into copy clipboard. Now the question is, how could I get the content of clipboard (just a string) in a UWP Unity app? Has anyone done this before?
Thank you so much!

OK, for those who are interested: I tried Clipboard.GetText(). It keeps giving me exception when I use it in my HoloLens app. (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35867427/read-text-from-clipboard) So I tried the GUIUtility.systemCopyBuffer() recommended from the above question. And it works perfectly on HoloLens or Windows UWP.
