• create a new material by right clicking in the Project window and selecting create => material

• In the inspector window switch the skybox shader from standard to the 6 sided skybox

• Once you have selected your skybox texture you will drag each texture into the texture slots in order

• To apply the sky box go to window =>rendering => light settings

• now you can drag your skybox material into the skybox material setting in the light settings

• This will add your skybox to the scene
