    Hey everyone, hope ya'll are doing well.
    So recently I've been doing some research on SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync and noticed that in a lot of the examples that I was seeing, SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync was being called in a Coroutine, rather than a regular function. So I was just wondering, is it preferable to call SceneManager.LoadLevelAsync in a Coroutine or a void function? If so, why?

    Coroutine is preferable because you don't know when the loading will be completed. Coroutine allows the rest of the app to continue running while waiting for the loading to finish.
