When I click the Start button, the Outliner window will automatically generate a temporary camera called CameraActor1, why it’s there, and what it does. I don’t have a default Pawnclass in my GameMode class

Hi Mjj001,

Funny question, all these years and I’ve never even thought to notice it!

I googled “unreal engine why is camera actor spawned on beginplay” and found [this thread](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/camera-actor-spawning-at-the-start-of-the-game/390760).

It looks like it is tied to PlayerCameraManager since when I try to delete it, it mentions the reference.

Cheers!
