How do I change my entire screen to the camera viewport when I hit play button?

When I press play, I want to see the world through the lens of my Camera Actor, like the view at the lower right. But it doesnt work that way. How can I make it happen? TIA.

In the camera details set it to possess player 0 :slight_smile:

Thank you for your reply. Can you tell me in detail where I can find it? Sorry and thank you!

Click the camera and look in the details panel

This is what I find instead:

I set Auto Receive input to Player 0 and it still does nothing :frowning: (I’m on UE5 if it helps)

Take another look at my pic :slight_smile:

Or is it a blueprint?

It’s a blueprint

It’s easier if you just drop a camera in the level. Then you can set it like I said above.

If you want it to be a blueprint, then it needs to inherit from Pawn, so you can possess it.

Oh okay. So you mean this isnt possible if this is an actor blueprint only? Thank you. I will change it into a pawn.

Then you can use the Game Mode override to use it

Update: Done making a camera pawn and applying what you said. It worked well. Thank you!
