Hello,

I use the Place Actors tab to create a new Camera Actor. I place it, rotate it, and its frustum contains what I want. How do I make this new camera the default for when I hit the Play button? This is in UE 5.1.

Thank you for your time.

I found one approach to solving this problem.

I create, place, and rotate the camera, then I pull up the camera details and change Auto Activate for Player to Player 0.

You can try turning off the Auto Activate in the default camera and turn on Auto Active on the new camera.

If you’d like to switch between the cameras smoothly I recommend looking into a node called “Set View Target With Blend.”
