Hey everyone.
I just wanted to mention a plugin I’ve recently released which allows you to integrate with the Stream Chat service. The plugin includes the core functionality you need to interact with the Stream Chat API, with support for messages, channels, reactions and more. The plugin also incorporates a selection of Widgets so you can start building your own chat user experience in Unreal.
I recently published a blog post which shows you how to integrate the plugin to add “global chat” to your project. Check it out here. Once you’ve finished the tutorial your players will be able to chat in a global persistent chat room and post custom messages like high scores.
You can also have a look at a more straightforward tutorial I made on the main tutorial page.
The plugin is currently only available on GitHub but a Marketplace release is coming soon!
