UE 5.4, Vcam on adroid can't connect to my pc ip adress

Hello everyone,

if you don’t know, the latest update (5.4) allows Android users to download the Unreal Vcam app. I set up my project as I see in many videos and Unreal documentation. I activated all the plugins, I chose the right IP address of my pc, I carefully connected my pc and my laptop to the same wi-fi (no ethernet, I thought that was the problem ) but I can’t connect the application to my project. I even create a new blank one, but it’s the same effect. When I try to connect to my project with my laptop, I don’t see my project on the app and when I tried to manually enter my IP address on the app, it gives me an error message. ‘’ Unable to connect to xxx.xxx.x.xxx:xx, please check the IP adress and the network status of the Unreal Engine instance and try again.

thank you for reading, have a nice day.

Make sure that they vcam actor is enabled and you have an output provider. If you see the vcam HUD in the editor you should be fine. If that does not work try to temporarily disable any firewalls or defender to see if its possibly getting blocked.

Hi,

Thank for answer me. I check if Vcam actor is enable and it is. I disable my windows defender and my firewall, nothing change.

Do you see the HUD on the screen in the editor?

Yes, my Vcam hud is on the screen

Can you try manually setting the pixel streaming port to something else? If that does not work try the viewer port and make sure to match it on the vcam app.

At the top of the editor.
