Hey guys n girls
Is it possible to get Live Webcam feed into the Unreal Editor so for example I load up my game and in the background or something on a monitor there is a live feed from my webcam? If anyone knows a way of doing this that would be great! Would prefer if it is in Blueprint but if there is a C++ way I will accept that answer as well! Thanks in advance guys!

UE4 does not support camera feed as i know which is very platform depend thing, you would need add support yourself via C++, but you would need to do that for each platform you support or else you use some library that do that for you. There also might be UE4 plugin already for that if you search.

I arrived here via google with the same question. Epic needs to implement the webcam feed thing, it’s going to be a major dealbreaker in VR if this isn’t supported soon.

Hey Raiden I need same feature, so tired of searching for this… Did you find the way? If so please do share.

You need to implement the camera feed yourself through C++ programming I’m afraid and I don’t know how to do that. Sorry dude.
