Hi, I want to know how to play a realtime vedio collected by the camera of a laptop in UE4. In Unity, The function, WebCamTexture.Play(), can have access to the camera, and take photos or vedio.

We don’t have a player plug-in for webcams and other video capture hardware yet, but it’s on the to-do list.

really, that sounds a good plan. Could you tell me how to develop this function like ‘webcams’ ?

If you want to integrate webcams yourself, you can write a plug-in for the Media Framework. There are various such plug-ins in the /Engine/Plugins/Media directory where you can see how it’s done.
