Yes, folks, you can use a regular web cam inside Unreal Engine 5 without the need for a capture card or any other hardware.
My previous post video was very crappy, so here’s a new one. Trust me, it takes patients and determination to get this to work. I had almost given up and I re-installed UE 4.27.
Next up, getting the video image inside the 3d environment so it looks convincing. This might take a while as I fiddle some more . . .
UPDATE! It works unlike before when I closed UE 5! Awesome! I ended up sending my Elgato capture card back as I could only take pictures and not video.
