For Multiple players:
Normal Youtube Videos:
Normal youtube videos works on all platforms the only one that we don’t do support is Webgl. For livestream videos check the topic below.
Livestream Support:
Live videos can be played on desktop platforms for now (Win,Mac, Linux), and Only in Unreal Engine 5 using this free VLC Plugin (tutorial here), other versions will be added based on interest. Since the actual build of Electra Player still not supporting some formats only desktop is available for now, soon as epic update the new Electra Player or we find a free good player with HLS Support we will support other platforms.
Now you can play youtube videos inside your unreal engine project, you can apply the video material to the object that you want to show the video.
Easy to use, we’ve spent the last 8 years supporting the game dev community and we’ve made it so that you can play youtube videos inside the game engine.
Demo Map project is inside the plugin content folder, enable show engine content in the ViewOptions and navigate to the utubeplayer content folder.
ATTENTION If you are having issues with playback contact me and i provide a fix soon as possible, marketplace updates take some time, so i can support you faster by email, kelvinparkour@gmail.com .
Usage:
Enable the plugin then use the blueprint that comes with the demo content, you can open the project or put utube folder in your project contents.
