Live Link UE4.6 connection issues Virtual Camera Setup

Tested Equipment: Macbook Pro - M1 Chip - OS Bigsur, PC - Windows 10, iPhone

Following the documentation, I first couldn’t establish a connection by using Live Link. Repeated error code: time out. This happened on both PC and Mac. A couple of things that need attention when troubleshooting:

  • On a PC, make sure that the network is set on public.

  • On a Mac, add the UE application to your firewall list.

  • Make sure to have all settings DONE before pressing connect button on Live Link

Remaining Issues:

  • Rendering issue

    • At this point, the sequencer renders out an entirely irrelevant video.

  • Constant Live Link disconnection

    • Possible solution: Turn off router's load balancing on a PC.
