Just wondering if you had the chance to look into multiplayer 33:45 please? A topic that nobody is taking about is how to integrate a video chat into pixel streaming (espacially with riase of the work from home) and how can those webcams/video elements sent into unreal (maybe update a texture or image in widget) to give a sense of being in the 3D environment?
