How to send a Pixel Streaming Response
Step1:
To Open a URL on the user's side, you have to pass the URL of the website from the unreal app to the browser side through the JSON object.
Step2:
Our browser-side system will collect that URL from JSON object and open a new Tab in the user's browser with the given URL.
Json Syntax:
{"cmd":"launchUrl","value":"Put URL Here"}
Example Json to send from unreal app to browser :
{"cmd":"launchUrl","value":"http://www.eagle3dstreaming.com/ "}

Warning 🛑
Test your Unreal App Locally with Epic’s Signalling Server in another device than the one where you re streaming your App in the Browser !
If you are testing your App Locally with Epic’s Signalling Server, you should test it in a separate machine other than the one where your Unreal App is running in the Browser.
You can test it Locally with Epic’s SS on your Mobile (it has to be a different device)
Refer to this document for the Mobile Local Signalling Server test.
