This feature allows to receive touch commands on your Mobile device.

2. Show browser mouse

Enable/ Disable this feature to see/hide the real browser mouse in the app while streaming. Click Save.

Press ''ESC'' to show the cursor and use it again during runtime.

3. Mouse Control Scheme

Choose Locked Mouse/ Hovering Mouse from the Mouse Control Scheme. Click Save.

3.1. Locked mouse

Locking the mouse cursor is often used in first-person or third-person games for a smooth experience.

This prevents the mouse cursor from leaving the game window and allows the game to capture mouse movement directly for controlling the camera or player character.

3.2. Hovering mouse

handling mouse hover events is a common requirement for user interface (UI) elements. This functionality allows you to detect when the mouse cursor is over a specific widget or object.

Limitations

Issue:

Mouse stopping at the edges of the viewport (ie. hitting both sides of the screen and stopping camera rotation instead of rotating 360 degrees and completing a full circle rotation)

Fix:

change the Mouse Control Scheme from ‘'Hovering mouse’' to ‘'Locked Mouse’' to get the full camera rotation while streaming your application.

Warning:

There is a bug from Epic’s side on UE 5.1.1 and 5.2 that causes issues showing the in game cursor while Pixel Streaming which is not from our side. https://github.com/EpicGames/PixelStreamingInfrastructure/issues/349

Check the above link to see how a user found a way to have an in-game cursor while Pixel Streaming.

Now you are ready to use the Mouse Tab’s features! if you want to check the next Tab’s features, you can find it here Tab: Keyboard
