We will start with the App.js file.

At the top of the file, we can see the import - App.css is where all CSS code is located. All the command names and values are imported from the utils folder.

To send the command from iframe to unreal engine, we have to call this function.

Here ‘val’ is the value of the command we are sending to UE.
Command button, onclick of the button we are sending the value
then we will create an object called obj which will have cmd and value keys.
Before posting the message using iframe, we have to check that iframe does exist, which you can see in the ‘if condition’.
Once we send the message from iframe to unreal, instantly we can see the changes in the live screen the Open call button got clicked and the avatar is in front of the open call button.
