Simply put the WebcamPanel folder in your Project's Plugin folder "*yourproject/Plugins/WebcamPanel*"

## Useage
#### Setup
There's a little bit of setup required. Follow these steps:
To open the panel, make sure you enable "Show Plugin Content" in your content browser, then Navigate to "*WebcamPanel Content*" and run "*EW_WebcamPanel*"


1. Open up the media player at "*/WebcamPanel/Media/MP_Webcam*"
2. In the top left of the preview, select the folder icon and find your webcam

4. Open up the StreamMediaSource asset at "*/WebcamPanel/Media/Webcam_MediaSource*" and paste the URL you just copied then save.

5. Now as long as these steps were followed correctly and no refrences were broken along the way, all you need to do now is run the editor utility at "*/WebcamPanel/EW_WebcamPanel*"

Click the options button in the top left of the panel to open the options menu. Here you can select your input device, control various options such as the mask, background and chroma key settings (I don't own a greenscreen so I can't guarantee this works well, sorry!)

## Known Bugs

1. When entering PIE, the Webcam feed breaks. To fix this, press the refresh button on the panel. The same issue will occur on exiting PIE too.
1. Not all devices are supported - this is an issue with the Media Framework in UE4 and not something I can personally fix. OBS VirtualCam is not supported and my own Logitech C270 while detected by UE4, returns a blank stream with no error messages. (Smarter folk feel free to submit pull requests if you know how to fix it!)
2. If the panel is present in the layout when the editor is started, the aspect ratio is incorrect. To fix this, press the refresh button on the panel.
3. It's janky, I know, it's just a little bit of fun.
