About this app

With Unity Remote 5, you can use an Android device to view and test your game live, right inside the Unity Editor 5.4 or later. Unity Remote 5 makes your Android device act as remote control. It streams touch, accelerometer, gyroscope, webcam and screen orientation change events back to Unity Editor. This is useful for rapid development when you don't want to compile and deploy your project to Android device for each change and prefer to use the Unity Editor Game window instead.
Extended product documentation is available on Unity Manual: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/UnityRemote5.html

Ratings and reviews

This app works flawlessly. If it doesn't work for you it's because you need to set your build settings to Android in the unity editor, and close unity. Turn on developer mode on your device and, turn on USB DEBUGGING in the developer settings. Once you plug the USB into your computer, make sure file transfer is selected, and let it install the drivers it needs before re-opening unity. There are some good YouTube videos that walk you through it, step by step if you still can't get it working.

Works perfect for me. Read this before giving up. Some people have trouble because they aren't enabling "Developer Options" on their device. After enabling that, go into those settings and enable USB debugging. Then unplug and replug back in your device with unity open. Make sure Unity is set to "Android" in your build settings. If it's building for a Windows machine it's not going to have Android compatibility. If it's still not working, update unity.

Ok, I got it to work. You will need to make sure your phone is in developer mode and allows for USB debugging etc. Then you will likely see your device under File\Build Settings->Android->Run Device. Build and run it once. It works there after with press of play button. The resolution sucks and the lag as well. But it is a previewer so it does its job. Not the best and tons of space for improvements.
