Unity Remote 5

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

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.

I finally discovered the app didn't work because the phone developer mode was off. Samsung Note phone has a weird way of turning on the developer mode which I can't locate in the Setting menu. To turn on. Go to 》Setting》About Phone》Software Info. You'll see the Build Number field. Tap the field 7 times. You will see the Developer Mode enabled message at the bottom of the screen. Now go: 》Setting》Developer Options. Select and enable USB Debugging.

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.
