Channels

Channels reference the machine that runs the Unreal Engine or Designer project.

By assigning channels, users determine where content is played. Different channels can be selected for certain things based on a company’s requirements.

The following functions and properties are available for channels:

  • Create new
  • Save
  • Update
  • Duplicate
  • Remove
  • Sync
  • Display list
  • View Channel
  • Default
  • Group
  • Ungroup
  • Delete

Assign a channel to a project

Select the output channel in the Channels column of the template. A dropdown lists all the available channels.
