Common Issues & Troubleshooting

Solutions to common questions and setup hiccups.


1. Web screen appears black on Meta Quest

  • Cause 1: Material Shading Model is not set to Unlit.
    • Fix: Open your material asset, change Shading Model to Unlit, and ensure the texture parameter RGB connects to Emissive Color.
  • Cause 2: Texture parameter name does not match.
    • Fix: Verify that the TextureSampleParameter2D name in your material matches TextureMaterialParameterName in the component Details Panel (Default: WebViewTexture).
  • Cause 3: Mesh has no UV mapping.
    • Fix: Ensure the 3D mesh has UV coordinates mapped in UV Channel 0.

2. VR Laser pointer clicks are not registering

  • Cause: bSupportUVFromHitResults is disabled in Unreal Physics Settings.
    • Fix: Open Project Settings → Physics → Optimization and check Support UV From Hit Results = True, or add bSupportUVFromHitResults=True to DefaultEngine.ini.

3. Web audio is muted or silent

  • Cause 1: Mute Audio (bMuted) is checked in the Details Panel.
    • Fix: Select QuestWebViewComponent and uncheck Mute Audio.
  • Cause 2: Web browser autoplay policy is blocking sound until user interaction.
    • Fix: Click the video or trigger PlayMedia() / ClickUV().
