Fix connection issues when using Hololight Stream
Fix connection issues
Sometimes when creating your own application using Hololight Stream, you may run into connection issues. Here are some common issues that can interfere with establishing a connection.
Common issues and solutions
-
Make sure that the Hololight Stream application server is active.
-
Make sure both the server machine running the Stream Unity project and the client device are in the same network.
-
Make sure you are using the correct IP address.
Check your IP address
-
Open cmd.exe.
-
Type “ipconfig" into the terminal. Press the Enter key.
-
Find the IP Address labelled “IPv4 Address". That is your computer’s IP address.
Check if your firewall is blocking the connection
See Turn Microsoft Defender Firewall on or off for more information on how to enable and disable Microsoft Defender Firewall.
If after disabling the firewall you are able to connect, then you will need to adjust your firewall settings in order to use it with your Stream project. You can do this by adding Unity or your application as an allowed app through Windows Firewall. See Risks of allowing apps through Windows Defender Firewall for more information on how to add Unity or your Stream application to the list of allowed applications on Microsoft Defender Firewall.
