Unity Remote 5 - can you turn off the video to speed it up?

Hi all!

Just wondering if there’s a way to turn off the video on Unity remote 5 to speed up the interaction?
There used to be an option for unity remote 3 ages ago and I think it helped to speed things up but I can’t seem to find it now.
Maybe I have bad wifi or something but it’s pretty laggy for me and bad for testing anything other than simple button presses.

Thanks,
Pete

cant say anything about wifi, but with a cable the video stream may be choppy, but the input is sampled at 60fps

How do you get wifi on Unity Remote 5? Is it Android only? Doesn’t seem to be an option on iOS. It is the big thing I miss about Unity Remote 3, so would love it.

On android:
adb tcpip 5555(or any other port)
adb connect ipaddress_of_android_device:5555
That’s all. Now you have adb working on wifi and can use Unity remote on Wifi.
I think android remote works also for iOS projects.

To the OP, are you using jpg compression? If you use png compression in the editor settings it’s quite slower. I seem to recall you can also set it to downscale. It is reasonably fast for me, not realtime but usable.

Hi there,
Yeah I’m using jpg, it still seems to be super laggy.
It’s okay I’m just using it for broad testing and for anything else I’m doing a build.
Funny though, I always thought it was going over wifi because of the slow speed but it must have been going through the cable.
