Build, integrate, and answer how-to questions for Stream Chat in Unreal Engine games and apps. Use for Unreal Engine / UE5 / C++ / Blueprint / UMG project work - plugin install per engine version, StreamChatClientComponent wiring on the HUD, ConnectUser and tokens, channels and messages, the shipped WBP_* chat widgets, theming, cooking, and iOS / Android / desktop packaging. Triggers on unreal, unreal engine, ue5, ue 5.7, ue 5.8, .uproject, .uplugin, Build.cs, umg, blueprint, widget blueprint, StreamChat plugin, UStreamChatClientComponent, UChatChannel, FChannelProperties, WBP_TeamChat, in-game chat, game chat. Chat only - there is no Stream Video or Feeds SDK for Unreal.
Why this skill is useful
Adds executable scripts for version detection and plugin installation specific to Unreal Engine that are not publicly documented.
What it needs
Requires unreal-engine installed locally. Requires getstream account access. About 8k tokens when loaded. Last updated 2026-08-05. 17 stars on the source repository.
What this skill does
Stream Unreal - docs orchestrator for Unreal Engine Chat only. There is no Stream Video or Stream Feeds SDK for Unreal (/video/docs/unreal and the Feeds Unreal index both 404). If the user asks for calling or feeds in Unreal, say so up front and offer the alternatives (a platform SDK on a companion mobile app, or the REST/server API) rather than inventing an API. The SDK is in beta. IsBetaVersion: true in the .uplugin; the surface can change between releases, and C++ and Blueprint coverage differ per operation. State this whenever the user pins a version or plans an upgrade. This skill orchestrates: it gates the request against engine support and feature support, routes to the exact docs page, fetches it live, and applies it - while carrying the curated Unreal-specific knowledge the docs do not have (the ApiKey/BeginPlay ordering trap, the UMG widget layer, cooking, and the per-platform config that decides whether a packaged build is usable). Rules (read once per session): RULES.md - non-negotiable rules + Unreal pitfalls. Read before writing any code. --- Step 0: Three gates, before any code Resolve all three from the user's words plus a read-only probe. Each one can change the answer from "here is the code" to "that is not possible" - so none of them is optional, and none of them belongs in a compile error later. Gate 1: engine version (picks the release asset, or stops the task) Target engine What to do --- --- 5.7 or 5.8 Supported. Download the matching release asset - see setup.md 2. 4.27 / 5.0 / 5.1 Only v1.3.0 (Dec 2022) covers these. Say so: the API predates v2.0.0, BlockUser/UnblockUser/GetBlockedUsers do not exist, and none of this skill's v2 guidance is guaranteed to apply. 5.2 through 5.6 Hard stop - no release supports these. Say it immediately. The options are: upgrade the project to 5.7/5.8, or build the plugin from source against an unsupported engine (unverified, not recommended). Do not download an asset and hope. …
