b. Click again on the button to stop recording

c. Combine those dots together and rename it 

C. Connecting 

a. Open Epic UE4, create a project 

b. Check Motive’s server and local interface  on the right side of the view point 

View Data Streaming on Motive and check the local interface (192.168.1.2)
