Test viewing player presence

  1. Compile the project and play the game in the editor.

  2. To test the presence feature, you need to log into an account that already has friends. Alternatively, you can play an online game session with at least two players to view the recent player list. For more information, you can refer to the Add a friend and Recent players modules.

  3. From the Main Menu, navigate to Social and select any menu that has friends or player entries. For example, open the friend list to see your friends' online statuses displayed.
