Unreal Engine 5 Remote Control Notes

Introduction

What is it?

WebControl.StartServer Starts the web server and begins listening for incoming requests on port 30010.
WebControl.StopServer Stops the web server, preventing it from processing any further requests to the Unreal Editor instance.
WebControl.EnableServerOnStartup Automatically starts the web server whenever this project is opened in Unreal Engine in any supported mode (in the main Unreal Editor window, in a Play In Editor (PIE) session, or in Unreal Editor’s -game mode).

If you want to use it in a packaged build, you need to drag the preset into the scene. For more on using it after packaging, refer to this video.
