Common Pitfalls

  • "My external USB webcam not listed in Vuforia." This can be caused by version migration issues, or when the webcam was unplugged while starting Unity.
  • "Vuforia only tracks one target at a time." There is a default limit of 1 tracking targets.

Where to change maximum simultaneous image tracking
