# Game <--> Browser Communication

{% hint style="warning" %}
We are currently investigating stability issues in this functionality. Please reach out to support if this is not functioning as expected.
{% endhint %}

You can send messages from the game to the browser and back using JSON communication.

This guide assumes you've followed [Setup the browser widget](/platform-documentation/creation/unreal-development/features-and-tutorials/web-browser/setup-the-browser-widget.md). The example will use [In-world browser](/platform-documentation/creation/unreal-development/features-and-tutorials/web-browser/in-world-browser.md) as the example.

Communication with a viewport browser is the same except for where the difference is specified.

### Sending a message from the browser to the game

We'll add a feature that on clicking a button in the browser, we'll print the text input provided in the browser in the game client.

### Sending a message from the game to the browser

We'll add a feature that will display the player's XYZ position in the browser.

First, make a blueprint structure called `SPosition` with the parameters `X Y Z`. We'll use this to serialize the vector into a JSON struct.

In your browser widget blueprint, add the following nodes. This will call the function `setPlayerPosition` in the browser every tick alongside the player's location as a struct.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.otherside.xyz/platform-documentation/creation/unreal-development/features-and-tutorials/web-browser/game-less-than-greater-than-browser-communication.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
