![I think the Web Presenter 4K is broken. Lets test it [Live]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/UFgqLG1-CDA/mqdefault.jpg "I think the Web Presenter 4K is broken. Lets test it [Live]
Last week during Stream Day I tried to use the Web Presenter 4K from Blackmagic for my live stream. It failed miserably, despite me spending multiple days testing prior.
Lets spend some time testing it to see if we can nail down what is going on.
Our troubleshooting discussion is found on Discord: https://discord.gg/WdwuC2XfCt
To view the stream from the WP4K, go here: https://youtu.be/IFkAPfGCIiE
