Live Stream your video production to YouTube in 4K

Earlier this week, YouTube announced that it would start allowing 4K streaming to its platform. Previously you could stream to Youtube in 4K but would only display in 2560 x 1440 and then allow you access the recorded stream in 4K. In order to stream in 4K you’ll need to use the Events section and select 4K as your streaming quality.
