### In Wirecast

First, ensure your camera is on, plugged into your capture card, the capture card is connected to the laptop with the cable, and there is a light on your capture card. Got it? Let's proceed.

Open your school's Wirecast template.

Click the plus button on your Master Layer.

Note: If you have a Magewell capture device, it will display as "HDMI Video Capture"

### Next Steps If You Have A Blackmagic Mini Recorder

Double-check that your Mini Recorder is set for HDMI by opening BlackMagic Desktop Video Utility. If set to HDMI, proceed to open Wirecast.
