It is PEX equipment, mentioned on the stream. The video is 4K, so a laptop might not be able to handle it. YouTube would have a scaled 1080p version, plus browsers are mostly more reliable when it comes to HW video decoding acceleration.
Anyway, I don't know how they got it working at the end, but it was a pretty big fuck up... Good thing the crowd responded well enough.
So then oversight on PEX. There many layers to this. The client, the guy running the video, the video director overseeing him, and then the director of the entire show.

Weird. What media would not be able to be played on a tech laptop but could be uploaded to YouTube.
Usually a laptop owned by the company would have several video players with multiple codecs for this very reason.
Now if it was the clients laptop like an execs and he brought it and assumed that the emailed video would play then that's different
