Step 4 : Press the arrow next to the Verify Kinect Depth and Color Streams to see the live feed from the sensor. The FPS value should be above 25. If the value is less than 25, or the sensor goes black and FPS says 0, you may need to update your sensor drivers.

Step 5 : If the FPS value is consistently above 25 and the feeds are showing video, then your sensor is working properly.
