connection issues

I found OBS while searching for training or guidance in setting up a video studio. I have set up my equipment and consider myself fairly knowledgeable in computers, but the terms are daunting—worse for me than Pig Latin. What to plug where, how to set lighting levels. Maybe I should spend hours...

so i havent streamed in awhile and i wanted to get back into it. i have a 2020 macbook pro that i was using for streaming and a pc that i use for gaming. the macbook was working fine and recently when i start the stream it doesnt start it just says connecting and nothing will happen. i dont get...

So I moved houses and started streaming again with 0 issues on about 8500 bitrate then all of a sudden my bitrate kept going down to 0 and the bars on the bottom kept going into the red. I did the network optimization and bitrate optimization and it still shows the issue happening but the stream...

Greetings-- Using latest OBS version on Win 10, log file attached at end. I live stream on FB daily using OBS. Usually I create a live event to begin later. 1hr to a week. It seems if the event is scheduled more than 24 hours ahead, I can setup the event and connect OBS prior to going live...

without streaming no ping spikes, when streaming weird ping spikes (looks like game and stream compete against each other with the bitrate) any fix? pls help :( (ignore the frametime its just bc of tabbing out when taking screenshots :D)

So I mainly stream minecraft java and there is never a connection error, even when there is, it gets fixed almost immediately or it is directly caused by my internet, but when i try to stream other games that don't require connection like Fnaf Pizzeria simulator or Terraria, my connection...

i was recently trying to start up OBS to do a test stream and its stuck on the Greyed out Connecting... option, i disconnected and reconnected my twitch and even optimized the server which i broadcast through, i'll attach my most recent log files if this helps, i greatly appreciate anyone who...

So this is an issue I started running into on my old laptop. My stream randomly stops on twitch and my OBS still says I'm streaming. I originally thought it was the laptops issue, so I payed it no attention. I recently upgraded to a new desktop, and the issue still persists. Today I was test...

I'm having an issue where I was streaming on YouTube and now that I want to stream on Twitch it doesn't want to start streaming there. Instead, it only gives me the option to make a new stream on YouTube. I have tried connecting my account directly and also using the stream key, but it still...

I have been streaming since early January of this year, and the first couple months I had no issues. The last two weeks I have experienced quite a few sudden drops in connection, or extreme instability for a few minutes here or there. I have been messing around with my OBS settings for awhile...

I am aware that my computer's connection can be shaky sometimes. I'm not able to use ethernet so I use this extender to connect to the router, and it normally works fine, just with the occasional lag spike that leave me to wait a few seconds before the connection gets better. Unfortunately OBS...

Hello, I have been streaming on OBS for a very long time with the same settings I try streaming this pass Friday and it keeps giving me a red bar. Like the frames are dropping so bad. Which makes no sense I been streaming with these settings for years. I check my internet connections, I check my...

Hello, I was streaming in facebook around 2 months. 6 days ago I've had problems, the bitrate that I use is 8000kbps. The stream is going well but after few minutes, the bitrate goes down to 4000kbps or less. Then the bitrate goes up to 12000kbps or 30000kbps (I don't know why xD). I tried...

Hello everybody! Good to see you :) I have a problem, maybe someone may know what to do: when I use a usb camera either for record or streaming the usb connection sometimes may be unstable and every time I need to reactivete my video device in the "Video Capture Device" settings. So maybe is...

Hi. Do you guys have any idea what's wrong? I tried to launch a stream, but bitrate stays low or spikes for 1 sec and goes down. As you can see in the screenshot, sweden server has the best bandwidth, but quality is 0. What can i do? (also i want to mention that youtube on bitrate 6000 works...

Hello! Yesterday I was doing a live stream and before the event I decided to try out the new Youtube integration. I let it stream for a few minutes and concluded that it worked fine. Then I created a new scheduled stream and started streaming the event. I use Speedify connection bonding to...

Hello, I am trying to Livestream onto Youtube. I am in China so I have a powerful VPN/SSR which on a test gives me 39500kbps. I have no problems streaming on youtube through the webcam option. It works great actually. But If I use OBS, I get a failed connection with the server. The exact...

I've had this issue where my bit rate is constantly changing along with the colored square next to it FOR MONTHS, I've contacted my isp and worked with them for almost 5 months trying to solve this issue at this point i don't believe they are the problem. My Tests from the twitch bandwidth test...

For about the past two weeks, OBS will drop into the red during streams. From what I've seen it happens randomly as it can happen every 30 second to every 5 minutes. I've had a 3070 for a few months and have had no problem using it to stream and game using its encoder instead of the CPU encoder...

So a few days I go to stream and my connection is bouncing around below the 1k mark going as low as the 17-500 range for a while. I haven't changed anything recently besides putting in a new CPU cooler which I'm assuming isn't causing the issues. I have the LA server selected in OBS because I...
