Hi,
I have a live 24/7 stream from my Birdhouse cam to YouTube. Running OBS on a win 11 PC. Everything works just fine (www.birdhouse.nu).
Is there a way to automatically restart OBS/stream to YouTube after e.g. a power failure, SW/OS update, PC restart?

Yes there is but there's one issue to consider which I'll get to at the end.

1 -Right click on the desktop shortcut and select properties. In the Target field .exe add a space then --startstreaming

2 - For startup.
Option 1 (easiest) - right click on the start menu and select run, type shell:startup, drag shortcut into that folder.
Option 2 (best for power outages) - use task scheduler.

After power outages your PC and OBS will boot up faster than your network equipment. The auto-reconnect doesn't work if the initial connection fails. You'll have to mess with task scheduler or create a script that either starts or restarts OBS once it there's an internet connection.
