I already linked you how to get your YouTube stream key. Facebook Live's stream key is in the same window as when you're setting up the stream, and Facebook stream keys expire pretty often, so you have to get a new one pretty much every time you stream there.
What do you mean, "It's just on OBS"? Do you mean where to enter in the Stream Key into OBS Studio? If so, you may want to review some OBS Studio guides:

- https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/full-video-guide-for-obs-studio-and-twitch.377/
when I say "it's just on OBS" that's all I have. it's mandatory to get twitch as well? if so maybe that's why I can't find it. In any case please let me know. this is very confusing to me. see on the first link above, all it says it "get the key" nothing about how to find it or how to put it in. the 2nd link talks about how to do it though but it uses Twitch, so that's why I think it's mandatory to use Twitch. Anyway please help clear this up for me.
ok I found on facebook where the key is. now I have 2 more questions:
1) I do;t know how to get OBS to get the video feed from my webcam as "Enable Preview" does not have a way to select or deselect as it is shaded light gray. I assume this is because I did not program it to read my webcam. Please help.
2) how do I change it from 2 screens back to one again and vice versa? I accidentally brought up ascreen that has 2 screens with "Transition" in the center. Again please help.

well the only thing I don't understand left is even though it shows it as straming, it only shpws like 10-12 seconds of video then it quits. plus again it just shows a still image. I'm not sure of it's the settings or what. is there away to change the time or is theresupposed to be no time limit? I don't understand.
Nyar,although I did everything but select custom (I selected Facebook from the pull down menu) everything shows up as said but I barely move in the video and even though I said several things,nothing showed up except maybe some background noises. The best way according to the page is just make a custom server then add both server url and server key? All I did was just the key. I'll try that next time.

The PC is too weak for streaming. It weak for recording too. I think, 320x240 is the max resolution for this PC to encode facecam only videos.
I tested same config few times. It can run few games but streaming or recording it - no way. You need faster PC and dedicated video card, not APU. It shares memory and has low bandwidth, low frequency, it lacks hw encoding modules. This is net based machine. You can browse inet or play simple games, watch videos (up to FullHD, if player uses dxva accelerations). Youtube videos can run up to 480p without stutter in chrome (acceleration enabled). This is limit for this machine.
