Question / Help Facebook Live preview frozen screen....cannot 'go live'

Hi,

I have only recently downloaded OBS and after getting to grips with it, I would like to stream a FB live video next week.
However when I test it, the FB live preview screen is always frozen. It may move a little but there is a huge lag of around 4 minutes and is completely unwatchable. Would this be the case once I hit 'go live' too?

I've tried adjusting my setting in OBS (attached are some screenshots of my 'output' and 'video' settings) but it doesn't help.

Could it just be my internet connection is too slow? or can I do anything else to improve this?
I have done FB live streams in the past without a problem, it only seems like this now I'm going through OBS.

Any help appreciated!
Thanks
Jayne

I also get the alert "video frame rate too low' on FB and my OBS studio says that around 40% frames have dropped during stream?
