Question / Help Failed to create aac streaming encoder (simple output)

[ryangriffs01]

Hi,

I've been trying to get my OBS Studio to link up with Google Hangouts. I've downloaded (what seems to be a trusted) virtual cam but Google Hangouts didn't recognise OBS.

During this time I had OBS open with no problems.

I thoughts I'd restart my laptop, but after restarting I'm now getting the error "Failed to create aac streaming encoder (simple output)" every time I try to open OBS. I'm not overly technical, but I've tried opening it via cmd and that didn't work.

I'm unable to get a log file as I can't open OBS.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. (This is all in Windows 10)

If you are on Windows, check out this video I had found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZABzcAtwKf0

I'm on a Mac so I am still looking for code to link OBS with Google Hangouts on a Mac.

That error makes it sound like OBS is trying to start streaming when it opens. Are you using command line arguments to do that?
