You are still using OBS Classic. Please note that this version is no longer supported. While we cannot and will not do anything to prevent you from using it, we cannot help with any issues that may come up. It is recommended that you update to OBS Studio. Further information on why you should update (and how): https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/how-to-easily-switch-to-obs-studio.55820/

Bad encoder settings.
1. Max bitrate is way too small, 64? Try 2000 for bitrate. When bitrate is too small, it will only be a gray screen, with x264 VBV underflow in log.
2. Probably shouldn't use "CRF" as live stream need constant bitrate.

Or, you can just switch to OBS-Studio and make sure the bitrate is set correctly, usually 2000 (720p) but can go a little higher when using higher resolution or higher frame rate.
