Question / Help How do I correctly set up my OBS to be able to stream on Twitch?

[Some Kid Named Matt]

I just made a twitch account and decided to try to stream. I connect to the twitch servers and put in the key but whenever I check the video on twitch it just shows a blank black screen, saying I'm offline. What am I doing wrong and how do I fix it?

Did you click the button that says "start streaming"?

of course I did. It would be silly of me not to.

I'm sorry but, where do I find the "help menu"?

When OBS is running and is the application in focus, across the top of your primary monitor there will be a menubar.

The leftmost item will be an Apple icon. The next menu will be the name of the application in focus, in this case, "OBS".

The last application menu on the right will be Help.

The menus, from L to R are:
