Issues with OBS not connecting to Facebook

[Darkcyber]

I have a computer with Windows 10 and OBS Studio, that I have been using for a long time to do Facebook livestreams. It has worked perfect, up until recently. Now, for some reason, when I click "Start Streaming" on OBS, OBS will start the stream, but Facebook doesn't pick it up. There is no preview on Facebook. I have to shut down OBS and Facebook, usually a bunch of times, and repeat trying to get it to connect. Finally, it will connect. I have refreshed keys and copied and pasted those, I have Facebook set to Persistent Keys.

Updated OBS to the latest version...no help...same problem.

Again, this has worked flawlessly up until about 2-3 weeks ago. Suggestions?

Same Issue here. Just started within the last couple of weeks. I stream logged in with my personal account to a business page. I have not been able to stream for at least 2 weeks. Feels like a FB issue, but there is no support from FB, so curious to see if anyone else has been able to resolve this on their own.

I've been having the same issue for three weeks starting in February. My workaround is to go from OBS to Zoom and Zoom has an option to Livestream to FB. That's been working for me whew!!!

my recommendation - instead of another me too thread, join one of the many existing recent threads on same subject, ideally one of the threads that has a moderator comment (on 3rd party TLS library that may be part of the issue?) and other technical suggestions regarding browser( and cache/cookies) that have helped some folks (and not others)

I've just come back to FaceBook and seem to have run into the same problem, I would go live on OBS and FaceBook would not show the video, I accidently refreshed the FaceBook page and when it reloaded the live video was showing in the live producer on FaceBook and my steam setup was all still there.
The Solution, Setup your FaceBook stream, Go live on OBS, Wait 10 seconds and then refresh your browser, click Go Live on Facebook to go live. Works everytime for me.
