Live Stream to YouTube

I have setup OBS on my Windows PC with an external web cam and microphone. Music I add to the mix from Media Player. Using that setup I can record everything to a PC's disk and could upload that. However the priest wants to livestream.
Problem is a somewhat basic one but I can't see the answer anywhere in the help files. In fact I am wondering now if it is possible!
How do I live stream to YouTube? Somewhere I have to tell OBS my account details - where? Apologies if I am being thick and missing something obvious!
Ultimately I want to setup the same system in the local church as the vicar wants to live stream services during this Covid lock down period. We have tried using the YouTube LiveStream but while speech is acceptable, organ music is dreadful (which is a shame as we have one of the best church organs in the UK).
The church setup will be similar - laptop, external webcam - but sound (speech and music) will be fed from church's PA mixer directly to laptop.

What am I missing? Thanks.

You have to setup and YouTube channel to stream your video to (you can google how to)Once your channel is up your stream key from YouTube has to be put into your obs streaming settings.

Thanks. Shortly before I saw your reply I twigged that YouTube effectively treats OSB as an external webcam/mic. I found that by accident when I temporarily gave up trying to find the answer on OSB and loaded YouTube and it came up with a different interface from the one when using YouTube to stream.
Thanks anyway.
