MS Remote desktop used for OBS steaming but No stream received at Youtube.

We have been using Teamviewer to remotely connect to the Streaming PC to stream to Youtube using OBS and it works good.
But when we tried VPN to the local network and use MS remote desktop all seems working except no video / audio appears in Youtube studio even though studio says "Excellent connection" no go LIVE will be available so we cannot start streaming.

Seems like what ever OBS sends out is not received at the Youtube server. Ports blocked ? No error message is generated at OBS PC

Any one had figured this out yet ? is it possible ?

Log attached Notice the audio changed to "Remote audio"

Don't use rdp. Continue using Teamviewer or similar remote control apps like vnc. Rdp replaces the physical GPU and audio hardware with software emulated ones that work better through rdp, but this makes the machine unusuable for OBS. Teamviewer and vnc don't do this, so these can be used fine.

Thanks Koala . That seems to be a good explanation why the audio switched to Remote audio in log.

To my surprise when I tried it again next day everything started working normal as if I am using Teamviewer. So dont know what happened initially. As Koala mention it may be true if we try to connect using RDP with out using VPN. In my case I was using VPN to be in network that could have changed the device usage for encoding.
