This is normal, this is the encoding delay. There's a delay when your computer encodes it, a delay sending it to twitch or wherever, then when you view it in your dashboard it buffers it, which adds more delay.

That's just how it works, welcome to internet streaming.

Delay time generally isn't more than a few seconds, but if you live particularly far away from the ingest server, or the video delivery server, you can see a lot more. Also, if you had to add a lot of extra buffering to be able to get audio in sync or something, that will add additional delay. Increasing the rc-lookahead parameter in custom x264 settings will contribute to delay as well.

If it's only 5-10 seconds, that's normal. If it's 15+, something could be up. If so, post a log file and maybe we can try some things to reduce your delay.
