I apologize if this issue has been raised and solved before, I have tried searching this forum multiple times but the keywords are pretty general and i haven't been able to find any results.

When I start streaming using twitch, it works. It says i'm offline for about 20 minutes before it starts counting my viewers, but it works. However, I have never been able to find myself in the "browse" search box while streaming. so if people don't already know my username (n7leadfarmer) people have no way of discovering me and my stream. This only happens with OBS, however. Using XSplit and using my elgato's software works just fine, but I want to use OBS. I am obviously new to streaming and OBS however I have troubleshot all other problems myself and have gotten everything else working but this one eludes me.

Also, I am open to the idea that it's a twitch problem, but it only happens when I stream with OBS so i'm tending to rule that out.

Any prior experience or wisdom would be appreicated :)

Thanks!
