I have OBS version 25 (as 27 continuously hangs on windows 10) and it immediately disconnects when i start facebook live. This just started from yesterday. I dont understand what is the problem. I paste the stream key everytime. It starts but then immediately disconnects. Anyone can help please ? I use the Focusrite 4i4 as my audio card.
 
Were you able to stream to Facebook using OBS before upgrading to v27? I started on OBS Studio v25 a year plus ago, and am sticking with v26 for now, and stream weekly to Facebook

Per pinned post in this forum - READ the post about having a recording or streaming session. If streaming isn't working, then record for 30 seconds or more. This info is needed.

If streaming (via OBS) wasn't working before, then there can be LOTS of possible problems. Being free, open source software (FOSS), have you done your part of RTFM? If you are just starting out, I personally recommend looking for a non-gamer oriented tutorial to get started. Once you get streaming working, then, if you are doing so for gaming, look into gaming oriented adjustments/optimizations as a 2nd or later step

Here's the quick-start guide: Some have recommended the Nerd or Die tutorial video series: https://obsproject.com/wiki/

And when it comes to Facebook, unfortunately for those who aren't tech savvy, and want a pictorial step-by-step, Facebook has been changing /Live/Producer a fair amount since end of last year. So the basics are largely the same (using Camera vs Stream key, Live vs Scheduled Video, etc), but some specific details have varied (especially in created a Scheduled Live Video and the required setup info changed slightly (very minor) just a week or two ago)
