Let me state the following because I know somebody's going to come in here and say OBS doesn't have an automatic streaming feature. I hate to hurt your feelings but it does. Every time I go in here to edit anything whatsoever in OBS or add something new it starts streaming by itself. It has done at a total of 14 times with me. I have to keep going back into my Twitch account and deleting videos that are 3 seconds long because I noticed it was streaming on its own. There's nothing in settings for this I've even set it up to where it has to notify me and ask me if I want to stream. But that doesn't stop it from streaming on its own. I've gone as far as completely unplugged my elgato to keep it from capturing my game system so I can edit stuff without people thinking I'm streaming. So how do I stop this It's clearly an issue people have been having but there is a plethora of others that say this function doesn't exist when we know it does. So is it a bug with your software is there a glitch you need to address what is going on?

There are command-line options that do a lot of things when OBS starts. That's one of them.
Here's mine on Linux (don't have Windows handy, but it's the same there):
Check your shortcut(s) to see if you have any of those.
obs --help in a terminal (Command Prompt in Windows), to see all of them.Here's mine on Linux (don't have Windows handy, but it's the same there):

aaron@aaron-ubuntustudio-m6800:~$It's also possible that you have a plugin that does that. If you have this in the Advanced Scene Switcher, for example:
The "Plugin running" condition is always true, and then the "only on change" checkbox makes it run once on startup and never again.

Other plugins may or may not do something similar. Maybe an automatic scheduler of some kind?

This plugin will allow you to automate various tasks using "Macros". Macros consist of a list of conditions under which a list of actions will be performed. Examples and guides can be found in the wiki. Feel free to contribute! If you run...
