OBS's internal browser is outdated and I can't login HELP

[TeaRacer]

I kinda need to login so i can get back to my job, is there a solution for this yet or is OBS not interested in updating their in-app browser?

The in-app browser is a very much pared down version of Chromium. It doesn't support most of what the full desktop version does. It's only intended to render pictures and sound from a URL, not much more. (and that URL is very often on the local network, not internet)

It sounds to me like you're trying to use OBS as a regular web browser for work??? Why not use a for-real desktop browser for that?

In order to use OBS for twitch, you need to login through the OBS application. I cannot login through the OBS application because the internal web browser is outdated. Have you used the OBS application for Twitch before?

Pretty sure there's an option to use a stream key for Twitch.

Yes and then AFTER you use the stream key, you need to click the button that says activate your account, and then this window pops up. However, OBS's internal browser is outdated, and I can't login.

I was able to stream to Twitch by going to Settings > Stream > Service: Twitch, Server: Auto, Stream Key: ••••••... , [Apply], [OK], [Start Streaming]. I did not have to Connect Account.
