Pe-pasting YouTube streaming Key

I have the NEWEST version of OBS and use YouTube. If I go into OBS, after stopping the broadcasting, and make even small changes, then hit rebroadcast, the OBS shows that it's broadcasting (green light and shows kbps etc. However, I usually am forced to re-paste the YouTube streaming key. In many cases, even though it's already copied, I am forced to re-copy it from my YouTube site, before OBS will start to re-broadcast.
I read that this problem was fixed, but clearly it is still a problem for me.

Any advice????

Addendum: I did check and the streaming key from YouTube does NOT change. It's also strange that I sometimes have to re-copy the youtube key (not always), even though it was ALREADY copied ! The longer I'm in OBS the more likely I am forced to do this. And I checked, the key is the same sequence.

If the key is the same sequence, OBS will work just the same. YouTube DOES change keys per-broadcast last I'd checked, though the changes may be subtle.

I think YouTube treats each new broadcast in the same manner, ie you have to log into YouTube and go through the process that you use to start the broadcast the first time. This is the case if the stream is stopped (for 2mins or 2 days) or disconnected for any reason. The stream key does not change.

OK, thanks for the posts. The problem is we already know the YouTube streaming key is not changing, I confirmed that as posted. But the problem is occurring, exactly as I described. How do I get to someone in OBS tech support who can troubleshoot this. I'm happy to screen share the problem. Also, with a web search of OBS we confirmed this problem occurred in the past and was addressed. Is there someone from OBS tech support who oversees this forum?
Thanks!!

Can someone address my question/F/U Comments above. It's been a few days. Should I contact OBS directly?

OBS Studio is open source software. There is no OBS company to contact. This forum has been providing support to many people, all on voluntary basis. But you always run the risk that someone who knows the answer just doesn't see your question at the right time.
