I really need help with setting up Periscope Producer on my MacBook Pro.

I can't get the Preview Broadcast Button on my iphone to work. I keep getting an error message on my Mac "Can't Connect To Server."

I found a video on youtube which tells you how to find your Bitrate. It recommends using the Stream Settings Estimator.

OBS Advanced - 3a - Find your perfect Bitrate for Streaming

I am having trouble answering the questions on the Stream Settings Estimator.

I wish to broadcast on periscope and record periscope videos on my Macbook Pro.

macOS Sierra verison 10.12.1
Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB

I really don't know how to read my Activity Monitor to determine CPU? Number change constantly
System 1.3 % - 6.46%
User 2.72% - 5.9%
Idle 95.59%

My upload speed is 5 mbps to 8.3 mbps depending on time of day.

Periscope recommends
800 kb/s Bitrate
Audio 64 kb/s
Framerate 30 fps
Resolution 720 p
Keyframe interval 2

I tried deleting OBS and reinstalling it to reset the settings. It didn't work.
I have made so many changes that I don't know how to correct it.

This is my Current Log File

Thank in advance for any assistance possible.
