1 time per month, i always somehow start streaming and i dont about this stream (i think i press spacebar 2 times and stream start).
Maybe its possible protect from random stream with captcha or pw or smth else, maybe plugins?

There is setting

Settings>General>Show confirmation dialog when starting streams

it is intended to prevent the accidental streaming. At least, try to make it checked, and application will ask you again every time you attempt to start the stream.

  • Make OBS profile without stream set. You can make Windows shortcut that will launch OBS with this specified profile (the --profile [profile_name] command line key).
  • You can disable control buttons by customizing the UI theme (something similar to https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/recording-button.83929/#post-572914).
  • You can hide whole docking pane of the Controls from the main menu.
  • You can configure where OBS hotkeys will work (globally or only when application is in focus) in the Settings>Advanced
  • You can remove streaming hotkeys, if there is any.

It all depends how you are using your copy of OBS.
