double check all of your streaming settings. in this case the RTMP server would be the FB live server. if it sent an invalid certificate then it is likely a FB issue or there is a problem with your streaming settings (ie: address, stream key, etc.)

Me three. I was supposed to livestream a memorial service and had to abandon OBS and use my phone to stream the service because of this.

I had this and cracked it.
It was a relatively fresh install of windows 10 on a laptop which was set up with multiple user accounts. So I did everything else that was obvious first:
1) Check date and time
2) Do all windows updates.

The issue turned out to be a lack of relevant Certificates of Authenticity, so I forced the computer to download and install the right ones from Windows Update by doing the following: (taken from https://support.microfocus.com/kb/kmdoc.php?id=KM03573386)
  1. Open a cmd prompt as admin
  2. Navigate to a folder somewhere, i.e C:\Temp
  3. Type: CertUtil –generateSSTFromWU Rootstore.sst
  4. Current root certificates updates will download and write to the file "Rootstore.sst"
  5. Click Start>Run. Alternatively click windows keyboard button + R
  6. Type: certmgr.msc - this opens the certificate manager
  7. Right click on the item "Trusted Root Certification Authorities
  8. Select All Tasks>Import
  9. Click Next
  10. Click "Browse", change the file type in the lower right selection drop-down to "All Files"
  11. Navigate to the location .sst file obtained from the previous set of steps and select the file
  12. Click Next
  13. Specify the radio item "Place all certificates in the following store. "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" should be specified
  14. Click Next, Click Finish - Note: It is necessary to click "Yes" very many times (or just keep your finger pressed on "y"), each for every certificate which resides in the .sst file.
  15. Repeat steps 1-10 except specify the "Trusted Publishers" container for Steps 3 and 9
And bingo... OBS now worked. I did have to do this for each account set up on the laptop though because it only downloads the CA files locally.
