Pretty new to OBS, but my searches haven't yielded all of the results that I'm looking to accomplish. I've been back through the forum a bit, but so far, I haven't found everything that I need.
My basic setup is that I have 3 scenes representing 3 different locations around the facility in 3 profiles and 1 scene collection. I'd like to live stream all three to YouTube, simultaneously, to the same channel, on a schedule (say, every night from 7-9p) without user intervention. In my newbie-ness, I may have some of the finer details/terminology wrong, but hopefully, this describes what I've got going now and where I'm trying to go.
That's where I stand at the moment. Is there anything else that I can do to get this running as I'd like? I found some references (and had a little luck) with scheduled streams. However, since this is a daily occurrence, I don't want to have to be responsible for going in every day and creating a new schedule to get them all running. I'd like this to just run. Something else that I'm missing? A setting, or a way to have YouTube waiting on three streams perpetually? Depending on how that works, I'd like to have each stream have a different title at least based on location/stream key. Including the date in the title would be great, too, but knowing "A", "B" or "C" would be enough as well. That seems to be a YouTube setting at this point, so I don't know where to set it in OBS, but if there's something I could do in either OBS or YT, that would be beneficial.
I posted this in the ASS discussion forum first, but it was recommended that I try here since I got a lot of the ASS portions sorted out to this point.
Thanks!

- I am not re-using any of the same feeds in my scenes - these are distinct locations, so overlap or resource stealing shouldn't be an issue.
- I'm using Advanced Scene Switcher, and have a macro written that will start the stream on a schedule, wait a couple of hours and then stop the stream. That part appears to be working properly.
- I don't have OBS connected to my YouTube account. I did for a while, but was having trouble with the "broadcast" object and kept having to manage/create a new broadcast before each attempted stream.
- I went into YouTube, started a new live stream for use by streaming software and made three distinct stream keys. I took those keys and applied one to each of the 3 profiles directly ("advanced") inside OBS.
- Using the launch parameters, I setup 3 links in my Windows Startup folder with "multi", "profile", "scene" and "collection", which works properly and starts 3 instances with each of the profiles running by default.
