Good evening, and thanks in advance for any help that can be offered; I am not sure if this is a Twitch or an OBS issue; I DL'ed the software, ran the wizard, connected my Twicth account. I then created my scene and game capture. All seemed to be working well, but when I hit "Start streaming", the above error message came up and asked me to input my stream url...except there is no place to put a url in the stream tab; it shows Service (Twitch), Server (auto), then disconnect account, enable bandwidth test mode, and twitch chat addons.

I'm hoping someone can let me know what I am missing or doing wrong. Many thanks again.

Try this:
- make sure you use 2 factor authentication with Twitch. If you don't have it, activate and try again. Twitch requires 2fa before you can stream.

If you have 2fa active and it's still not working:
- disconnect your Twitch account in OBS
- configure Twitch the standard way by giving a stream key
- make it so that you are able to stream this way
- if you were able to successfully stream some test by using the stream key method, connect the Twitch account again

I am having a very similar problem here. I have set up OBS and connected my Twitch account like normal, OBS shows all of my Stream Info and chat window but when I click start streaming, I get the same message about missing stream info. I enabled 2 factor auth, tried entering the key manually, and am still getting the error. Cannot figure out for the life of me why.

Ok, so I encountered this issue as well and have tried disconnecting my account and copying the URL again to correct the issue. I did this a number of times but it didn't fix the issue. The solution was to change the "Server" to a country closer to me (I choose Australia as it was closest to New Zealand) by removing it off "Auto" and once I made this change it then started streaming no problem. Hope this helps

I've had this issue consistently on 25.0.4, never once on 24.0.6 (prior version tested). Weirdly only happens on Windows, not macOS.

Please let me know how you solve, hawkes7 that did not work for me. I get different errors when selecting any of the non-auto Twitch servers. I've been able to stream to YouTube live, Periscope/Twitter, so I'm convinced there's something wrong in the OBS Twitch settings.

Something is blocking OBS from accessing Twitch.

hmm...blockedd when plugged into Ethernet, unblocked on wifi. and I checked my routers config to remove that variable by temporarily opening all ports for all IPs. Is there somewhere in Windows settings that would be blocking a specific URL like this? on a specific connection type? bizzare how this is happening only on Ethernet.

Thanks for your help.
