Question / Help Trouble Getting OBS to Connect and Stream to YouTube Server

Hello everybody. I've been pulling my hair out with this for a while. Things I have already done to stream my video to a pre-scheduled YouTube live event. Using newest version 20.0.1

Error I'm Getting when I hit the "Stream" button in OBS: "Failed To Connect" Could not Access Specified Channel or Stream Key.

I was able to stream successfully from the same YT channel on June 25th, but not now.

Things I've done:

1) Refreshed YT channel stream key.
2) Logged into correct YouTube channel (only channel that I'm logged into in Chrome browser)
2) Triple checked the Live Event stream key to make sure it is the correct one I want to stream my video to.
3) Made sure YouTube is selected in OBS Stream as You Tube/You Tube Gaming
4) Server selected in OBS is YouTube Primary ingest server (tried using YT backup ingest server but made no difference)
4) Live Control Room is Open and correct live event is loaded and ready to go in YT Live Control Room.
5) Under "Advanced" I tried bind to IP Default setting and my own IP setting, but neither worked.

See log file below.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks :-)
Ed

Settings -> Advanced, change the bind adapter back to default.

Usually best to not mess with settings in advanced unless you know exactly why you need to.
