Why can't I stream Twitch from OBS? My internet connection is fine, but it always says this:

I made sure that my stream key is the latest one.
I checked my firewall and it was OFF, so no firewall is blocking the connection.
However, OBS is not letting me stream. What does it mean by "a valid streaming service" ??? Can someone please help ?

Have you check your router's firewall?

just to provide more information :

I am able to stream Twitch from my phone, using the same router, just not from my Macbook.
My OBS version is 28.1.2
My Macbook version is MacOS Big Sur version 11.6.7

Well if you use your phone as a hotspot for your Macbook and try to stream that would be another way to trouble the firewall issue.
