Question / Help Works for Twitch, not for Youtube

Hooray, the new Gaming.Youtube thing looks amazing!

I've been twitching for a long time and trusted OBS to always give me a good stream. But now that Youtube streaming is becoming more of a thing, I want to jump on that. But for the life of me, I can't go live!

I made the few minor changes I thought were necessary to switch over to Youtube Livestreaming:
* Changed streaming service to custom
* Copied and pasted youtube streaming url
* Copied and pasted youtube stream key
* Checked Custom x264 Encoder Settings
* Put in keyint=60
* Set max bitrate for 2500

Anything else I might be missing? Everyone makes it look so easy!

Thank you for your time!
 
Alright, I did all that. It's not that I have a laggy stream or anything, I keep getting a 10060 error and I can't connect to the server. Anything else?
 
Which of the two youtube servers have you tried?
What internet security software do you have installed?
 
I used rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2. Is there another one?

As for internet security software, just the very basic. Windows Defender. I'm very careful with my sites.
 
There are, and they're both defined in the youtube streaming service profile.

If you don't have the youtube streaming service profile available, it's time to update your OBS.
 
I've got version 0.655b, which I believe is the latest version. I can already see the Youtube streaming service profile. Is there any other information I can provide?
