Common Issues
Double-check the server URL. Make sure there are no extra spaces. If auth is enabled, the password goes in the Server field as a URL parameter, not in the Stream Key.
Wait a few seconds after starting. If it still doesn't appear, check that your stream key doesn't have special characters. Try a simple name like your username.
Lower your bitrate if your upload speed can't keep up. You can test your upload speed at fast.com. Your bitrate should be well under your upload speed.
