Question / Help Stream key location in OBS?

[illl4ever]

Hi, I am following guides to stream on Twitch, all the guides say I need to copy the stream key from Twitch to OBS but I cannot find where to put the stream key in OBS 23.2.1. Greatly appreciate any advice as I am totally new to this. Thank you very much in advance.

If it was there I wouldn't have to ask haha, I know it should be there, but right now I only see Service and Server, that's all

You connected OBS with Twitch, so OBS gets the streaming key internally. This is a new OBS feature that is probably not yet mirrored in most of the guides out there. You don't need to do anything else - just start streaming.

Tried this - these is no option for stream key under Twitch in OBS 25.0.8
There is for other platforms, eg Twitter but we are established on Twitch..... Ideas, please?

To be able to enter a stream key in OBS, you need to disconnect Twitch from OBS first. To stream to someone else's Twitch account by their stream key while being connected to the own Twitch account isn't supported by OBS.

This means your other users have to disconnect Twitch, and after that they are able to enter your stream key.

To save the connected account, they can duplicate their profile (Profile->duplicate) and disconnect Twitch in the new profile only, then enter the stream key. To switch back to their own connected Twitch account, they can simply switch back to the previous profile, where it is still connected. Rename the profiles accordingly: one for example as "My connected Twitch", and the other "Guest Twitch with key".
