YouTube Stream Key issue.

Hello. I am running OBS on two different computers, both running Windows 10 64 bit, streaming to two different YouTube channels. For months, everything was great with not one problem. Then a week or so ago, YouTube indicates my stream hasn't started, but OBS indicates that it is streaming.

I can fix the issue on both computers by doing this: Open settings. Go to stream settings. Click Show stream key. The stream key is correct. Click OK. After doing that, both streams work fine. Could this be a Windows permission issue? It's possible both computers were updated to the newest release version, 2004, around this time but I'm not sure.

Any idea what is going on? Thank you for a great product.

This same issue started yesterday January 5, 2021 for our organization. We use OBS Studio to stream to scheduled YouTube events. To get around the problem we do multiple computer restarts and flip between ethernet and Wi-Fi. So far, we have not found an explanation or cause and worse, we don't know where to go next.

Most of my issues were caused by the new YouTube studio. I just started over from scratch. In the past, I could start a stream just by clicking the Start Streaming button in OBS. I didn't have to do anything in YouTube. Now, I have to log into YouTube, click the Create button, then click the Go Live button.
