Check your settings
Open Stream Key & OBS Setup and compare the current credentials with OBS → Settings → Stream.
- Select Custom as the service.
- Copy the server URL exactly as shown.
- Copy only the secret key into Stream Key, with no extra spaces.
- Leave Use authentication unchecked.
- If you rotated your key, replace the old saved value in OBS.
Multitrack Video prompt
Nexus ingest accepts a single-track RTMP feed. If OBS asks whether to continue without Multitrack Video, continue with the single-track stream. You can turn off Multitrack Video or Enhanced Broadcasting in OBS to avoid that optional prompt; labels vary by OBS version.
Try again
Apply your settings, then start streaming in OBS. Check the creator dashboard’s connection information. Never post your full stream key when describing a connection problem.
