Please note: Each time you go live in Glisser the GSTREAM KEY will be updated for security reasons and replaced with a new key. If you plan on testing prior to the event please ensure that the new GSTREAM KEY is added to OBS Studio prior to going live.
Additionally, if you stop the stream mid event, then you may need to replace the GSTREAM KEY and add the new KEY into OBS Studio to ensure your recordings are not affected.
