How do I restart a Youtube stream?
I noticed AFTER my stream that the Youtube part of my stream (since I am multi streaming and recording) just went to the buffering, does infinite frame drops, goes down to 320 bitrate and then stops itself.
I know that when I was using the Vertical plugin for Youtube I was able to hit the record to stop the stream and then restart it and it would be fine as long as I do it in a specific amount of time, but now that I am using Stream Elements OBS I don't see a way to do that and I can't find it anywhere on how to do it.
I stream and record 4k to youtube and stream 1080p to Twitch. My computer doesn't seem to have any issues, here's my previous log, but I don't know if it's in there:

I only have 1 preview window open but I think I am just going to have the youtube stream open on the other screen instead to potentially save resources?
This happened A LOT in the Vertical plugin so I moved Youtube stream over to the main thing because I thought it was the plugin, but that doesn't seem to be the issue. The problem is that I can't just restart it, or at least I don't know how to (Without just making a brand new stream obviously)
Any assistance would be great ❤️ thanks
