Troubleshooting

AUDIO: If there is no audio for the Live stream

OBS should have an 'Audio Input Capture' recognizing the small mixer.

If not, delete and try adding Audio Input Capture again.

Check the source, laptop, mic, etc. Ensure they're on with batteries fully charged.

Check the mixer for loose connections, volume levels, and mute buttons.

VIDEO: If there is no video for the Live Stream 

OBS should have a 'Video Input Capture' recognizing the Camera (CANON)

If not, delete and try adding Video Input Capture again.

Ensure that the Camera is plugged into power and for loose connection to the Mac Mini

If you do not see the existing broadcast, you can create a new broadcast to test the live stream, which would automatically be labeled 'My Broadcast'.
