   - For the x264 encoder, under Advanced Output Mode, add bframes=0 in the "x264 Options."

2. Check Bit Rate for optimal results – aim for a range between 6000 and 8000Kbps (dependent on your connection strength);
3. Select the correct game from Scenes in OBS when adjusting the Noice Validator;
4. Make sure to choose 'Noice - RTMP' as the service in OBS. You can find this option in Settings under Stream (valid for exclusive streams and when not using a re-stream tool like OBS multistream plug-in or Restream.io;
5. Double-check that the stream key entered in OBS Studio is correct. You can always generate a new Key if you feel it's needed;

11. Set audio channels to stereo to be complete.

Noice Studio Check:

3. Upon starting your stream in OBS, check its status in Noice Studio by clicking the down arrow next to "Stream Status" at the top right corner of the screen. This provides detailed information to help you determine if any current settings need adjustment (highlighted in yellow) for both the stream and the Prediction game to function properly, as shown in the screenshot below. If there is something wrong with the stream in terms of settings like Max B-Frames for example it can also be highlighted at the top of your screen in Noice Studio.
