If you’re a live streamer on Twitch, then you know that running into an issue with your account is never fun. In some cases, you may even need to reset your stream key. In this article, we’ll cover how to do that and how to make sure your broadcasting software like Streamlabs Desktop stays connected to your account.

Step 1: Click your profile icon

Step 2: Click on the Creator Dashboard

Step 3: On the navigation on the left, click on “Settings” and then click on “Stream.”

Step 4: Click “Reset” next to your stream key.
