Waiting doesn't mean OBS is disconnected from the WebSocket

The WebSocket lets Corneta set up and control OBS. The video signal arrives over local RTMP. The OBS button can show Set up while Corneta keeps waiting, because OBS hasn't started streaming yet.

When to ask for help

Write down the exact status, the affected platform and the message shown. If there's an error ID or operation ID, copy it as text.

Never share your stream key, WebSocket password, token, local path or a screenshot with a credential. Use export safe diagnostics.
