A delay for your viewers? or between when you play and OBS itself?

Twitch itself already has a built-in 10-20 second delay, fyi.

For my viewers. Twitch seems laggy or something and I don't know if it's something with obs or not?

Yes. There is an inherent delay between yourself and chat. It is nothing to worry about.

Typically it doesn't take up to 20 seconds, but that also factors in your connection and quite a few other variables.

I suggest looking up some tutorials on optimal settings within OBS.

Looked fine to me when I popped in for a second. I right-clicked the video to see the video playback stats, and the broadcaster latency was just over 10 sec, which is pretty good. Other folks I've watched today, it was 11 or 12 seconds.

The delay between the broadcaster and the chat is common for all Twitch broadcasters - that isn't anything you can change in your settings. Other streaming sites with have different delay times.
