Powerpoint 2010 - Unable to Broadcast

Hey Experts. I want to broadcast a slide show. I have a Windows Live ID and verified my password is correct by logging directly into that site --  but every time I try to broadcast a file (to the default site: pptbroadcast.officeapps.live.com) I get "connecting to service...."  and then am continually prompted for my password. As I said I verified my password.

Then finally I get a message "Error starting broadcast" "You do not have permission to broadcast using this service."

Do I need to make sure some Service is running? Do I need to establish some sort of permissions? Not sure what to check for.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hm. I don't see anything like this <but every time I try to broadcast a file (to the default site: pptbroadcast.officeapps.live.com> when I broadcast. How exactly are you starting the broadcast?

I just tried here by opening my file in PPT 2010 and going to File | Save and Send | Broadcast Slide Show. I then just clicked the "start broadcast" and it did its thing and worked.
Steps to broadcast are:

1. open presentation in PowerPoint
2. go to File | Save and Send | Broadcast Slide Show
3. If you are not logged into live, it may ask you to log in,
4. Review the window presented:  Copy link and send to viewers or send email.
5. When ready, click on Start Slideshow
    You are now in control on slide advances.
    Most often, you are in a conference or phone call with viewers.

Hi there -- thanks for the response. I did all of that --- but am continually prompted for my password and then get the final message  "Error starting broadcast" "You do not have permission to broadcast using this service."

I understand the procedures and am following them to the tee. I also confirmed that my password is correct.

Just not sure what else to check. As I said -- perhaps there is a service that should be running and isn't?

If I try to add pptbroadcast.officeapps.live.com it says "Authorization Rejected." I have no services available. There is no default. What am I doing wrong?!
We need more info from you. What version of PowerPoint are you using, and please give us the specific steps you're using to broadcast.
The EXACT same issue is happening to me...
