Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • ViaSapientis Shaina Carmel Indovino (@ViaSapientis) reported

    Okay, so the *one* thing I apparently do well with my Twitch stream is audio balancing. And I'm really proud of that because I have some hearing loss, and as such, audio quality is REALLY important to me.

  • dreageekgirl DreaGG (@dreageekgirl) reported

    @TrashcanSamTTV I saw it happen not that long ago. Twitch is in a way broken and they have a long way to go.

  • JindaWuff 🐺 Jinda - Gayer (on purpose) (@JindaWuff) reported

    I've legitimately typed ":juicepHypers:" as a message in my work Slack in response to something, then I'm like "Oh, right..." It's not my fault, they added a bunch of Twitch emotes and I forget sometimes xP

  • RageHound DumpsterCryptid 🗽 (@RageHound) reported

    For anyone who thinks I "don't do anything" or sleep all day...**** off. Just actually **** all the way off. Wasn't aware that managing a twitch team, seeking employment, doing freelance work, streaming, scripting and recording videos, and recording vocals was "nothing".

  • WolvesofPirates WolvesofPirates (@WolvesofPirates) reported

    Next week. I need to finish my thumbnail first. Why? Well the more I see how twitch works behind the scenes and with how stuck in the past they are I just don't really want to put so much focus into that platform. Youtube has its issues but they are legit trying to be....

  • Pilnok High King Pilnok (@Pilnok) reported

    Untag Zombae if you reply pls @twitch at the least let me long press a comment and flag it. For ***** sake. Give us some tools to help fight this.

  • OrcishWC Orcish (@OrcishWC) reported

    Just wanted to say that this has been the worst month of my life. In good news, my twitch community has stepped up and been more financially supportive than my full time job! I love you all. (Not to mention the non stop emotional support)

  • Currydawave Curry (@Currydawave) reported

    @TwitchSupport Please check my emails I have sent for the past 3 weeks. My twitch leaderboards and bits are off when they are clearly turned on in the twitch settings. The leaderboards are turned on in the twitch settings yet I cant see it and no one can send me bits. Please fix.

  • onegnarlyboi 🌙g𝐍𝔞ᖇ𝔩ʸ! ☄️ (@onegnarlyboi) reported

    @CyberpunkGame @Twitch Bruh I requested I refund last WEEK and i STILL can’t get my money back bruh😩 can I get sum help? 🙏🏽

  • tubbonotinabox — liisa | TUBBO DAY! (@tubbonotinabox) reported

    help twitch is literally lagging for me

  • Masselkopp1 Masselkopp (@Masselkopp1) reported

    @TwitchSupport I have a problem. I've made a level 3 abo for 25 € for travelfan from masselkopp_ks after a prime abo but i see only a level 1 abo in twitch and 25 € in paypal . Please check and change it. kind regards

  • ThaGeatWhite ThaGeatWhite (@ThaGeatWhite) reported

    @TwitchSupport my twitch account was just follow botted 1k plus follows and I cannot send an email to the support section ....so here I am asking for you to fix this issue as it is happening to our whole twitch team today....smh

  • Hetrovono Hetrovono🧢 (@Hetrovono) reported

    @Modernpoet2 @Oreocide I think tue problem is the mis mash of personalities if you are considering the size of twitches user base. Its why I prefer smaller platforms even though the reach is substantially smaller the people tend to be better.

  • meghanobrien Aunt Meghan (@meghanobrien) reported

    @thezacharymike @Diva0Samantha Doesn’t he have work meetings that you have referenced him being on at the time of you filming or is that just when you’re on twitch? Lol. Where do people come up with this stuff???

  • indiecenttv Indiecent (@indiecenttv) reported

    @lexstreams @Twitch Hey @Slasher looks like we can add “betch” to words not allowed on twitch. This person has streamed on twitch for a while and got affiliate with no issue, then a random permaban. No chance to even change their username. Account created in 2014.

  • DotDagger Dagger Dot (@DotDagger) reported

    Why is twitch so broken?? I can guarantee that I have 4 viewers but in only registers as 2??? How can I be 0.01 average viewers away? not a full person?

  • AdamWebsterUK Adam Webster (@AdamWebsterUK) reported

    Evening all, we're back on the old #minecraft #smp server tonight. We're gonna close it down for a while, but @Dragon_Rider13 wants to kill himself first, or something like that. Live on twitch around 8pm GMT. May be a little late as I was on late cover at work tonight.

  • TrashcanSamTTV Trashcan_Sam (@TrashcanSamTTV) reported

    @dreageekgirl I was going to say none but then it dawned on me botters who made partner is a frustrating thing so many work hard to achieve success and twitch let’s that happen

  • lexstreams lex (@lexstreams) reported

    @ComradeNexus They're so broken you're right. The state of Twitch right now as a creator is just scary and confusing. It's super unclear what is okay and what isn't and it feels like a slight slip up as a small creator means the end of your career.

  • _courtniedarr courtnie 🧚🏼‍♀️ (@_courtniedarr) reported

    sitting at work and my eye continues to twitch because I’m thinking of all the things I need to accomplish before tomorrow :-)

  • DaftPhully DaftPhully 🤯🤔🙀🤡😤Life is opera. (@DaftPhully) reported

    @RPGDad317 I have had that problem with twitch and discord.

  • kiznalgaming kiznal (@kiznalgaming) reported

    Mid-roll ads every 10 minutes is truly a terrible viewer experience. Either all staff and devs get free Turbo, or none of them actually watch @Twitch. It's truly insufferable.

  • hype_beast03 tse.whisper (@hype_beast03) reported

    Sorry for having to end the stream early . Twitch crashed on me multiple times while trying to fix audio issues . I’ll hopefully he streaming again tonight or the day after Christmas. Hope you all understand and have a good day :)

  • DavesGaming_ DΛVΞ 🇺🇸 (@DavesGaming_) reported

    I've experimented by banning the term 'bigfollows' on Twitch & I can say so far I haven't seen those annoying bots pop up in the channel. If you've yet to do this, I suggest you do if you're having this issue.

  • PaulWisniewski2 Michael Paul (itempleguardi) Coach Wiz (@PaulWisniewski2) reported

    @Twitch I need your help.

  • sniperas5a5sin sniperassassin (@sniperas5a5sin) reported

    Does anyone else who streams from Xbox to twitch have issues like I do? Sometimes the app just doesn’t cooperate and it ruins a whole stream? I feel like I’ve tried everything to get it to work and at this point it feels like it’s the app’s issues, not mine #twitchstreamer

  • ghxstbur lex ⧖ 🐝 (@ghxstbur) reported

    why is my twitch just not working all of a sudden 🧍

  • hopecietyy james (@hopecietyy) reported

    the one problem i have as a twitch streamer is people automatically assume i know a lot about computers and tech so they’ll ask me about my set up or start using acronyms i don’t know and i just sit there like :,)

  • PeashooterR Peashooter101 (Jared S) (@PeashooterR) reported

    @Sumidere Hey! *I am sorry I personally don't know you* but I see your post and hear your concerns. I hope that those kinds of people find their way out and stop being jerks about it. It makes you uncomfortable and that is just terrible. Twitch is to chill n have fun, not deal with that.

  • brunyari CrePPyyy (@brunyari) reported

    @Chrux2K @finalmouse Exactly but how is it possible to win the game if they are not giving the keys because "the problem is with the twitch"
