    @acitrusfruitt @TwitchSupport You're very welcome, I just hope this solves the problem. Sadly I can only go off of past experiences and speculation, but I know other platforms are hesitant to push ads where certain tags or warnings are applied. Wishing you only the best.

    @KaelKinzo @Twitch @TwitchSupport Hello [Username Here] Thank you for your inquiry! Let’s take a look and see what’s happening… (Boop boop beep. Boop boop beep…) It looks like you’re having trouble with your alerts while streaming. Is that correct? (Pauses) I’m sorry, I didn’t quite understand. Please say “Yes” or type 1. (Pauses again) I’m sorry, I’m still not understanding. Out feet shall be safely locked away at this time. Please call again at a later time. Goodbye! 👋

    🚨 TWITCH IS DOWN Twitch is experiencing major issues, with outages reported between 19:30–20:09 UTC. The website, chat, and watching streams are heavily affected, while going live still works for many. 🎮 Likely cause: massive traffic from GTA 6. Rockstar dropped an extended gameplay look on Netflix, sending tons of people to Twitch to stream and watch reactions. Twitch is investigating. Follow @TwitchSupport for updates.

    Ever since Twitch Affiliate, game lags + random ping spikes every time I stream. Worked fine before. Tried: OBS as admin, GPU encode (not x264), lower bitrate, closest server. Still broken. Anyone else? @TwitchSupport @OBSProject #Twitch #OBS #StreamingHelp

  • Harz_exe
    Harz (@Harz_exe) reported

    @TwitchSupport Why are there no mic settings on your mobile app? Voice echo and clipping make IRL streaming impossible. Plugin in headphones helps a bit, but that shouldn’t be the fix. Streamlabs Mobile doesn't have this issue. Please fix it! 🙏

    @Twitch @TwitchSupport Bonus subs are not working in my channel. I've been streaming in dual format since it dropped and my community has been gifting 5+ subs with no bonuses showing up. Anyone else having this issue?

    DearlyRuralTTV 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ (@DearlyRuralTTV) reported

    @TwitchSupport So, given the people who've lost their accounts and payouts and haven't received help from you after numerous interactions, can I assume this is a "we've warned you and put responsibility in your hands, so don't come crying to us" style warning?

  • GEEOttv

    @TwitchSupport How do you guys still have this issues after all the times it happened while receiving huge influx of views on Twitch? You guys must running on power saving and only deal with it when it happens. Should always be prepared imo, it's not like Jeff is poor..

    Brenden Smith (@Moosetastrophe) reported

    @TwitchSupport how were you so unprepared for this? Cool. Nobody can stream or chat. This is fantastic business work!

  • GGRELOADED1
    🇨🇺GGRELOADED🇨🇺 (@GGRELOADED1) reported

    @TwitchSupport People are trying to stream but can't load the channel, send or receive chat messages. Did it crash for all the big streamers or just us peasants?

  • CrazyGhost251
    Ghost (@CrazyGhost251) reported

    @notsnow74 @TwitchSupport @OBSProject Hmm, I’m not sure then. Only other thing I could think of is maybe it’s a CPU or GPU bottleneck issue.
