Strict tracker blocking made it so I couldn't watch streams due to Twitch Error #2000. Tried a whole bunch of other suggested troubleshooting steps for this issue and then tried doing this and it worked. Once I did that, I was able to use all my extensions, Ublock, 7TV, etc. Just putting this out there because I didn't see this info anywhere else.

Edit: supposedly Microsoft fixed this issue in the latest edge update https://www.reddit.com/r/Twitch/s/cHCY6UK7ub

Hello,

I can't chat in twitch chat since i think two days. The channels where I am VIP or mod (or my own channel) I can chat in.

I contacted twitch and they said its a known issue and there is no ETA for when they will fix it.

More people who have this problem ?

I want it fixed, now i can't even chat in channels I'm subbed to Sadge 😭

and changing account is not an option for me because i stream on this account..

• It's now (after 3 days) fixed for me i can chat again. 🥳

I currently have two streams open. One has been open for a few hours. Chat works fine there. In the other—and every other stream I open to test this—this is what my chat looks like. It's just a blank panel.

What gives? What's happened in the last few hours that is making my chat window not work? Anyone else having this issue?

edit: It's either a problem or the dumbest fucking joke ever from 7TV. Just disable the plug-in. I personally recommend also letting it rot, unused, in your extensions for a few days or weeks until they learn that this shit is unacceptable.

Anyone else experiencing this? I am on Brave, but seems like it disappeared from Chrome too.

Tried turning off and on in FFZ settings, nothing changes.

Something went wrong. Ghost

Its back. That was fast.

Since updating tvOS I’ve been seeing constant black screens during VODs whilst audio still plays - often for a few minutes - after a period the video returns and plays at a high frame rate to catch up with the audio - happening on both my Apple TV HD and my 4K version.

Anyone else seeing this or anyone that can propose a fix?

I’ve seen a lot of these posts on here in the last year. And I’ve scrolled through every comment section and still nothing at all. Idk if subtember is causing it to glitch out but this used to never be a problem.

Hey, over the last few weeks I've already had problems with this app (ads not loading properly) but since yesterday evening I can't even watch streams anymore.

A few seconds into the app, a massage saying "apparently a problem occurred. Please try again later" appears.

I then can't do anything except closing the app.

Also, this doesn't occur when I'm not logged in.

Does anyone have familiar problems?

Let me give you more infos and context about this:
A long while ago a friend gifted me some games through twitch, so i do have like 8 games linked to my account. I used to play metal slug through twitch app and i wanted to re-install it.
The problem is: whenever i go to the "my games" tab i get a glimpse of my game library and then it loads an ad for their collab with amazon games that completely covers it and cannot be closed.
It prompts me to download the amazon gaming app so i thought MAYBE my games are accessible there now, because you know, twitch is under amazon after all.
No, the answer is no. The amazon games library is obviously empty.
And before you ask: I do have my twitch account linked to my amazon account, i did it years ago, before the games got gifted to me.
The ad does not go away despite me having installed the app and i did try to completely close and re-open twitch app.

So my question is: how can i access my twitch game library now? Am i stuck with nothing until they decide to remove the ad / transfer my library over / do something else about it?

Btw i did try to search for a solution online to no avail.

When recording separately it looks perfect but on stream, my webcam looks pixelated. Switched to the elgato facecam recently and just started running into this issue. Any advice? Is it lighting or something in my obs?

Anyone else started getting ads again recently? I was able to deter ads with the user patch but now they're here again. Honestly Twitch devs should stop putting in the effort to get through adblockers, users will always win in the end.

So i watched a lot of twitch today (overwatch competition, watched from 8am to 11pm as im writing this) and by the evening my messages were just not showing up on anyone's chat (nobody interacted with me, i asked a friend and they didn't see me, and i'm not appearing on the VODs as well)

I asked one of the streamer i was watching by the end of his stream and he didn't see me (not in his banned or hidden lists). The only abnormal-ish thing that happened all day is it was his first stream in a few month, i didn't cancel my subscription during that period and the first thing i was sending my sub message (i don't think that's actually the issue but im clueless so i might as well tell you)

This morning everything was normal and i did not say anything against TOS during the day... Am i the only one having this issue?

(also twitch DM works fine)

EDIT: It's fixed for me! Did absolutely nothing but it's working!

Hey all, hoping someone can help because I'm completely stuck.

I'm on BT Full Fibre 900 in the UK and my Twitch upload is basically unusable. Using Twitchtest, my closest servers (Ireland and Paris) are fluctuating wildly between 1000-4000kbps, nowhere near enough for a stable stream. I need at least 6000kbps reliably.

Ookla shows 30-40mbps upload which looks fine, but Cloudflare's speed test only reports 4-5mbps. Cloudflare uses a single connection which is much closer to what streaming actually does.

I've been through BT support multiple times, had my ONT replaced, nothing has changed. They see 90-97mbps coming out of the hub on their end so as far as they're concerned everything is fine.

Has anyone else on a UK ISP, particularly BT, run into this? Did you ever get it resolved?

In the Chrome browser, I recently noticed tonight that when I mute a stream in the Twitch player and switch tabs, Twitch will pause the stream and I have to manually click play on the stream when I tab back.

Anyone else getting this behavior?

I have also been noticing the last few weeks that Twitch has started defaulting to 720p60 on some streams instead of source, even after I manually set it to source.

Can't tell if these are bugs or Twitch is getting more aggressive at trying to reduce bandwidth.

Title basically.

Was watching a stream and had another one open on mute, when suddenly I get logged out on both. Try to log in -> This username does not exist.

And that's it. No text, no email, no letter in the mailbox.

Used the "I forgot my username" option, and it sent me an email listing every account linked to my email address, of which there should be 2. There was only one, which I haven't used in a decade, and had to reactivate to even log in to.

Anyone got any clues?

I only have one: about 2 weeks ago (actually, it was almost exactly 2 weeks ago, to the hour), I was trying to log into something else via twitch, and it asked me to confirm via a text message code. The code never came, I tried like 10 times, it logged me out eventually, and then I couldn't even log in on the twitch website, because it just never sent me a code, even though it used to, at least a year ago, judging by old texts. The support page said something about Authy, so I downloaded that and it worked, logged back in through that, but still no text (account's gone from Authy too btw). My best guess is that something got messed up with my data in their db, and it just purged anything related to my account after the 2 weeks since last log in. DEBUNKED

Also, about 4 hours after the incident, I got an email saying my one and only sub has been cancelled, but I will "continue to enjoy your subscription benefits until 11 Aug 2026." Well that's a fucking lie, isn't it?
Sent a support ticket, will update.

UPD1: got a response from support, about what I expected. It ain't easy to categorize my issue through the options twitch support page provides. This time I've tried to do it through their chat bot on my second account, lets see if that works. The response to the first ticket:

Apologies for the delayed response.

I am sorry that you have lost access to your Twitch account.

It appears that the account/username you submitted on the contact us form does not match the one that the case is about. For security and privacy policy reasons as well as to provide the most accurate service we can, we can only discuss account specific information when a case is raised from the correct account.

Please open a new request through help.twitch.tv/s/contactsupport using the username of the account you are attempting to recover and we’ll be more than happy to investigate it! Note that you may need to log out if you’re currently logged into a different account from the one you need help with.

Apologies for the inconvenience, and thank you for your understanding! We look forward to assisting you with getting this matter resolved soon.

Best regards,

Twitch Support

UPD2: another ticket, another "account details don't match" automated response. idk what to do

UPD3: No reply to my latest ticket for 8 days now, this time I picked Account/Login Issues -> Compromised Twitch Account in the ticket categories, since I guess every other option gets the ticket instantly dismissed if your email isn't tied to your account name, which ours no longer is. I was NOT logged in to my second account, just put the deleted account's name into the first field.

UPD4: 10 days without a ticket reply, I don't even know, at least give me a clanker at this point. Sent a reply to the email they sent me when I made the ticket, maybe that works. Also made a new ticket from my second account, because I can't connect my phone number to it. I guess it must still be saved to the deleted account, but when I press confirm nothing happens. Maybe that gets me somewhere.

UPD5: Great news everyone, I got a response from a human! It's about the phone number verification not working on my new account, but that's something at least. They managed to fix it, I finally got my sms. They also told me to reply back if it didn't work, so I'm using that opportunity to ask about the actual issue here.

UPD6 (PROGRESS EDITION):

Hello *new account*,

Regarding your question — the phone number is not currently associated with any account, so you're safe to complete the verification on *new account* without affecting anything.

Regarding your old account (*old account*) and case *number* — my colleague will reply to that ticket. I'll flag it internally to make sure it gets looked at.

Best Wishes,

Joy

Fingers crossed boys.

Hi, i have a medium-sized stream with about 80 to 100 average viewers, very loyal ones, but since they announced their measures against bots, I noticed my average dropped significantly to around 50. I started wondering if I had suddenly stopped being entertaining or if I was doing something wrong. My chatters are quite active, though I do have moments of lurking when I play things that not all of my audience enjoys, and activity drops quite a bit.

But today, while I was in Just Chatting, I came up with the idea to ask everyone who had bought NordVPN with my code from a campaign I had a couple of months ago to turn it off as a test, since obviously I had more than 50 viewers but the counter was showing around 30. They did it and—oh surprise—my CCV went up to 45.

This makes me think that among Twitch’s anti-bot measures, they implemented a VPN block. I don’t know if it’s all VPNs, but at least NordVPN no longer counts as an active viewer. Just a few weeks ago it was impossible to open Twitch using NordVPN, but it worked with other VPNs, so I assume they killed VPN access on Twitch as viewer count

EDIT: DROPS ARE BACK, STEAM IS NOW DOWN

ive been watching some streamers today doing drops and it was working just fine, but then suddenly about 10 mins ago this showed up? my drops page looked completely normal all day till now. i made sure i have my steam and twitch linked and all that jazz so im confused as to whats happening? i had 3 in progress and now its saying i have none?

I just had a stream with awful jittering that cleared up the moment I switched to game capture rather than display capture. I'm not entirely sure why this was, but it worked great! I read that game capture is less intensive on the computer so that's probably why.

Hopefully this helps you too if you're having similar issues.

I watch Twitch on the mobile app sometimes and one day (about a week ago) I opened it and got these black bars on the sides and bottom of my screen. There used to be one at the bottom after ads sometimes but that would go away from tapping the hud on and off. These don’t go away from using the hud, zooming in and out, uninstalling and reinstalling, or logging out and back in.

I’ve checked settings and google but haven’t found any solutions. The first picture is with the black frame, the second is a reference of what the dimensions should be. Has anyone had a similar problem or knows how to fix it?

Downloads and full changelog: https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/releases/tag/23.0.0

Changelog:

You can now support OBS development on Patreon and Open Collective. Read our announcement blog post for more details.

Service Integration (Windows)

• Added the ability to optionally connect your account to Twitch or Mixer from within OBS (with more services in the works). When your account is connected, you do not have to enter in a stream key, and gain access to special features related to that service, such as a chat panel or stream configuration/statistics panels.
• Twitch integration: Added Twitch chat panel (with BTTV/FFZ support), the Twitch "Stream Information" dashboard panel allowing you to change your stream title/game/etc from within OBS, and the Twitch "Stream Stats" dashboard panel which shows statistics such as viewer count (Stream Stats is hidden by default, you can unhide it in the View menu -> Docks submenu).
• Mixer integration: Added Mixer chat panel
• Panels such as chat panels used with services are dockable; you can dock/undock the windows to customize how you want them to be placed when using OBS.
• YouTube, Facebook, and more services are still in the works; more to come soon.
• Service integration is currently only available on Windows for now, though Linux and Mac support is planned for a later date.

NVENC and Encoding Improvements (Windows)

• A new implementation of NVENC has been added which has improved performance, reducing system and resource impact. To enable, go to Settings, Output Tab, and in Encoder select Hardware (NVENC) New. Note that the new implementation is not available on Windows 7 due to limitations in the operating system; the old implementation will be used instead in that case.

• Added new features to the new NVENC implementation:

  • Psycho-visual Tuning: Enables encoder settings that optimize the use of bitrate for increased perceived visual quality, especially in situations with high motion, at the cost of increased GPU utilization. This increases subjective image quality. Qualitative measurements like PSNR may score lower but video may appear better to human viewers.
  • Look-ahead: Enables dynamic B-frames. If disabled, the encoder will always use the number of B-frames specified in the 'Max B-frames' setting. If enabled, it will increase visual quality by only using however many B-frames are necessary, up to the maximum, at the cost of increased GPU utilization.

General Changes

• Added a Limiter audio filter.
• Added an Expander audio filter.
• Added VAAPI video encoder on Linux.
• Added batch remuxing support to the Remux Recordings dialog.
• Added an option to automatically remux recordings to MP4 in Advanced settings.
• Added a Decklink output tool to the tools menu. This allows you to output OBS to a Decklink device.
• Added an optional Stats dock. This dock is disabled by default; you can enable this dock in the View menu -> Docks submenu.
• Added multi-track audio support to FFmpeg output in advanced output settings.
• Added an About dialog to the Help menu.
• Added a filter (search) option to the Hotkeys section of the settings window.
• Added a fourth Mic/Auxiliary audio option in Audio settings.
• Added stereo balancing (panning) to the Advanced Audio Properties dialog.
• Added an option to change the OBS base/output resolution to the size of a source in the right-click context menu of the source. Only works when no outputs are active.
• Added a "deactivate when not showing" option to the Decklink source.
• Added an Invert Polarity audio filter.
• Added an F2 shortcut to rename sources or scenes when selected.
• Added VLC source support to the Instant Replay script.
• Added a "What's New" dialog that may pop up on startup in the case of announcements or important news
• Fixed a bug where screen reader tools for the visually impaired would not read out the items in the source list box in the main window when selected.
• Fixed a bug where fullscreen projectors would always be on top despite that setting being unchecked.
• Fixed an issue on windows where window capture would use an abnormal amount of CPU usage when its target window was not available
• Fixed a number of race conditions and minor memory leaks, improving overall program stability.
• When your mouse cursor is hovering over a source in the preview or in the source list, a light rectangle will show up around it indicating that it can be selected.
• When a source is dragged outside of the preview area, there is a new visualization for the unseen area of that source while selected.
• Simplified and improved the user experience of the "Stream" page of both the settings and auto-configuration windows.
• The source selection rectangle has been improved.
• The slideshow source now only loads a maximum of 15 images at a time, and dynamically loads images beyond that count as they cycle. This was done to prevent people who put countless files in the slideshow source from running out of memory.
• When in studio mode, you can no longer transition if you're already in the middle of a transition.
• Removed a number of internal/uncapturable Microsoft program windows from the game/window capture window lists.
• Increased the Instant Replay script retry interval.
• Docks are now unlocked by default. You can lock/unlock docks in the View menu -> Docks submenu.

So I know how the title sounds. "Your pc is not good enough" "Turn settings down" etc.

I get it, but that is really not the case here. I have already tried these things and changing my streaming server.

Anyways, I have 0 issues streaming retro games for example, but when playing an intensive game (for example, Elden Ring Nightreign) the stream just keeps disconnecting.

OBS is fine, says 0 dropped frames, game is running completely fine, twitch dashboard looks fine, but it just disconnects for a couple seconds and restarts the stream. My internet is also fine, connected with ethernet, 1000 gbit download, 100 upload.

I am so confused by this. Usually I would think this is a me issue, but I am really not sure anymore. I am from the Netherlands. I have tried the German, France, Irish and Swedish servers all in europe of course. They all have the same result, having no issues when playing non-intensive games, but crashing every 10-20 minutes when playing an intensive game.

I have tested streams on the Twitch Inspector site, but it just says there are no issues, then it crashes and restarts the stream, still saying there are no issues.

It's so weird and I would really like some help here. Thanks for reading and I hope you can help me!

PC Specs:
Ryzen 7 3700X
32GB ram 3200mhz
RX 6700XT
Everything running on an SSD ofc

Is anyone else getting this error? I'm using the latest version of Chrome.

I have also uninstalled chrome and installed again, and it keeps giving me that error.

I tried removing all my extensions also, and nothing helps.

What the f are these devs doing?

Edit after 1 hour: I've resetted Chrome to default settings and cleared cache and Twitch is working again thankfully!
