Check Your Connection

Ensure your internet isn't having issues. If your internet isn't working properly, Twitch won't work as it should and may give you an error (or just won't load at all). First make sure you're still connected to the internet. If your internet connection isn't stable, try another connection if you're able. Otherwise, try connecting an ethernet cable if you're using Wi-Fi.
