About Twitch outages
Twitch is a live platform, which makes downtime unusually costly: A stream interrupted is revenue and audience lost permanently, not deferred. Its three main subsystems break independently and produce very different reports.
Ingest is the path from a streamer's encoder to Twitch and fails regionally - A streamer can be dropped while viewers watch everyone else normally. Playback is the viewer side, producing error 2000, 4000 and infinite buffering. Chat runs on a separate messaging system and is frequently the first thing to degrade, appearing as messages that never post or a chat panel stuck loading under a working video. Because Twitch is owned by Amazon and runs on AWS, wide AWS incidents affect it. Twitch's status page covers ingest, playback, chat, the website and the API separately.
What to do if Twitch is not working for you
Is it them or you?
Our last check reached twitch.tv normally, from a different network, resolver and route than yours. If it is broken for you, the fault is most likely local or too narrow for a single probe to see. Run the check again now to confirm.
The first thing worth trying
Write the error code down before retrying. Streaming apps show genuinely diagnostic codes, and they are the fastest route to knowing whether the fault is your account, your network or the service.
How streaming services typically fail
Browsing works, playback does not. An error code appears rather than a blank screen, and it is often the most useful thing on the page. Downloads already on the device keep playing, which is a strong signal the fault is in delivery. The rest of the steps, and why this category breaks the way it does, are on our streaming status page, with more background in what error codes mean.
The link below unfurls into a live card showing the verdict, so whoever you send it to sees the evidence rather than your word for it.

Twitch measured against its peers
How it compares with other streaming services
Over the last 30 days Twitch ranks 4 of 6 streaming services we monitor, measured on recorded uptime. The category averages 100.0%, and Twitch sits at 100.0%. The steadiest in this group is YouTube.
On speed, Twitch answers our checks in about 428 ms against a category average of 414 ms - Slower than its peers. Response time is not availability, but a service drifting well above its own normal is often the first sign of trouble.
What the last 24 checks looked like
Across the most recent 24 checks, the quickest response was 187 ms and the slowest 608 ms, against a 30-day average of 428 ms. The chart above plots each one, so a widening spread is visible before it becomes an outage.
All figures are our own measurements, taken every 20 minutes from one network. What that can and cannot see is set out in the methodology, and every streaming service is listed on the category page.

An expired certificate stops browsers loading a site entirely while the server itself stays perfectly healthy, which is why we track it beside the uptime figure. Check it yourself.
Twitch status: Common questions
Is Twitch down right now?
Twitch is up and responding normally. This page is refreshed by an automated check that runs every 20 minutes from an independent network, and by reports from visitors.
Why can I not reach Twitch when you say it is up?
Because an outage can be partial. Our check runs from one network and asks for one page. Your problem may be regional, may affect only the mobile app, or may be local to your connection, DNS resolver or browser cache.
How reliable is Twitch?
Twitch has been reachable for 100.0% of the last 5 days we have measured, with 0 seconds of recorded downtime.
Does Twitch have an official status page?
Yes - Twitch publishes one at https://status.twitch.com/. It is the authoritative source for confirmed incidents, though official pages usually update after user reports have already peaked.
Twitch discussion
Useful comments say what broke, roughly where you are and roughly when it started - That is what turns a pile of complaints into something other people can act on. Links are shown as plain text and carry no SEO value, so there is nothing here worth spamming.
