When Twitch fails

Twitch streams live video with chat. Video playback, chat and the site can fail separately, and Twitch reports incidents on its status page.

If Twitch is not working for you

  1. Find what fails for you among the services we monitor above. If that service is green, the problem is likely on your side: try the next steps.
  2. Open twitch.tv on another network, such as mobile data. If it works there, the problem is your connection, your DNS or your VPN.
  3. Update or restart the app, then sign out and back in.
  4. Look for an incident on one feature on status.twitch.com.

Questions about Twitch outages.

Is Twitch down right now?

The status at the top of this page comes from Hyperping checks of Twitch, run every minute and refreshed on the page every 60 seconds. Green means the latest checks succeeded; red means they are failing, confirmed from several regions.

How do you check Twitch?

We monitor 4 Twitch services every minute, in turn from Virginia, Frankfurt and Singapore: Site and app backend (gql.twitch.tv, up on a 400 response), Login (id.twitch.tv, up on a 401 response), Twitch API (api.twitch.tv, up on a 401 response) and Website (www.twitch.tv, up on a successful response). When a check fails, other regions check again before that service counts as down. Twitch counts as down when all of them are, and as partly down when only some are.

Twitch is up here but not working for me. Why?

An outage can be partial: one feature, one app, one country or one internet provider, and our checks see Twitch from data centers. Try another network such as mobile data, update or restart the app, and check the official status page for an incident on one feature.

Does Twitch have an official status page?

Yes, status.twitch.com. Twitch's team updates it by hand, so it can lag behind the start of an outage; our checks run every minute whatever it says.

Can I get alerted when Twitch goes down?

Yes. Create a free Hyperping account and add gql.twitch.tv as a monitor: you are alerted by email, Slack or your other channels within a minute of a failure. The free plan includes 20 monitors, enough for your own site and the services it depends on.
