NETWORK

A wired connection is better than a wireless connection

YOUR XBOX LIVE REPUTATION

Your Xbox Live account must be in good standing (i.e. not have reputation that is too low).

PERMISSION ERROR

If you receive an error informating you that your account does not have broadcast permission, this could be because:

1. 1. You have not enabled the ability to broadcast in your privacy settings.
2. 2. You are a minor and your parent / guardian has disabled broadcasting.
3. 3. You are banned from broadcasting.

PRIVACY SETTINGS

You must be signed in with Adult privacy settings (i.e. all settings enabled). Make sure there are no Child profiles signed in when trying to broadcast.

TWITCH STREAM KEY

Try resetting your stream key once by going to your Dashboard and clicking the Channel tab under Preferences, then click Reset at the top of the page - just once!

Tip: Do not reset your stream key multiple times to avoid a 15 minute lockout.

HDR GAMES

Currently the app does not support broadcasting HDR games. Your broadcast may be ended prematurely if you try switching to broadcast an HDR game. We are investigating ways to support this in the future.

TWITCH CONNECTIONS

Make sure the Xbox connection exists on your Connections tab here. Alternatively, navigate to your Account Settings and click Connections.

                   

 You may also want to come back here, disconnect the connection, uninstall the app, then reinstall the app and retry the activation process (taking the code to twitch.tv/activate).

HARD RESET

If your Xbox locks up, try a hard reset: Press the power button on the front of the console for 10 seconds, then remove the power for 30 seconds and restart the console.

UNINSTALL AND REINSTALL THE TWITCH APP

If the directions above do not resolve issues within the app, try a fresh reinstall.

First, disconnect the app from Twitch, delete the app data on the Xbox and finally uninstall and reinstall the app. Do exactly as follows:

1. Disconnect the Xbox connection from your Twitch account on your Connections page.
2. On your Xbox, select the Twitch app in My Games & Apps.
3. Press the menu button.
4. Select Manage app.
5. On the right under SAVED DATA, select the appropiate gamertag.
6. Press the menu button.
7. Select Delete saved data.
8. To uninstall the app, find the app, press the menu button to open the app menu, and select Uninstall.
9. Reinstall the app.
