Checking www.twitch.tv right now
A fresh check, started when you opened this page - each probe runs its own independent DNS, TCP, TLS and HTTP request. Anonymous runs sample the network; a signed-in account checks from more locations.
How Twitch has behaved

About Twitch outages
Written by the HostTracker monitoring team · updated from live probe data.
Twitch's own status page separates six pieces - login, the website, chat, video for watching, video for broadcasting, and purchases - and they fail independently often enough that each is worth checking on its own. Chat running on a separate real-time messaging system from video delivery is the split people notice most: a stream can play back smoothly while chat lags, disconnects or stops sending messages entirely, or the reverse, chat can work fine while video buffers or won't load. Broadcasting (a streamer going live) and watching (a viewer loading a stream) are also tracked separately, so a viewer-side outage does not necessarily mean streamers can't go live, and purchases - bits, subscriptions - can have their own incident while browsing and watching are unaffected.
Common causes of Twitch downtime
Not sure whether it's Twitch or your own connection? Read the full breakdown in our website down checker guide for a general walkthrough of diagnosing any outage, from DNS failures to expired certificates.
Chat-specific incidents that leave video playback working normally while messages lag, fail to send or disconnect entirely
Video delivery problems for viewers (watching) that are separate from issues affecting streamers trying to broadcast
Login failures that block signing in while already-loaded streams and chat for signed-out viewing keep working
Purchase and payment incidents (bits, subscriptions) that leave browsing and watching completely unaffected
CDN or regional delivery issues that degrade video quality or buffering for viewers in specific areas while others watch smoothly

Questions people ask during an outage
The live probe run on this page tests www.twitch.tv from a broad sample of HostTracker's 300+-location monitoring network - many independent networks at the same moment, rather than just your own connection. If every location fails to reach it, the outage is real and affects everyone; if only a few locations fail while most load normally, the problem is local to those regions or networks rather than Twitch being fully down. A single refresh from your own browser can never make that distinction, because it only ever tests from one vantage point on one network.
Yes. HostTracker lets you add any URL - including third-party services you depend on, not just your own website - as a monitored target, and notifies you automatically the moment it becomes unreachable. Before sending an alert, HostTracker re-verifies a failure from multiple locations in its 300+-location network, so you're notified about real, confirmed outages rather than a single location's momentary blip. The free plan checks two monitors every 30 minutes indefinitely at no cost; paid plans check as often as once a minute, with alerts available through SMS, email, voice call, and several messenger apps.
No - as of the most recent check, www.twitch.tv is responding normally to HostTracker's monitoring network, and has been up for 15h 33m. Over the last 24 hours it recorded 100.00% uptime across 0 incidents. If it is failing for you specifically, the cause is local - your network, DNS cache, or a regional route - and the live probe results above will show which locations, if any, are affected.

That points at a chat-specific incident rather than a full outage. Twitch's own status page tracks chat as a separate component from video, so it's a known pattern for streams to play back normally while chat messages lag, fail to send, or disconnect on their own. If video keeps working, the core streaming service is up.
Watching and broadcasting are tracked as separate components, so a problem specific to broadcasting can block streamers from going live while viewers can still watch existing streams normally, and the reverse can also happen. If your own stream won't start but other channels are live and playable, that's more likely a broadcasting-specific issue than a Twitch-wide outage.
It can be, but a narrower one than a full Twitch outage. Purchases are tracked separately from browsing, watching and chat, so it's possible for buying bits or subscriptions to fail while everything else on the site works normally.
Not necessarily. Third-party chat bots, extensions and overlays connect to Twitch's chat system but run as separate software maintained outside Twitch, so a bot or extension breaking while chat works normally in the regular website or app points at that specific tool rather than a Twitch-wide incident.
