We may have to postpone the #PUBGFamilyDinner tonight because the Twitch livestreaming service is down for a lot of people. This outage is preventing broadcasters from publishing new streams, and it is also keeping viewers from tuning into their favorite channels.
The issue is not affecting everyone, but many (including me) cannot get the Twitch front page or any individual channel to load. I also attempted to start a stream, and it seemed like it was working — but the dashboard I use to manager our livestreams would not load. Even the Twitch app is behaving oddly.
Twitch has acknowledged the issues in a post on social media. The company first noted that viewer lists were not loading earlier in the day. More recently, however, the company said it is looking into broader errors.
? We're looking into issues with the site not loading for users. Apologies again for the issues. ^RSS
