    Xbox Series S Twitch linking problem — QR code keeps appearing


    Hey everyone, I'm having trouble streaming on Twitch from my Xbox Series S. When I select livestream on my Xbox, it shows a QR code. I scan it with my phone, Twitch opens, and I go through the authorization process. Twitch shows that my Xbox is connected, but my console keeps displaying the same QR code, and I can't access the livestream option. I've tried restarting my Xbox, disconnecting and reconnecting Twitch, and repeating the linking process several times, but nothing works. When I try using the Xbox browser, the page sometimes doesn't refresh or tells me to try again later. I've also noticed that I can't link other services like Reddit, Discord, or Steam to my Xbox. Has anyone experienced this? Is it an Xbox account issue, a permissions problem, or something else? How can I fix it? Thanks!

    Twitch and Xbox Series X linking issue

    Still not working, I signed out of twitch both on the app and on microsoft edge on my xbox, but it still persists. When I check twitch and my xbox settings, they both say my account is linked. However, when I go to my xbox dashboard>capture and share>live streaming, it still prompts me with the qr code. When i scan the qr code and authorize again, it just shows me a new one.

    keeps giving QR even after linking twitch

    Same here. Microsoft said it is a Twitch issue and Twitch said Microsoft. Not feeling very hopeful. Anyone get it to work?

    Same with me, I have updated my Xbox, reset it, also tried unlinking and relinking.

    I can't link my twitch account to my Xbox account on PC

    I am having the exact same issue but on the Xbox series S. Twitch says I've successfully linked the account but Xbox button just spins.
