I can't start Twitch app

The app on the Xbox One is OK for streaming. You can voice chat with viewers by starting a private party and selecting it in the app so the players you are playing with can't hear your stream.

The text chat interface is pretty much useless. I use a twitch app on a tablet if I decide to text chat with viewers.

Noooo. Let me explain it better.

I stream with my Elgato, obviously that means no Xbone twitch app streaming... HOWEVER, this also means I can't view the Twitch chat straight from my game screen...which sucks.-

I was just curious if there were any plans to make your own twitch chat viewable via the app without streaming from the app?

I think you can't stream to YouTube because Xbox want to support Mixer 🤔

Then why is there a Twitch app? If Microsoft were so hell bent to only support Mixer, there wouldn't be a Twitch App. And yet, you can still stream to Twitch.

It's really up to YouTube to get a working streaming app on the Xbox One.

So please suggest to YouTube to create a Xbox One streaming app.

You can't chat on the Xbox or Playstation with twitch chat. They changed this a while back. You have to use a phone and the official twitch app to chat. You can read chat but you can't type without a phone or tablet.

Also when they made these changes, they completely broke the twitch app for Xbox. You can't change resolutions and most of the time you cannot open or close the chat window, the buttons for these functions don't work at all. Again, these changes were implemented by twitch and they're the ones who make the application. I'm not sure why they removed the ability to chat directly from the consoles and TV apps but that's how it is now.

Hey there BradyMVP,

What game are you trying to stream when you see this error? Does it happen with all games? Let's have you try to Power Cycle the console and see if that helps first.
