    So removing Snap has killed Twitch... Xbox just got shelved.


    So the latest update has come in, killing off Snap and in turn has caused havok with Twitch's app. As the Twitch app no longer snaps and stays open, you are required to either keep backing out to view chat or need a second device (mobile/pc) to talk to viewers.
    Furthermore, with the app now not snapping it has caused issues with Kinect also... the camera disables itself as it doesn't seem to recognise that Twitch is trying to use it. Kinect only returns to use when Twitch is closed.

    If this is an attempt to force people to use Beam, all it will do is harm Xbox as established Twitch streamers with a fanbase like myself have had to drop everything on Xbox entirely until we have capture cards. Smaller Twitch streamers who can't justify
    the purchase of one are just not going to use their Xbox for streaming at all.

    Absolutely awful idea, spot on Xbox.

    New streaming platform for Xbox?

    as has been said twitch was on the platform first and has always supported streaming from the app, it used to work with the snap function until microsoft ditched the snap function, so open twitch app and select stream.

    Twitch streaming issue

    Yup, I started having the same issue as well. I can't get it to stream anymore at all.

    As soon as twitch snaps in after saying, "Xbox broadcast" it just immediately displays, "Broadcast fail...We're sorry something went wrong with the broadcast". Selecting "try again" does nothing and just brings you back to the same screen.

    I've tried all the usual suggestions multiple times with no success...deleted the app and save data, removed and re-added xbox from the twitch site, reset my stream key, etc. None of that helped.

    Twitch has been highly frustrating and inconsistent on Xbox one so far....for weeks Twitch wasn't working for Canadians and then it looked like they got it resolved but now this is occurring and I am again unable to stream anything. :|

    The Twitch app hasn't gone anywhere.

    Beam is just now the default service.
    ^What J3RS3Y said; Twitch won't have all the bells and whistles that Beam has, but you can start up Twitch and it will properly identify the game you're playing without having to worry about snapping.
