Why cant I stream to Twitch from my Xbox even though it is showing them as linked?

Hello ElectableLouise, my name is Jose, and I am an independent advisor. It's my pleasure to assist you on this occasion.

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble streaming from your Xbox to Twitch. Here are some additional steps you could try to resolve this issue:

Unlink and Re-link: Unlink your Twitch account from your Xbox settings and then re-link it. Make sure to follow each step carefully.

Check Privacy Settings: Ensure that your privacy settings on Xbox allow for streaming and that there are no restrictions preventing the connection to Twitch.

Restart Router: Sometimes, connectivity issues can be resolved by restarting the router. Turn off the router, wait a few seconds, and then turn it back on.

Twitch Streaming Settings: Make sure that the streaming settings in your Twitch account are configured correctly. You can review the streaming settings in the Twitch control panel.

Software Updates: Ensure that both your Xbox and the Twitch app are updated to the latest available versions.

Contact Technical Support: If issues persist, consider reaching out to Xbox or Twitch technical support. Provide specific details about the problem and the steps you've taken so far.

I've reported it now. Hopefully they can sort it out.

I have been trying to stream from my Xbox to Twitch with no success. I went to Capture & share and clicked live streaming. I followed the instructions to link Twitch and Xbox. As soon as I link them the screen on my xbox refreshes and gives me an activation code as though I havent linked them. When I look in settings it shows Twitch as linked and when I look on Twitch it shows Xbox as linked.

I have tried unlinking then linking again, resetting Xbox numerous times, removed my account, power cycled (hold power button 10 secs and unplug for 30 secs) and adding my account again. I have also checked all my settings to make sure everything is allowed so I can stream.

I have great internet and an open NAT. I'm on Series S.

Ok you have to follow the steps you have to do the activation code and you have to link it to your Xbox and I believe your twitch account

Done all of that already 😂. I think I have basically tried everything now. Just gotta wait for Xbox to fix it.
