Why Does Twitch Keep Logging You Out? (What Streamers Need To Know)

Streaming full time is the dream of a lot of people. If you’ve decided to go ahead with the process, good for you. One problem you may run into, however, is that Twitch keeps logging you out. This can be incredibly frustrating, especially if you’re in the middle of a stream. So, why does Twitch keep logging you out?

In this blog post, we will go over why this may be happening and some steps you can take to fix the issue.

Answer To The Question Why Does Twitch Keep Logging You Out:

The most common reason Twitch keeps logging you out is because your internet connection is not stable. This can be caused by a number of things, including poor router placement, interference from other devices, or simply having too many devices connected to the internet at once. If your internet connection is not stable, it will cause Twitch to disconnect you from the server and then log you out.

Plugins

The second reason is because you have too many plug ins on your Twitch account. If you have a lot of plug ins, it can cause your account to become overloaded and this can lead to disconnections and being logged out.

Outdated Browsers

The third reason is because you’re using an outdated browser. Twitch requires that you use the latest version of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Edge. If you’re using an older browser, it can cause problems with connecting to the server and staying logged in.

Ad Blockers

The fourth reason is because you have an ad blocker turned on. Ad blockers can interfere with Twitch’s ability to serve ads, which means that they may also interfere with your ability to stay logged in.

Using a VPN

The fifth and final reason is because you’re using a VPN. VPNs can interfere with your connection to Twitch and cause you to be logged out.

Why Can You Not Log In to Twitch?

You may also run into the issue of not being able to log into Twitch at all. This can be caused by a number of things, including:

You simply forgot your password

Always keep your password written down in a safe place in case you forget it.

You’re using the wrong email address

Double check that the spelling of the email address is correct. Sometimes you can accidentally add an extra letter or number when you’re typing it in.

Your account has been suspended

If your account has been suspended, you will not be able to log in. You will need to contact Twitch support to have your account reinstated.

Your account has been banned

If your account has been banned, you will not be able to log in. You will need to contact Twitch support to have your account unbanned. Some bans could last all the way up to 30 days depending on the severity of the offense.

There is an issue with Twitch’s servers

If there is an issue with Twitch’s servers, you will not be able to log in. This is out of your control and you will just need to wait until the issue is resolved.

Above are the most common reasons Twitch keeps logging you out.

How to Fix the Issue:

There are a couple things you can do to try and fix the issue of being logged out or not being able to log in.

Restart Your Router

If you’re having issues with your internet connection, one of the first things you should do is restart your router. To do this, simply unplug the power cord from the router, wait a few seconds, and then plug it back in.

Check Your Connection

If you’re still having issues with your internet connection, you can try to run a speed test. This will help you determine if your connection is stable enough to stream on Twitch.

Send a Password Reset

If you’ve forgotten your password, you can click the “Forgot Password” link on the Twitch login page. This will send a password reset email to the address associated with your account.

How Do You Stay Logged in to Twitch On Your Computer or Mobile Device?

If you’re inactive for a little while on Twitch, Twitch will automatically log you out for security purposes. However, you can make things easier doing the following:

When signing in to your account, hit remember this password. Therefor when you go to log back in the next time you want to live stream you can just hit enter instead of typing out your password every single time.
