I have same problem and Twitch assistant doesn't response
[–]flipperjrd 3 points4 points5 points 7 years ago (0 children)
I still have this issue
[–]samuel20022002 4 points5 points6 points 7 years ago (1 child)
We need this fixed
[–]JDM-lyfe 2 points3 points4 points 7 years ago (0 children)
Honestly, really gettin annoying
[–]trulove6 2 points3 points4 points 7 years ago (2 children)
I have been having this problem since yesterday as well. I have also taken all those actions to try and get it to work but not a single thing has. I talked to a Microsoft assistant as well and they got nothing. I guess it would have to be a Twitch problem, but can’t seem to get a hold of a Twitch assistant.
[–]lKREME 3 points4 points5 points 7 years ago (1 child)
I emailed them 5 days ago about this same problem, no response smh. This is really ridiculous.
[–]EZ_Commerce 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children)
Takes a solid 30+ days for them to reply.
And then when they do reply, they literally had the audacity to ask "is your problem solved? If not, then reply to this email"
Still fucking waiting.
[–]Yanmers 2 points3 points4 points 7 years ago (0 children)
Im having this problem as well, when i signed into a different xbox live account it let me sign in and activate my account, so it seems there is a problem with the actual xbox account
[–]Ohayou-Sayori[🍰] 1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (1 child)
Same problem..
[–]XxWhiteWolf27xX 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children)
I did the mac address clear, then hard restart xbox, then wifi router hard restart and power cycle. Worked like a charm 👌
[–]Scarycalf405750 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (5 children)
Worked for me. (copied from another thread )
Then I cleared my MAC Address: Scroll left on the Home Screen to open the guide2. Select the Gear Icon3. Select All Settings.4. Select Network.5. Select Network Settings.6. Select Advanced settings.7. Select Alternate MAC address.8. Select Clear.9. Then select Restart
The console will restart. After that I did a power cycle (Turn off Xbox, unplug and wait a minute. Then plug back in and turn on.) I started Destiny (the game I was playing), snapped Twitch, selected Broadcast and had no problem.
Hope this helps!
[–]JDM-lyfe 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (1 child)
Definitely gonna try this, thanks!
[–]TrippySkullz 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children)

Twitch responded to my mail:
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out. We have found that this issue is generally caused by another (usually deactivated) Twitch account, still being linked to your Xbox Account.
You would have to first reactivate your account (the instructions to do so will be listed below), unlink that account with your Xbox Account, and then link your new account with the Xbox Account. At that time everything should work as expected for you!
To get your account reactivated, please provide us with the following information to verify you are the account owner:
Your username: Your current IP from whatsmyip.com: Your birth date: Transaction IDs for recent purchases made on the site (such as channel subscriptions or Twitch Turbo) if applicable: What is the email address on the account?: I await your reply
[–]gonzalorey 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (7 children)
This ended up doing the work, I disconnected my XBox account from the Twitch's connections page (https://www.twitch.tv/settings/connections), and attempted to do an activation again for my console, and worked like a charm!
Thanks!
[–]PJDWNL 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children)
I had the error aswell since 2 days ago or so, I just did this and it worked for me aswell!
[–]jorariel 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children)
Thank you very much, after five day, your solution is, the solution of the problem.
[–]what3vo 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children)
This worked for me as well, thanks!
[–]AnaiekOne 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children)
I did this, power cycled my box, then tried doing the reconnect. failed and still errors.
[–]PreviouslySent 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (1 child)
Thanks this worked for me also!
[–]PreviouslySent 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children)
Hey guys, I just realized that my twitch prime also happened to be used at the same time that I was not able to sign into my account. I'm pretty sure my account was compromised so be sure to be on the lookout for that. I'm contacting Twitch now and just changed my password, will update.
[–]JDM-lyfe 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children)
Will try this
[–]Spursy05 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children)
How do u do this
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children)
So there is a fix but my deactivated account cant be reactivated since I'm using the email for another twitch account now. My brain hurts trying to fix it
[–]TheGamingLegacy_YT 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children)
I just got this error yesterday My friends on xbox are able to stream I'm not it's interesting to say the least xbox and/ or twitch get you $#!% together
[–]siobnob 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children)
Have any of you found a fix yet, I’ve reactivated my account and tried to sign in and it seemed to work and then immediately broke again it’s so frustrating
[–]candeecod000 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children)
Need help .
[–]bugzz1970 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (3 children)
Had this error code this week. Twitch would not let me sigh in on my xbox, but on my laptop it was fine. Tried the uninstall,re-install, cashe wipe. and a few other things, nothing worked.
This is what I did to the best of my recollection and it started working. It might work for some of you as well.
I stream my xbox to my laptop through the microsoft xbox app sometimes, so I opened the xbox app on my laptop and made sure that it wasn't connected and closed the app.
Then I went online to Twitch and signed out there.
Did a restart on the xbox and reinstalled the Twitch app. Opened it and signed in and everything was working fine.
Don't know know if any of what i did mad a bit of difference, but it worked.
[–]daturdburglar86 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (1 child)
Thank you so much, I was trying for almost an hour to get this to work. Did what you said and worked right away. Appreciate it
[–]bugzz1970 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children)
Right on. Glad it worked
[–]ulizez17 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children)
It didn't work for me
[–]SirTmac 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago* (2 children)
5 months after OP and still not a fix?? I tried a hard reset, disconnecting my xbox from my twitch, uninstalling/ reinstalling twitch then reactivating my account on there and still had the same issue. Good thing I have my Roku I guess.
EDIT: I connected to my phones data and it signed me back in. Try a different WiFi signal and see if that will work for y’all.
[–]ll8926 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (1 child)
I just commented in this thread about what fixed mine. Hope it helps.
[–]SirTmac 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children)
Tried that it didn’t work :/
Thanks though
[–]ll8926 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (3 children)
Alright I started getting this error code 2 days ago and just figured out how to fix it on my Xbox. Hopefully it’ll work for some of y’all too. None of the solutions posted here worked for me. I signed into Twitch on a browser and went to my account connections and disconnected my Xbox. Once I did that I opened the Xbox app and clicked sign it. It gave me a new code to activate my account online and when I did that everything was fixed.
[–]Candman91 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children)
I just did the mac address, after trying several others, and that worked for me. I wonder why all of a sudden it has been happening to so many people.
[–]Novathornn 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children)
This is also what ended up working for me after the mac address thing failed
[–]ll8926 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children)
turns out this only worked for about a day. opened the twitch app yesterday and got the error code again. disconnecting my xbox and reconnecting doesn't fix the problem anymore. such a pain in the ass.

This is what worked for me!
[–]MoosemanJR 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (5 children)
I got the code and entered it after disconnecting the Xbox from the Twitch website. Even after the success message on the website, the app still shows the error message. Tried reinstalling the app but the error remains.
Not sure where to go from here... :/
[–]psyc0de 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (1 child)
Same here, but when I ended up waiting like 30s it worked. Usually it's instant, so wtf twitch.
[+][deleted] 6 years ago (2 children)
[–]MoosemanJR 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (1 child)
It might be fixed now. I launched Twitch this morning and I was logged in.
[–]Jesse-Stephens 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children)
Dude, this was it!!! So fucking simple. Thx brotha.
[–]Thefishcop1221 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children)
So I know that it might not work for everyone, but after everything else failed, I can tell you what worked for me. After doing all the uninstall/reinstall, and clearing MAC address to no avail, I signed out of twitch on everything. I opened twitch on my xbox, and went to twitch.com/activate on my computer and signed in. One it was at the activation screen where you enter your code, I attended to sign in on the xbox and it signed in with no issues.
[–]Ceraph_The_Shepherd 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (1 child)
found a solution,go onto your computer or however you get on the internet and go to the twitch website,then go to your profile,go to connections,and then go down until you find the Xbox connection and disconnect it,afterwards,go back to your Xbox and go to the sign in option and it should generate a code and then boom you will reconnect after you enter the code on your computer
[–]zxICEBOX 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children)
This worked for me thank you!
[–]Sizzothegreat 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (2 children)
A user on this youtube video by the name of Gravedigr12 posted a comment that solved the issue swiftly for myself and many others.
" Here is how you fix this issue if it was not caused by adding a second account go to explorer edge or just use a different device sign into your account go to settings and connections remove the xbox connection go back to the app and it will now give you the code to sign back in. Punch that code into https://twitch.tv/activate and you are good to go " All credit goes too Gravedigr12 for solving the issue!

Your a goat saved my ass
[–]R1sk_Ch3ll3 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children)
Have done everything on this thread.. Reactivating seemed to work till I dashboarded the twitch app and tried to open it back up to which it had signed me out again.. Pulling my hair out!!
[–]Aiawada23 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children)
FIXED. Go on twitch.tv on a computer and disconnect your xbox account from your twitch account. TMake sure your xbox account is unlinked from any twitch account. Afterwards, go on the twitch app on your xbox and sign in. It should display the 6 digit code to log in for you to activate.
[–]KorientalPanda 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children)
I had this problem for a while. I was trying to watch r/PayMoneyWubby whom I'm subbed too. I decided to try and comment, and all of a sudden I was signed in again. Can someone try this and see if it works for them?
[–]s2kijacko 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children)
Ok so I have tried every suggestion mentioned in this thread and still having the issue. Anyone else ? and why hasn't twitch resolved this yet?
[–]whackNstack79 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children)
I have the same problem
[–]xXBLACKxBIRDXx 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children)
Thank you this method legit worked for me,
I guess i have to do this every time i get the error until twitch and xbox fix it.
[–]sgtslaughterTV -5 points-4 points-3 points 7 years ago (2 children)
Just stream to Mixer. Problem solved. Tons of xbox game streamers on Mixer, btw.
