How To Fix Twitch Not Loading In Chrome in 2024 | NEW & Updated

Are you having trouble playing Twitch in your browser? While this issue is not common, many users may sometimes experience that Twitch is not loading in their Google Chrome browser. If you are dealing with this problem, you’re in luck as this troubleshooting article will show you the fixes that you can try.

How to fix Twitch not loading in Chrome?

These are the solutions that you can do if you’re having a problem watching Twitch using Google Chrome:

Fix #1: Check Twitch server status.

The first thing that you must do is to verify if there’s an on-going issue with the Twitch servers. This is an important step especially if you can’t access Twitch not just in Chrome but also in other browsers or devices.

Fix #2: Verify if Google Chrome browser services are working.

If there are no known issues with the Twitch servers, the next step that you want to do is to ensure that the issue is not caused by the Google Chrome browser. Try to check the social media accounts of Google Chrome support in Twitter or Facebook to see if they can give you an indication of an on-going outage or maintenance. 

Fix #3: Check for poor internet connection issues.

When it comes to ensuring good quality streaming services, you want to ensure that your network connection at home is performing properly. If the internet connection on your device is slow or dropping intermittently, Twitch may take a long time to load videos (buffering), or, in some cases, may even crash. 

Make sure to reboot your network equipment (such as modem, router, switch, etc.) before you try to load Twitch again.

If you think that you have a slow internet connection problem, or if your internet keeps disconnecting, be sure to contact your Internet Service Provider so they can fix it.

Another way to fix Twitch not loading issue in the Chrome browser is to use different DNS server addresses. Sometimes, ISP-provided DNS servers may not work properly. In this situation, you can go into your computers DNS settings and try to replace your DNS server with a new one such as the free and fast Google DNS.

Fix #5: Refresh the DNS cache.
