Do you conduct live broadcasts yourself or are you just a spectator - it doesn’t matter, no one is safe from blocking with text content “Using Twitch is impossible for you”. And in most cases the problem is not from the Twitch service, but from yours. The causes of this error and methods of dealing with it now and consider.
Broadcast Violation
If you are an active streamer and, once again logging into your channel, you see a message that using Twitch is impossible for you, this means only one thing: your channel has been blocked for violating broadcast rules.
It doesn’t matter if you are a streamer starting out or already with a huge audience of subscribers - Twitch service rules are the same for everyone. It is worth running ahead and reporting that on other platforms for conducting live broadcasts the rules will be different and may differ significantly from the same Twitch service. Therefore, if you are simultaneously streaming on several sites, then you need to study the rules of all sites.
For example, recently, Twitch introduced rules on dress code for broadcasts. From now on, if the clothes in which the streamer is on the broadcast emphasizes or, conversely, reveals the contours of the body, then this is a gross violation and for this they can block the entire channel. In particular, this applies to girls streamers, who up to this point have worn quite frank outfits. But guys should not relax, for a naked or naked torso - the consequences are the same. Such an innovation affected only one service, and ignorance of this rule does not exempt from liability.
Therefore, if you see a message “using Twitch is impossible for you” and you are a streamer on your channel, this means that you have violated some point of the rules for using the Twitch service, perhaps even the one described above.
View from the viewer
Even if you are a spectator, not a streamer, certain rules also apply to you. On broadcasts, it is forbidden to insult other visitors, insult the streamer himself, or show racism in any of its forms. There are other rules governing the activities of the Twitch service, which can always be found both during registration and after it in the "Help" section. Therefore, if you see a message that the use of Twitch is impossible for you, this means that there were violations on your part that you might not have known about and that you did not familiarize yourself with when registering on the Twitch site.
Blocking in the absence of violations
Why do they say “using Twitch is impossible for you” if you absolutely did not violate anything and acted in accordance with the established rules? Yes, it happens, especially if you have a dynamic IP address. To understand what a dynamic address is, you need to know that on the Internet there are two types of addresses - dynamic and static.
- A dynamic address is an IP address that can change over time, as a rule, when the router reboots, it will already be changed.
- A static address is a permanent IP address that is assigned by your Internet service provider for your computer. This address is always permanent and never changes.
Now, understanding what a static and dynamic IP address is, you can explain more popularly why they say “using Twitch is impossible for you” if there are no violations on your part. This can happen, as mentioned above, only on a dynamic IP address, and the reason is simple: someone connected to the Internet got the same IP address that you have now, and violated the Twitch site rules under this address . Twitch uses IP address blocking, and you accidentally got the blocked address when you connected to the Internet. In the case of using a dynamic IP address, absolutely any Internet user can get a blocking randomly.
Ways to solve the problem
It doesn’t matter whether you are a streamer or a viewer, if you see a message on your screen that using Twitch is impossible for you, you must do the following:
- Write to Twitch service support and try to solve the problem through them.
- Try rebooting the router - this can only help if you have a dynamic IP address.
- Use proxies to spoof a valid IP address. Helps in the case of a static IP address.
The first and second options are the most acceptable ways to solve the problem. The third method works best when the first two methods did not help.
Tips streamers and viewers
If you are a streamer and pin your hopes on your channel, then first of all, make sure that you have a static IP address. You can connect such an IP in your personal account of your Internet provider. In the future, this can save you most of the problems.
If you are a simple viewer, you do not need a static IP, just restart the router, and the problem will be solved in most cases of such locks. Well, do not forget that you need to behave properly in broadcasts and follow the rules that are provided by the stream platform.
