The first thing to do is to check the Twitter account,@TwitchSupport. This is incredibly useful and very well up-to-date to keep you aware of any issues that are only happening onTwitch.
Seeing as there have also been reports that this error can be caused by the OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) version being out of date, digging into OBS itself is also never a bad move. To check if you have an OBS update, open the application, and under the Help menu at the top click Check for New Update. OBS will now pretty quickly tell you whether or not there is an update to be found.
For a quicker way, you’re able to just compare the version shown in the top corner of your application to the version shown on theOBS website.
