When it comes to streaming on Twitch, you should know that the server locations are crucial. Some streamers need to connect to servers hundreds of miles away while others are in continents with few or no servers. African streamers, for example, have to use European servers because they do not have their own.
How to check the status of a twitch server
If you want to check the status of a Twitch server from your computer, you can use a website called Twitch Ping Status. It will check whether your server is online and reachable from your current location. This information is updated every thirty seconds. However, some servers may have outages from time to time. In these cases, it may be best to refresh the page.
If you think that the Twitch server is down, you can report it to the Twitch status website. This website will show you the number of reports of outages, as well as links to Twitch Support Twitter accounts. You can also see which parts of the website are down, such as major videos or partial purchasing.
