Twitch for the past few hours is facing severe outages that render the streams unwatchable and several other functionality errors across the website as reported by users.
These errors include significant lags and stutters in streams, frequent disconnections from the website and the chat, other the website not loading at all. Stutters are random and can occur at any moment in the stream but the chat disconnections and errors while loading the website are frequent.
