About this video: "How to Fix Auto Hosting Bug"

Issues from turning on "Auto-Hosting":
1) I get tons of random hosts from random people (about 20 to 30 per hour)
2) When I host a channel it will only stick for a few moments before hosting another channel I have never seen nor watch.
3) While live broadcasting, my stream will randomly host another channel mid stream. Pushing all my views to another channel. Happens about ever 45 minutes. Had to manually /unhost every time.
4) When I watch other streamers, I will get messages in their chat, that a random person is Now auto-hosting me.

How to fix issue:
1) De-mod all people, clients, bots, APIs, and third party programs that have "Mod" privileges in your channel.
2) Disconnect All third party programs under your Twitch Connections Page which is under Settings. Scroll down to the bottom and disconnect.
3) Do a test stream to make sure all issues are fixed and you are good to go.
4) Slowly start adding/connecting in waves, all your mods and clients programs.

Most likely there is a rouge client out there that is causing the issue with Twitch Auto Hosting. I am not sure which client caused my issue. If you find out please add it to the comments.

I hope this helps fix your issues. Thanks Twitch Support!

Disconnected all the things I don't use anymore, and it actually fixed the problem straight away!

Did you say you unlinked all of your connections/extensions? I have a lot that I've used for years, like StreamLabs and NightBot. I'm having this issue with my auto-host list. Just reached out to support but hoping I can re-mod before my stream tomorrow. Lol

Also, if anyone is having trouble turning off the auto-host, go into your chat room and type /unhost 🤙

My issue was that it just wouldn't host any channels. (I had two in my Streamer Shelf list.)

For those who haven't figured out what replaced the "Connections" section since this video was made, I'm assuming it's the "Extensions" section. Those are what I changed. I just had one, fortunately, (Spotify), but I deactivated that. I should have checked right away to see if that fixed it, but I went straight for the Mods settings too, under Preferences, and turned off everything I could find, which was just the bot, moving that level down to zero, and then allowing hyperlinks in the Chat Options section. It worked after all of that.

Thanks for this helpful video! Just ran into this issue trying to host some friends.

I seem to have a problem where the list that shows people who autohost me doesn't get updated i.e. I'm getting autohosts from people but they're not on my list of "people who autohost you" it's annoying.

[Hazno]

Thanks, I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this.

[SkaterLifeo]

I'm still having issues even after I disconnected all connections, and set mod level to 0.

Auto hosting hasn't worked for me since day 1

[PetersonsArtGames]

I have a problem: "this channel is unable to be hosted". I can't host a friend's channel and neither he can't host mine. What is going on?

[PistolArrow]

I had an issue where my nightbot restricted a raid Someone for the first time hosted me i was surprised Lol but they couldnt start a raid or spam emotesb:/ I changed and disabled some settings on my nighbot except links did i do the right thing ???

[jonderwan]

It just doesnt want to host. Even though autohost is activated

[DvsFash]

I am having issues with my auto-host list not showing me or updating who auto-hosts me. It's been stuck on the same 4 people for a month or so and many people have added me back/ told me they added me. I have gotten e-mails saying that these people are adding me to auto hosting as well. If you have any ideas please feel free to reply to this message! I do not know why this is happening and it's driving me nuts because I cant see who auto hosts me!

[Spinow_]

This video was extremely helpful! It saved me lots of time. Thanks.

[StickyBudz]

I can't stream because Australian Internet sucks! So I auto host Twitch streamers on my Twitch channel for now. I'm having a problem searching for people in my channel settings, the search just keeps spinning! Any ideas?

[nemesisgamez]

[gearskap]

I think twitch is doing this on purpose.
