Username not working on Twitch?
I wanted to install Twitch and register there, but when I enter a username it says 'Username does not exist'.
When I use the 'Login' option, the username doesn't work either. No matter what name I enter.
Can someone tell me what to do?
Take another name.
If you had read the question completely and / or carefully, you would know that I have already used a different name several times.
It reads to me as if you were registering (logging in after you have registered), not registering (creating a user account).
Check again whether you are really in "Register", not in "Login". It should look something like this:
He keeps telling me * This username is not available *
OK, "not available" is different from "not available".
The message "* This username is not available." usually means that a channel with that name already exists. You will have to look for a different username accordingly.
Even if it seems to you that the channel does not exist, it could also be because the channel is currently banned, i.e. The account with the username basically still exists (for example, to restore the channel later can), but Twitch denied access to the channel. [Or there are other reasons: For example, because the name is on a corresponding blacklist as an insult, etc.]
Since you wrote that this happens to all the usernames you try… Maybe the ones you tried are actually all taken by accident, or something like that?
If necessary, try a really random name, for example "ajijfwfjig38" or something like that, which is almost certainly not taken. Or give us examples of usernames that you have tried so that we can see whether they are also shown as not available to us, or whether the problem is on your side.
Okay, thank you very much, I finally got it right.
