With new integration i can’t embed twitch channel on my website.

The instructions are quite clear

```auto
<iframe
    src="https://player.twitch.tv/?channel=dallas&parent=streamernews.example.com&muted=true"
    height="720"
    width="1280"
    frameborder="0"
    scrolling="no"
    allowfullscreen="true">
</iframe>

```

`parent` string **(required)** Domain(s) that will be embedding Twitch. You must have one parent key for each domain your site uses.

But i am getting an error from the title, so am i missing something. I just enter the website where i will embed content? Or ‘parrent key’ is some key i should get to grant access to the website to embed video ?

Swap `streamernews.example.com` for your actual website

And make sure that your website is over SSL

I found the issue, i forgot to clear the cache of the website after changing the code.

Classic.

It’s either DNS or caching, and if neither it’s DNS caching
