Twitch blocks every domain where I embed my channel

Xop0 · 2021-12-12T15:54:57.497Z

Hello, I am trying to partner with the gaming audience sites (as
partner fextralife does) to attract new people to watch the stream, but very sites that works with me to embed my broadcast gets blocked by domain.
For example, I had a hard time negotiating a partnership with a gaming site to promote small indie games to an interested audience and bring new users to Twitch, but it was blocked in just a week.
At the same time, the sites complied with all placement rules Everything | Twitch Developers , except for the recommended sizes (the width was slightly smaller to fit in the sidebar of the site). No rules were violated, but the domain was blocked.
Is the minimum size 340x400 a mandatory attribute for which a domain is blocked, or is this just a recommendation? Because another recommendation says about 300x400
I have seen many sites with smaller players. And even the players are opened from the slider (but with autoplay) and these sites are not blocked.
Can I get an explanation about the reasons for blocking, to eliminate violations and restore the functionality of the embedding?
I tried to write twitch support for this issue. But the staff were completely incompetent. Either they simply responded with a template, or they said that this was a technical problem.
And they don’t even answer how to get the domain unlocked.

Now embedding is 525x300, but still in block.

Twitch staff/support cannot help with developer issues they’ll jsut send you here

Xop0:

Now embedding is 525x300, but still in block.

Please provide a link to the page with the non functioning embed. and/or the code you are using to generate said embed.

So this is not a development problem. The twitch team blocked the embedding on this domain. A few days ago, everything worked.
Now does not work on the page: https://freetp.org/news/4474-ne-rabotaet-controller-v-igre.html
And even just a link https://player.twitch.tv/?channel=xop0&parent=www.freetp.org

They have already blocked 4 of my partner sites.

The parent is incorrect.

Your website is freetp.org but you only declared www.freetp.org as a valid parent.

So https://www.freetp.org/news/4474-ne-rabotaet-controller-v-igre.html would work (in the DNS Probe worked). and https://freetp.org/news/4474-ne-rabotaet-controller-v-igre.html will not.

As to the linked page.

The Twitch JS Embed lib is missing. So I can’t run a test properly.

The JS code that is there looks correct as does the URL used for the iFrame (even if the JS didn’t run)

Not sure what you mean by this.

Are you saying it was working and now it isn’t working?

That suggests you might be doing something on these sites which is not allowed under the rules.

See Embedding Twitch | Twitch Developers for additional rules
And Twitch.tv - Developer Agreement and Requirements for Specific Features and APIs 1. Embeddable Experiences

If you’ve fallen afoul of the rules and your website is disallowed for embeds. Not much this forum can do for help on that either.

As well as the Developer Agreement, the Community Guidelines may also have a part to play in embeds being disabled on some sites. Because that site embeds on every single page, even when the page in question has no relation whatsoever to the stream, it could potentially be seen as an attempt to artificially manipulate live viewer count or other metrics, which the Community Guidelines prohibits.

I’m not a legal export, and nor do I work for Twitch, so I can’t say for certain if that is the case for the reason why they may not work here, but both the site and the channel being embeded MUST follow all of Twitch’s legal agreements.

https://fextralife.com/ does this on every page, on every wiki, everywhere.
Therefore, on this gaming site, embedding was at first on the sidebar, and now before the comments, in order to attract as much of the group as possible to the stream. And the site visitors were fine with it.
I am a partner of this gaming site and we cooperate with a related audience.

Twitch support sent me right here without explaining why the embedding was blocked. So I’m trying to understand what exactly I violated and how to get the embed unlock.

<div class="twitch-embed-div">
   <div id="twitch-embed">
      <iframe src="https://embed.twitch.tv/?channel=xop0&height=400&migration=true&muted=true&parent=freetp.org&theme=dark&width=400" allowfullscreen="" 
      scrolling="no" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" title="Twitch" width="400" height="400">
      </iframe>
   </div>
      <script type="text/javascript">
         new Twitch.Embed( 'twitch-embed', {
            width   : 400,
            height   : 400,
            channel   : 'xop0',
            muted   : true,
            theme   : 'dark',
            parent   : ['freetp.org']
         } );
      </script>
  </div>
</div>

The site does not contain anything that violates the rules. A regular gaming site.
Perhaps because of the size, one of the parameters is less than the minimum, but I have seen many sites have smaller embeddings. For example https://www.igromania.ru/ 375x275 on every page.

And what is the minimum size if:

Embedded video windows must be at least 400x300 pixels.

Height of the rendered element, in pixels. This can be expressed as a percentage, by passing a string like 50% . Minimum: 400. Default: 480. Maximum width of the rendered element, in pixels. This can be expressed as a percentage, by passing a string like 100% . Minimum: 340. Default: 940.

Now the code is completely in line with the documentation, but still nothing works.

<div class="twitch-embed-div">
   <div id="twitch-embed">
      <iframe src="https://embed.twitch.tv/?channel=xop0&height=300&migration=true&muted=true&parent=freetp.org&theme=dark&width=525" allowfullscreen="" 
      scrolling="no" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" title="Twitch" width="525" height="300">
      </iframe>
   </div>
      <script type="text/javascript">
         new Twitch.Embed( 'twitch-embed', {
            width   : 525,
            height   : 300,
            channel   : 'xop0',
            muted   : true,
            theme   : 'dark',
            parent   : ['freetp.org']
         } );
      </script>
  </div>

The issue is still not resolved, but you have already hidden this topic.
At the same time, twitch support also does not give any information and directs it here. Vicious circle.

BarryCarlyon · 2021-12-12T18:49:29.305Z

You need/want one or the other, an iFrame or the JS embed code. (Your JS embed/page lacks the JS embed lib/helper), but that doesn’t seem to be the issue.

There isn’t any further informtion that can be provided from the other third parties on this forum.

Since your code seems correct but it still doesn’t work. So it seems to be a policy violation but we/this forum just don’t know, since none of us are staff and they don’t often frequent this forum. Nor have we/this forum/other third parties have anywhere to direct you to.

Thats why it’s been hidden from the main index. To stop randoms chiming in. You may or may not get a follow up from Twitch staff on this but thats not something I can promise. I have flagged this post/thread up the chain , but that may not result in a response from them.

Thank you. I use this topic as additional material for twitch support
