Hello,

I am looking to add my twitch embed to my mobile app and it is not working.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to get this working?

The first thing I did was create an index.html file with the following code and uploaded it to my website. I’ll change the domain for the example to be mywebsite.com and the embed is therefore viewable at https://mywebsite.com/embed. \<!doctype html\> \<html lang="en"\> \<head\> \<meta charset="utf-8"\> \</head\> \<body\> \<iframe src="https://player.twitch.tv/?channel=insomniac&paren…

Yes I saw that solution…is that the only way to do it?

I am using a company called Gappsy to host my app as I am not a engineer or coding guru and this solution is a bit over my head.

That solution was from almost a year ago. Has there been any progress made since then?

Embeds haven’t changed the rules since this solution.

So if it’s not working then it’s somethin with Gappsy or your implementation

Well I haven’t tried the solution you sent the link to yet since Gappsy told me it would work.

I tried getting the parent domain from them and that didn’t work either so they are looking into it.

I was hoping that Twitch had provided a solution to this since it is quite annoying that they have not and are basically forcing people to use there app and not let you embed on mobile when 90% of the world’s population access content online through mobile devices.
