Since a lot of people are stuck at home and looking for some form of entertainment, Twitch’s outage understandably caused some on social media to panic.

Twitch Support tweeted at 7:45pm CT, saying it was investigating the outage. And while the account did not provide an update once streams began reappearing online, the issue mostly cleared up a few minutes after the initial tweet.

Now that Twitch is back up, go ahead and sit back and watch some entertaining streams.
