Overall, Twitch has been very useful in places where it is accessible. But still, the service faces some errors because of which broadcasts on certain devices gets interrupted. The error is known as the Error 788078D4. Users of Twitch, especially the ones who stream it on Xbox have been facing this issue. A user said that when he tries to broadcast anything with the Twitch app, the Error 788078D4 appears and it says “We’re so sorry; something unexpected happened”.
A user of Xbox One said that the Error 788078D4 appeared on screen when he tried to broadcast something with the Twitch app and it said that two-factor authentication is needed to stream. But users who have enabled the two-factor authentication are also experiencing the same error. If you are getting the same error while trying to broadcast Twitch content on your device, check on your stream key and reset it. After this, Twitch will prompt you to enable two factor authentication to view the stream key. Set up the authentication and after this, you will be able to stream Twitch on your device.
