How to Fix Twitch Error 3000 on Your Chrome Browser

Are you trying to load any streaming video on Twitch and facing Error 3000? Well, then I’m going to tell you in this guide how to fix this error. Folks who use the Google Chrome browser come across this issue very often. Now, let’s understand why the Error 3000 happens? Apparently, the Chrome browser is not able to decode the video when you try to load it on Twitch.

I have explained a few simple workarounds that will fix the problem easily. You can try to clear the cache, cookies of the Chrome browser. Usually, storing too many cached files may make the browser slightly inefficient while trying to load a video. Try to disable the hardware accelerator of your browser to fix the Error 3000. You may also allow the Chrome browser to enable the website URLs to set cookies.

How to Fix Twitch Error 3000

There are a few other troubleshooting methods such as trying to view streaming on Twitch using Chrome’s incognito mode. If nothing else works when you load a video and constantly get Error 3000, then you can use Twitch through other web browsers.

Anyways, I have detailed out all the steps for the workarounds that I have mentioned in this guide. Check them out.

Disable Hardware Acceleration

Open Chrome browser
On the top-right corner click on the 3 dot button
From the menu select Settings
On the left-hand panel, click on Advanced
In the search Settings type Hardware acceleration
The option will show up highlighted
Click the toggle beside Use hardware acceleration when available to disable it
Launch Chrome browser once again
Try to load the video on Twitch

If the Error 3000 persists then try the next troubleshooting methods.

Use Chrome browser in Incognito Mode to Fix Twitch Error 3000

Launch the Chrome browser on your desktop
Directly open the incognito browsing window by pressing Ctrl + shift + N
Now access Twitch and try to watch the video of your choice

Clear Browser Cache and Remove Cookies

I’m sure the Error 3000 won’t show up now. If you are still unable to load videos on Twitch and face the same error try to Enable third-party Cookies on the Chrome browser.
