Make a new Samsung TV App.
The Samsung TV twitch application has been removed due to it not being official.
Now thousands of people have to go out and buy a chromecast ect to watch twitch on there Samsung TV. Please make an official twitch app so these thousands of people can watch twitch without having to buy anything else.
The main reason I bought my TV was because there was a twitch app.

Hello hello everyone - Great news! There is a new Twitch app available on Samsung TV's. If you have a TV enabled with the new Samsung GamingHub you can find the Twitch app here - https://www.samsung.com/us/televisions-home-theater/tvs/gaming-hub/. For all other Samsung TV's, the Twitch app will be available on the main Samsung SmartHub for apps.
Thank you all for your feedback on this, have a great day!

Please develop a Samsung Smart TV app. I don't want a workaround for a feature which is already supported by all the other big streaming/viewing apps. It's 2022, FFS.

Using the twitch app on firestick is not too bad, app is better than Samsung browser, but should be better considering twitch and firestick are both Amazon, IE support squad streaming.

m.twitch.tv hasn't been working for me aswell since a couple of days on my 2019 Samsung Smart TV. The non mobile site is hard to access and slow as hell with the tizen browser, but at least it is the last working solution.

I can also confirm the workaround (using m.twitch.com) no longer works. I had to login to the main twitch (non mobile) then it worked. It's not ideal because each time you close the browser, it defaults to the mobile version. Tizen sucks

The workaround of using the browser via m.twitch.com appears to have stopped working - I get a spinner when trying to load any video on twitch now.

For anyone who doesn’t know, there used to be a Samsung TV Twitch app. I don’t think they have ever addressed the community with why the app was removed. It would be nice to hear some reasoning behind this so we can know whether we should be able to expect this ever.
In the meantime, we can still use the Twitch mobile page (m.twitch.com) on the Samsung internet browser on the TV. It’s not great, but it lets you join a stream.

I'm agree with this topic. I plan to buy this tv: Samsung QE65QN90 and it needs a twitch app.
Devs pls write an official twitch application for Samsung tv's. :)

This is just a Joke. That there is no TV APP for approx 20% of the TV's out there is just unbeliveable.

"User voice", right... what a joke!! But I'm not even impressed you guys are unable to develop an app for Tizen, since you can't even make it work fine in your own FireTV Stick.
