How twoku works?

After you install the twoku on your Roku device, and when you launch it for the first time, you will be automatically promoted to another page. It does not even ask you to log in for watching twitch streaming, it depends on your choice whether you agree to log in or not.

In Case of login you just need to enter your previous twitch username, and twoku automatically fetches all previous data and followed the channel as well. There is neither hassle of password nor to find the channel manually.

You will find the same atmosphere as twitch. As you search videos through the search bar, the choice of your favorite categories, everything is the same. So you will not feel like anything new and easily get comfortable in this environment.

Are there any alternative to Twoku –

Initially, all users were able to access twitch with the help of Twitched and Twitched Zero but both of them have since been discontinued after Amazon moved from Twitch to Roku.

But after that, with the help of TTV, many people have enjoyed the streams of twitch. But now it is also in no use, this method has also been discontinued. At the moment, it is very difficult to find any better option than twoku.

Twoku is not working-

  • Like I said earlier, the twoku is currently in its initial phase, due to which there are many bugs in it, which will be cleared in the upcoming updates.
  • Internet might be also the culprit in this scenario. You must have at least 5MB/s to watch twitch videos without buffering. You can also enjoy streams in the high HD quality of 1080, but your speed must be more than about 15 Mb / s.
  • Follow all procedures again, and check out the system update option on twitch Roku.
