How to Fix Frankerfacez Not Working Issue?
If you're facing this issue, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve it.
1. Ensure FrankerFaceZ is Installed Properly
- Before troubleshooting, confirm that FrankerFaceZ is installed:
- Visit FrankerFaceZ.com
- Click on Download and install the extension for your browser (Chrome, Firefox, or Edge).
2. Refresh or Restart Your Browser
- A simple refresh can often resolve issues:
- Press Ctrl + F5 (Windows) or Cmd + Shift + R (Mac) to force a refresh.
- Close and reopen your browser to reset session data.
3. Check for Extension Conflicts
- Other browser extensions, particularly Twitch-related ones, may interfere with FrankerFaceZ:
- Disable BetterTTV (BTTV) or any other Twitch extensions.
- Disable ad blockers like uBlock Origin or AdBlock and test FFZ.
- If FFZ works after disabling another extension, there’s likely a conflict.
4. Verify FrankerFaceZ is Enabled on Twitch
- Check if FFZ is enabled within Twitch:
- Open Twitch and go to a channel’s chat.
- Click the gear icon in the chatbox.
- Navigate to FrankerFaceZ Control Panel and ensure it’s active.
5. Clear Browser Cache and Cookies
- Corrupted cache or cookies can cause FFZ to malfunction:
- Open your browser’s Settings.
- Navigate to Privacy and Security > Clear Browsing Data.
- Select Cached images and cookies, then click Clear Data.
- Restart your browser and check if FFZ is working.
6. Try Incognito Mode or a Different Browser
- To rule out browser issues:
- Open an Incognito (Private) Window and visit Twitch.
- If FFZ works in Incognito, the problem might be with another extension or browser setting.
- If the issue persists, try another browser (Chrome, Firefox, or Edge).
7. Update Your Browser
- An outdated browser version may cause FFZ to stop working:
- Open your browser’s Settings > About section.
- If an update is available, install it and restart your browser.
8. Check FrankerFaceZ Server Status
