I’m not showing any progress towards the pet on my Twitch Drops page. My accounts are connected - I’ve “earned” all the recent available Overwatch 2 drops. I’ve watched about an hour and a half of two different big WoW streamers that are tagged with drops enabled and I’m still not showing any progress whatsoever.

If your progress isn’t updating (I usually needed to to refresh the Drops & Rewards page for it to update), double check your connection.
If you reset your password, the connection will break and you’ll need to unlink and relink the account.
The 7 day cooldown does not engage if you are connecting to the same account.

I had to relink my account to Twitch yesterday and I’ve received drops before from Hearthstone. I don’t know how they became unlinked. The only thing I’ve done recently is change my sub. But, I still showed progress towards the drop on the streamers page. and didn’t realize they were not linked until I went to claim the reward.
Make sure you dont have the streams muted as well, if its muted it doesnt count

Did you recently change your twitch password? That unlinks the accounts and they would need to be relinked. Though they do still show as linked when this occurs.

Have mine muted the past two hours and I’m at 50% and it is showing proper progress so this isn’t true

I haven’t reset my Twitch password.
I’ve refreshed the Inventory page multiple times.
I DID finally get some progress to show up when I watched via the website. However, if I watch through my Xbox - which I’ve verified is logged into my Twitch account - I don’t gain any progress. I checked this by loading up the same streamer on the Xbox that I actually received progress from via the Twitch website.
All of the Overwatch drops I received last month were earned via the Twitch app on my Xbox. I don’t see why it shouldn’t suddenly work this month.

Alot of streamers and people on twitch are saying they arnt getting progress if muted. I had one stream muted last night and even tho I watched it for 6 hours it only counted the first hour or so I didnt have it muted and then stopped at like 35%.

It can cause issues. I’m glad that you apparently didn’t experience any, but it is a possible cause of no progress.

From the FAQ:
“Twitch apps on game consoles, smart TVs, and other TV apps do not support drops.”

I see that, now. However, ALL of the drops I earned for Overwatch 2 was via the Xbox app.

And overwatch is able to be played on an xbox.
Wow isn’t.
Regardless, the promotion is what it is, and it clearly says xbox isn’t a platform to get credit on.

What they’re inferring is that the OW2 Twitch Drops have the same stipulation in the FAQ. It just didn’t seem to bug out in their favor here like it did there.

Gotcha. I’m not an overwatch player, so i didn’t even look.

this is a TWITCH answer though, it’s not a Blizzard control point for drop eligibility.
Beware. The Twitch timer counted the 3 hours I spent watching the first channel (Hazelnutty), but dropped that time when I changed to another channel. Reset the timer to the second channel.
The Twitch timer needs to be fixed before the Feldrake mount drop event!

Q. Do I need to watch the same channel the entire time to earn my drops?
A. You can earn progress towards a drop on any eligible channel in the World of Warcraft category on Twitch. You can, for example, watch half an hour on one channel and then switch to another channel without losing your progress. You cannot earn progress faster by watching more than one channel at a time.
Twitch: See how close you are to completing drops that ask you to watch streams. Claim the drop when you have watched 100% of the required time in an eligible channel.
Channel is singular.
Checked my Blizzard-Twitch connection; it was unbroken. Logged out of Twitch and back in as a last resort. No difference. Returning to the original channel made no difference.
Too late to start over.
(I suggest players take photos of the timer in case it resets and you need to open a bug ticket.)

Then that is something that you need to report to Twitch. I don’t know how or why it would be different for you, and I am sorry for it - but I know my stream I watched cut out at around 85% and it defaulted to switch me to another channel without issue and it was able to log the remaining 15%. Again, something I would be bringing up with Twitch. It’s their system that is doing the official counting and all of the back end of stuff. Their system communicates with Blizzard only once the metric has been met so that the reward is validated for that account.

It’s a Twitch problem, but it’s Blizzard’s promotion. If Blizzard’s partner drops the ball and it results in unhappy WoW players then its Blizzard’s problem too; Blizz needs to coordinate with Twitch to work out the kinks because if they don’t, these promotions are just going to generate ill-will rather than hype/fun/excitement.
Thank you for your suggestion. I looked again for Contact Us and Help. Found the following URL for “Support” and opened a “case”:
help (dot) twitch (dot) tv (forward slash) s (forward slash) contactsupport

IMO Blizzard is an equal partner in this event.
No, it’s still a twitch problem. It’s their platform.
No, Blizzard does not run or operate Twitch.
