This was from an auto-embed of a Twitch video link I had posted in our Discourse forum. I’ve looked around other Discourse instances and seen the same thing, so I might not be alone with this.

The browser console error is as follows:

```
Twitch embed error message:
[NoParent] parent query string value was not specified
Docs: https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/embed/video-and-clips/

```

Is there a fix/workaround?

If there’s no current fix, it’d be great if I could specifically disable Twitch auto-embeds for now until there’s a fix; have tried blacklisting the site to no success, and I haven’t found any obvious-looking config for toggling certain embed types off.

Can you post one of the Twitch links here? Do you mean oneboxing, when you post a link to (for example) a youtube video on a line by itself?

Let’s try it, a random past video from the LEC.

```

```

Aye, oneboxing. Tried without the extra time interval on the end but same issue.  
Seems the embed needs an extra parameter now?

Aha we should fix this if we can @sam .. if we can, before the release, if it is an easy one.
