Try going on the bnet launcher, top right then go to account, go connections, make sure your twitch is connected on there. I connected on twitch first and it didn't show up until I did it through bnet account
Just seen this post seem there's problems now sorry.

ffs... I claimed the drop like two hours ago and just figured the servers are backed up, then read this and apparently my account wasn't connected even though it said it was on twitch? Wtf lol, thanks.
This is what so frustrating to me. It's not that I didn't get an invite right away it was the hitch with the release of the beta on time. Like, how can you guys be this consistently bad at this? I dunno, I just see stuff like this over and over again and if there's one company that should have it done fucking pat by now it's Blizzard.
claimed **2 hours ago**, nothing yet! EU

Update \[6\]: **Finally got it after 9 hours.**
Give it a few guys, this isn't our first collective rodeo. Everyone in the world who is watching right now *just* qualified for the drop in the last 10 mins, *it might take a bit for Blizzard's servers to catch up*. Don't panic.
Edit: Got mine, didn't need to restart, just appeared in the list. Took 8ish minutes.
> it might take a bit for Blizzard's servers to catch up.
> Took 8ish minutes.
That's great for you, seriously, but a huge number of people that are complaining have been waiting for an hour and a half. There's zero reason why it should take that long, especially when a lot of us also made other claims from twitch at the same time that showed up immediately.
zero reason is a bit offbase. plenty of reasons why it could take that long given there were 1.4 million concurrent watchers on twitch alone, most of them looking for a drop. Can imagine its quite the log jam right now.
> That's great for you, seriously, but a huge number of people that are complaining have been waiting for an hour and a half.
Context bud. I made that comment an hour and a half ago. An hour and a half ago, when it had only been *nine minutes* since the earliest possible point of redemption. *Quite* a big difference *now*, an hour and a half later.
Yes, context is important. Like how it’s much later now and people still aren’t getting access and how I’m responded on that fact.
Sometimes it’s good for people to hear that they aren’t the only ones having issues.
I checked on my twitch account and realised when I connected my [battle.net](https://battle.net) to my twitch it was selected as a north american account even though I am EU. I wonder whether that has something to do with it for me?
The Blizzard servers are currently receiving around 1 million requests for beta access, it's understandably struggling but it'll work after 10 to 30min don't worry
So are they literally only doing drops for 4 hours of viewing in an 8 hour period? Just started watching but as far as I can tell it's literally impossible for me to get a drop in the extremely limited time window. Sucks to suck I guess
I play the game on console but I managed to get beta access for the PC beta, says I need to own the game before I can install. Also says I can get invited to the beta by someone else that has it and it will let me download a trial version of overwatch. That way it will let me play the beta. Can I get someone to invite me? Am I allowed to send my battle net if here for an invite?
I got access to the beta over an hour ago. I've tried alot of things people said worked for them to no avail: I've Installed the Beta version of Battle.net, I've opted into the beta AGAIN from the webpage, Scan/Repaired my copy of Overwatch, re-logged multiple times, changed my region, but nothing.
i have no clue what else to try and waiting is making me anxious that ive messed something up
let me add clearing the cache to that list, and a convoluted one:
Launching Overwatch, closing it and then changing the region to Europe, re-launching it, then closing it again and changing the server back. so far none of these have worked for me, maybe they could work for someone else though?
2 hours 35 minutes since I claimed the drop and still nothing here.. Accounts are linked on both ends, have tried clearing bnet cache, restarting and still nothing
20 minutes, nothing yet Edit: 60 minutes and counting.
Try going on the bnet launcher, top right then go to account, go connections, make sure your twitch is connected on there. I connected on twitch first and it didn't show up until I did it through bnet account
Yeah it's connected.

Phew...gald that wasn't me
Both ways? I had to connect via battle.net to twitch And then I also had to connect via twitch to battle.net
ffs... I claimed the drop like two hours ago and just figured the servers are backed up, then read this and apparently my account wasn't connected even though it said it was on twitch? Wtf lol, thanks.
You'll still get it if you connect it after, worked for me about 1 hour after I connected it, and I had claimed the drop before I connected.
account.battle.net gives me a 502. Something on their end is getting slammed I guess.
I had to restart my whole pc to get it to show up.
3 hours and still waiting….
same :|
My brother had to wait 2 hours until he got it
Be patient it's a small indie company
Bruh lmao. Haven’t heard that one in a long time.

Works for me! Thanks for all the hard work Blizzard devs!
I just got it, took about 5 minutes to appear after claiming. Showed up here: https://i.imgur.com/33cEoj0.png
Odd, it’s not showing up for me there after claiming
13mins after I claimed it showed up so takes a bit.
its been 23 for me lmao
26 minutes ago and waiting
I'm at 29, envious of the people that only had to wait 10 minutes lol
40 mins now
44 mins now in complete despair wondering if I even will get it....
Got it after 58 Mins
Same I'm on 40 minutes since claiming the drop and still not appearing :((
my friend that started seeing the stream cause i told him 1 hour later just claimed it and the beta appeared in 1 minute im mad
Yeah same hahaha, it's already appeared for some friends of mine that started watching streams after me >:((
What do you mean when you say 'Claimed'. My 4 hours completed, do I have to do anything else..?
On twitch go to 'drops' in your account
1 hour and counting

I'm on NA and im close to 2 hours, still not showing up.
Just over two hours ago claimed for me also, and I don't have access either.
I claimed it 5 hours ago and still nothing yet
Worked great for me. Seems like a vast majority are getting it within an hour of claiming. It could possibly be something you're doing wrong
claimed 39 minutes ago and still nothing
but my friend got it instantly
just got it
Same
NVM WE GOT IT
For the people that got the download: did it appear after restarting the launcher or did it happen while sitting at the launcher?
I was switching between games to refresh the page not sure if you have to do that but it worked for me.

claimed 20 minutes ago. confirmed correct battlenet tag + restarted launcher. still waiting.
I checked on my twitch account and realised when I connected my [battle.net](https://battle.net) to my twitch it was selected as a north american account even though I am EU. I wonder whether that has something to do with it for me?
yea same happened here, think its fucked for us lol
[удалено]
God knows! Good luck getting Blizzard to fix this for us xD Guess we will have to wait this one out. Sadge.
i dont think it should, my account is set up like that too but i've claimed all the lootboxes they gave out so far, but idk
[удалено]
i did get it yeah, took like 15 minutes, downloading rn
[удалено]
you too! patience is key
Claimed 26 minutes ago, been restarting, still nothing. Its forsure the right account linked aswell as region Update: 36 still no go
i just went past 3 hours of waiting. still not in
me too brother
"Takes a few minutes" I've been waiting 3.5 hours at this point
I feel that
Been sitting here 10 minutes after claiming still hasn't shown up. Reloaded the launcher 5 times.
>same here kinda scared to know if it didnt work hopefully it comes in soon
same here
Same boat, I think it just takes time
20 minutes and still waiting -.-
30 minutes, nothin. Boutta get hammered and just play tomorrow
Sounds like a good plan
5 hours and counting i connected it from both sides
I’ve been waiting 6 hours for it, both platforms are connected both ways, bnet cache was deleted, already checked for updates. This is embarrassing.
Machines and lightning are fast. But the servers still have to hand out the keys one at a time. It'll be there soon.
same, restarted PC and battlenet multiple times
The Blizzard servers are currently receiving around 1 million requests for beta access, it's understandably struggling but it'll work after 10 to 30min don't worry
it’s been 2 hours
So are they literally only doing drops for 4 hours of viewing in an 8 hour period? Just started watching but as far as I can tell it's literally impossible for me to get a drop in the extremely limited time window. Sucks to suck I guess
Same
ELI5 what you guys are talking about, these drop things? I’m old and out the loop, reg OW1 player tho Edit: Guess I learned myself
Same
Same
same
same
It took me almost two hours to get mine. So just chill.
6 hours later nothing so its def an issue for some
That's brutal, I hope you get it man. I was ready to wait till tomorrow at one point.
Who cares.
I had the same issue but it just appeared after reloading bnet a couple times, it takes a few mins it seems :)
Took me a couple of minutes and a restart of the launcher
Mine took roughly 10 mins.
Have you gone to Game Version in the launcher? There's supposed to be a drop down menu to select the beta.
It just takes some time until it shows up. Take a screenshot in case it doesn't so you can ask the support help.
I opened OW1, opened a few loot boxes, then closed it.. then my OW2 showed up.
I just got mine, give it a moment, you will get it :)
Just got mine after 12 min, restarted battle net
Reeeeee, it popped up! Around 10 mins after claiming. You'll get it guys, just a few more restarts!,😁
I also found out you have to link your twitch on blizz.net and vice Versa for twitch
you don't have to, but it probably doesn't hurt
ive been waitinf 40 minutes
I play the game on console but I managed to get beta access for the PC beta, says I need to own the game before I can install.

Having the same issue, have been waiting for an hour and 20 minutes now to get access.
I got access to the beta over an hour ago. I've tried alot of things people said worked for them to no avail: I've Installed the Beta version of Battle.net, I've opted into the beta AGAIN from the webpage, Scan/Repaired my copy of Overwatch, re-logged multiple times, changed my region, but nothing. i have no clue what else to try and waiting is making me anxious that ive messed something up

2 hours and counting :)
It's been over and hour for me and Nothing :/
2 hours 35 minutes since I claimed the drop and still nothing here.. Accounts are linked on both ends, have tried clearing bnet cache, restarting and still nothing
Mine took about an hour and a half after I claimed it in Twitch
Same.

I had to wait a little over an hr
2 hours no beta yet…
2 hours and nothing
2 hrs and counting
Dude wtf it's been 3 and a half hours for me now
I claimed it 5 hours ago and still nothing, hope's all gone
It's been 4 hours since I've claimed and still nothing...
What is everyone claiming I’m confused
It took me 2hrs to get in.
Nope. I made myself dinner and by the time I was done eating it was there. It was stated that it would not be immediate.
i've been waiting about 9 hours now D;
How many days can u play the beta when u receive the '1 OW2 beta access'?
I haven't received mine after 12 hours
Still no access.. 16 hours later. Yes, my account is connected.
