A simple script for embedding Twitch stream only when the channel is live, otherwise it is hidden.
<html>
<head>
<style>
.hide { display:none; }
/* Optional: The following css just makes sure the twitch video stays responsive */
#twitch {
position: relative;
padding-bottom: 56.25%; /* 16:9 */
padding-top: 25px;
height: 0;
}
#twitch object, #twitch iframe {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<script src= "https://player.twitch.tv/js/embed/v1.js"></script>
<div id="twitch" class="hide">
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var options = {
channel: "USERNAME", // TODO: Change this to the streams username you want to embed
width: 640,
height: 360,
};
var player = new Twitch.Player("twitch", options);
player.addEventListener(Twitch.Player.READY, initiate)
function initiate() {
player.addEventListener(Twitch.Player.ONLINE, handleOnline);
player.addEventListener(Twitch.Player.OFFLINE, handleOffline);
player.removeEventListener(Twitch.Player.READY, initiate);
}
function handleOnline() {
document.getElementById("twitch").classList.remove('hide');
player.removeEventListener(Twitch.Player.ONLINE, handleOnline);
player.addEventListener(Twitch.Player.OFFLINE, handleOffline);
player.setMuted(false);
}
function handleOffline() {
document.getElementById("twitch").classList.add('hide');
player.removeEventListener(Twitch.Player.OFFLINE, handleOffline);
player.addEventListener(Twitch.Player.ONLINE, handleOnline);
player.setMuted(true);
}
</script>
</body>

Hi and thank you for this script.

I would like to know if there's a way to hide all the information when mouse hover the player.

Top: Black shadow overlay.

Top left: Channel Name, Streaming for X viewers, Language Tag, Profile Picture Thumbnail and Follow Button.

Top Right: Live Tag.

Bottom: Back shadow overlay.

Bottom Left: Pause and Mute buttons

Bottom Right: Settings, Clip, Fullscreen and Twitch link Icons.

Basically removing everything but the actual stream.

Thank you very much if you can help me sort this out!

I've managed to simplify the responsiveness of this without defining the iframe specifically and just embeding based off how twitch.tv reccomends using the script.

const options = {
    channel: "CHANNEL NAME HERE",
    height: 576, // whatever your height should be for your aspect ratio this ultimate gets overridden by the css
    width: '100%',
    layout: 'video',
    parent: ['localhost'] // put your URL here
};
const twitchPlayer = new Twitch.Embed("twitch-video", options);```

then use this css
```css 
  #twitch-video iframe {
    height: 100%;
    aspect-ratio: 16 / 9;
}
