When Twitch streaming Chess.com games on mobile phone, board does not show while in a game.

Hi.  I tried to stream some games on Twitch yesterday using the Chess.com and Twitch mobile apps.  When I started streaming, everything seemed fine but as soon as I started playing, the whole stream went black.  As soon as the game was over, the screen was restored.  I then used game analysis to watch the game again.  This was possible.  The board and pieces were showing without any problems.  When I went back to play a live game, the screen went black again until the game was complete.

Is there something that I'm doing wrong?  Is there some permission that I need to provide or is this a block on live games that Chess.com are putting in place when streaming to Twitch.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Android had an update the causes that to happen and I haven't heard if there are plans to change the behavior of the change's interaction with streaming.
