Another use case for this: I'd like to theme my channel around the seasons, like as fall turns to winter reward icons gain a snowy border; summer into fall the colors get more "fally." Small, but engaging. And really not worth it unless it could be automated :(

This is a major gap in the API that prevents custom apps from fully leveraging the channel points feature. Commenters here have listed tons of unique and engaging use cases, and there are countless others out there.

I second this idea. I am trying to make a reward where users can steal ownership and I want to use their profile image as the reward icon.

It should be nice to have. Alternative to URL, we can also directly provide the image in base 64.

That would be good, especially with the AI TTS meta at the moment. It would add something that a lot have wanted, and that more will enjoy

Is this potentially going to happen at some point? Would be really nice to assign icons programmatically as my chat bot swaps rewards in/out on a regular basis.

Any updates on this? It's been a couple of years and I've added more custom reward functionality to my chat bot, but can't have images assigned via the API.

If uploading any image is not an option, an acceptable alternative for my use case would be allowing an icon to be uploaded in the dev console under the Version Details > Image Assets for the extension.

Also, interesting thing about being able to "copy" a channel emote to a reward icon --- apparently the file size restrictions are just a little bit tighter on channel point rewards than emotes. I found that I had to do some creative editing of one of my emotes to get under the [25kb?] limit.

I recently added the ability to set custom channel point rewards on a per-game basis for my chat bot (so I can do like "!profile apply inscryption" and have Inscryption-specific rewards added (and other games' rewards get removed).

BUT, I can't actually set the icon for each reward via my chat bot, which means I'd have to go back and set up the icons manually.

Any progress on it? :/

C'est tellement facile a faire faites pas les féniants les devs ! :)

I am controlling several things mutually exclusive with those reward (users can choose the camera filming) and that functionality would allow me to change icon based on which camera is active (and if some rewards are "paused" due to not being available)

thanks in advance for working on that please

This would help a lot, I have a series of custom rewards that I want to create for a game integration, and uploading them manually is a nono for streamers who would be using it. The faster we can onboard them the merrier :D

it that would be very useful

Add a possibility to patch image of Custom Reward by api request

pls

+1

Super necessary :D

This would be huge!
